Unlike other white, powdery magical substances, Boric Acid is actually good for you…read more It preserves food, makes fireworks, cleans jewelry. Boric acid mixed with water is an acne treatment. Used in the ear it helps with ear infections. It kills fungus and athlete's foot (just apply the powder straight). It is antibacterial and can be used as an aseptic. And (my personal favorite) stick a gel cap full in your yoni a few nights in a row and you will be yeast infection free. Don't be thrown by it's labeling as a rat/bug killer. Boric Acid is an amazing thing.

Given that we were two hours ahead of schedule getting home, we decided to make a little pit stop. Two miles of rough dirt road in my Scion xA later, we pulled up to a few nondescript portables with an outhouse-- very "The Hills Have Eyes." Regardless of the creepiness of the middle of nowhere to a couple of OC babies, we waltzed into the visitor's center and were told the story of the archaeological dig site. Since they've been digging since the '40's, it's probably the oldest archaeological site in the country. There is controversial evidence here of early man having made tools here as early as 200,000 years ago-- well past previously-estimated findings. Mostly a lot of rocks with sharp edges found here. We took a quick walk around the dig site (mostly some rocks, dirt, etc.), took some photos for the album, and headed back on down the road again...

Great little hike with some shade for the family. Park by the Metate Trailhead sign and cross the…read moreroad to where trail begins. According to AllTrails the hike is called Metate Trail and is approximately 2 miles of fairly flat trails. There are many different trails that links to this so you can extend your hike and go a totally different way. The Indian Rock Camp is only about 1/4 mile into the trail if you take the entrance on the left that says "interpretative." Once you get to the sign you will need to explore the hill for the Rock Camp. Our kids had a blast exploring and looking for acorns to play with. There is also a small hut for the kids to explore. Further down the trail is a small creek and lots more trail to explore. We saw signs of a large herd of deer so if you are quiet you maybe in for a surprise.

Starting at the Rock Camp Forest Service Station a very short trail (maybe a mile) winds through a…read morebeautiful grove of ponderosa pines and soon you will see a sign for the centuries (and maybe millennium) old Serrano Indian rocks that were used to grind acorns into meal for use as food. I love this place because it brings everyone back to reality, letting us know that we were not the first ones here, and we will not be the last. Its a really neat little piece of history in a secluded patch of woods. The trail head is located at 34.287955, -117.212582, just walk east and you'll run into it. I'm pretty sure there is a map and sign there as well.

What a beautiful little gem of a place far off the beaten path up in the high desert of CA…read more This is a man-made lake is located in the Mojave Desert about 1-1/2 hours drive from Los Angeles and just 40 minutes from San Bernardino, Ontario and Inland Empire areas, the Club is just a 10 minute drive from the 15 Freeway. Here's some history of the lake: Boise Cascade Corporation acquired the land and projected the layout of Spring Valley Lake, and in March 1969 the company broke ground. The Spring Valley Lake project was built upon Kalin Ranch, a former cattle ranch that was being utilized for alfalfa farming and lay serene and quiet on both sides of the Mojave River. The whole area was at one time called Rancho Verde Co., which was purchased in 1877. Lake construction began in June 1969, and was officially filled and completed in February 1970. The lake is one mile long and reaches a depth of 22 feet. The lake is surrounded by a community filled with homes with both modern, funky and vintage architecture. No two homes are alike. There are plenty of houses that I would love to call mine one day, especially those right on the lake. There is also a golf course, a country club, tennis courts and various other amenities. Its a great place to drive around to get out of the hustle and bustle of LA and get a nice cozy small town feeling.

There are a few spaces for parking and the gates were opened when I arrived. There are a few flights of stairs so I got to it and I was met upstairs by a volunteer. He gave me a run down of the history (ex: it was named after a strawberry farm owned by a man named Bart) and he even pointed out popular spots off in the distance. Impressive mountainous views on top of the 30 ft tower built in 1934. There are multiple other peak tower lookouts around and best of all it's free--donations are accepted. All in all this was a nice visit and one way to quiet all the noise in nature.

Such an incredible view and fun hike!…read more The hike itself is easy/moderate walking up the road. Definitely a hike that you can do with people of any experience level. There aren't too many cars that go by, but it is good to be mindful of cars that could be going down or driving up in the parts of the street that overlap with some of the residential houses. The hike itself is maybe a mile depending on if you start all the way at the bottom of the road or park a little bit up. When you get to the strawberry Peak fire lookout, you get to go up into the lookout tower. If you are afraid of heights or claustrophobic, this might be a little uncomfortable since you are going up into the little metal lookout and you can feel the wind move the building and see-through the metal slats to the ground. If you can handle it, the views are so worth it! You get to learn about the history of the lookout tower and you get a full 360 view around the mountain. For nature lovers this is a really cool experience. If you are with any small kids, the Rangers also give out little cards and tend to have a fun pin or something for kids. Just make sure to go during hours that they are open. If the tower is closed, you will not be able to go up in it, but you can still see some of the nice view.
