WELCOME

This blog is about the adventure of traveling and especially the interesting people that you meet. We will share stories about people and places we have encountered from around the United States, Ireland, Scotland, England, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, France, Canada, Spain, Mexico, The Vatican, The Netherlands, Belgium, Zambia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Liechtenstein, Portugal, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovakia, and more. This is not a travelogue -- we leave that to Rick Steves -- this is a collection of fragments in the journey of life.

Sutter Buttes, California

The Sutter Buttes are a set of eroded volcanic domes that are located in the midst of the flat Sacramento Valley. It is a California State Park to keep in from becoming overrun by hikers. It is sometimes available for reservation. It is named for John Sutter who received a land grant from the government of Mexico. The air force at one time used part for a missile base. A U-2 airplane crashed there.

(after Wikipedia)

When we take our many flights from Sacramento to Portland we often fly over the buttes. The photo is from one flight.
