Mercey Hot Springs, California

We thought Magen would come with me and Kuya Bob to the Mercey Hot Springs tomorrow, but she made a last minute decision of not going. So Kuya Bob and I hasten in getting ready and drove to the spring which was an hour and 15 minute via I-5 and exit to Little Panoche Road.… Read More Mercey Hot Springs, California

Lodi Arch, California

I did this small article to dedicate this gem of architecture to the mission days of California. Even though this was created during the early 20th century this mission revival style represents California’s past and a symbol in the central valley. So let us begin the history. Design & Purpose “The Lodi Mission Arch, designed… Read More Lodi Arch, California

Jose Maria Alviso Adobe, California

It will only be a couple of weeks before I go ship to Great Lakes and another adventure close by won’t hurt.  Sam and I decided to go to a hidden historical park at the edge of San Jose by Milpitas. We took the Piedmont Road and found it by the foothills. It was empty… Read More Jose Maria Alviso Adobe, California

Petaluma Adobe, California

Another day for a great adventure with Deelow. Believe it or not, its Thanksgiving! There was nothing much to do at home so Deelow insisted we should go out and explore. Just like any other autumn day, it was dark and a bit cloudy. We head northwards passing Marin county and to Sonoma County.  To… Read More Petaluma Adobe, California

Mission Soledad, California

After our brief visit to the isolated, small town of Gonzales, Deelow wanted to venture more south of 101 so the next historical site we would come across was located in the town of Soledad. We passed through a big correctional facility and even saw the big zeppelin from Mountain View flying in the distance.… Read More Mission Soledad, California

Mission San Rafael Arcangel, California

After traveling around Marin County and looking to some of the historical places on our list, we finally head toward the city where there were abundant historical places. But first we checked the GPS to the place where the city got its name. It wasn’t that hard to find we just took an exit in… Read More Mission San Rafael Arcangel, California

Mission San Juan Bautista, California

  After exploring and getting lost in Hollister Deelow and I finally decided we should move on to the next town of San Juan Bautista. It was different from all the towns we’ve been to because this one was preserved as if we were in Spanish California. We drove to our destination and passed by… Read More Mission San Juan Bautista, California

San Juan Bautista, California

  After exploring the mission and its grounds, Deelow and I decided to walk around this small town. You can easily tell its old because of the small streets, which some seemed to lead to nowhere while the houses vary from different decades and maybe even centuries.   “During the mid to late 1700s, Spanish… Read More San Juan Bautista, California

Santa Clara, California

As I was saying, our early historical endeavors actually depends on two things: the website http://ohp.parks.ca.gov where the historical areas are located and the printed Google Map of our destinations. Early GPS models won’t be released until the end of the year and its unheard of from smartphones. Our first destination, of course, was Santa Clara. We… Read More Santa Clara, California
