Kruger National Park
Wild Places We Go

Kruger National Park

Posted on September 8, 2008 by Justin • 2 Comments

Kruger National Park was a component of this trip I was eagerly anticipating and I was not disappointed. Well, except in myself… We were in Kruger National Park for 2.5 days.

Lyrics for Depeche Mode’s – But Not Tonight

Posted on September 8, 2008 by Justin • Leave a comment

Oh God, it’s raining But I’m not complaining It’s filling me up With new life The stars in the sky Bring tears to my eyes They’re lighting my way Tonight And I haven’t felt so alive In years Just for a day On a day like today I’ll get away from this Constant debauchery The … Continue reading →

Southern Exposure – Part 3

Be Quick Or Be Dead

Posted on September 3, 2008 by Justin • Leave a comment

Ever wondered about this place on the way to (or from) Bullards Bar Dam? So did we. It’s an abandoned shooting range formerly operated by the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department.
