Glamis... Land of the Sand People

Have you ever been to Glamis? It is a fucking blast if you love sand. They have great sand out there, and tons of it. Giant fucking sand dunes. Welcome to Fucking Glamis...
Glamis is on the border of Arizona, Mexico and California. Keep an eye out for Princess Leia because this is where they filmed the Tatooine scenes in Return of the Jedi.

Glamis is a great place to roast up some food over a fire late at night. This was one of the best fires I have ever been around in my life. The wood these guys sell out here is unbelievable. Seasoned up and crispy as fried shrimp... Check out this guy's wood here. The firewood is also available in Orange County.

Big Bear MLK Weekend


Made a trip up to Big Bear a few weeks back. Took a few shots for you. Enjoy.

Expect a lot of fisheye for awhile. Loving this app on my phone.

Polaroid option... this is a tree on top of Geronimo, the highest served lift in Southern California... We went on a Friday and had the park to ourselves... pretty much had first chair up and and stayed until the parking lot was almost empty.

Special shout out to Olde Ivory...

Saw this picture of Ronald McDonald and I had to take a pic of it. Wow. Creepy to the highest degree.

Mountain High 11/22/2010

First day up on the mountain at Mountain High, Wrightwood, California. Mt. High is located about 70 miles from Disneyland. A few lift lines had opened last week, but the first real good storm had just hit this past weekend.


Pre ride snack... Welch's Grape Soda and Cheetos...


Absolutely beautiful weather...


The snow was pretty fluffy for Mt. High... Nicest conditions I have ever been on at the mountain. Real cherry day.

I spent a lot of time carving and just getting my legs back. It was cold so wear plenty of layers. They had about 5 jumps, a box and a rainbow box. The blowers hit pretty hard at the bottom of the mountain so I would suggest just stay near the top if you can.




Santa was there. Posting up...


Next time (tomorrow) I promise to get more picks of the terrain. Sorry for missing out on that...


Keep checking out the site for more updates on your local mountains in Southern California...

Food in the OC x GIMBIC = extra lbs.

What have I been up to? Eating.

I just want to give you a quick recap of what foodtography I had saved up on my cell phone. Picture quality is crappy. My deepest apologies.



Niberino's Meatball Sandwich in Anaheim is worthy of its own post, and it might receive one eventually, but for now I needed to expose you to this gem.

Looks like your typical liquor store on Ball and Sunkist on the border of Orange and Anaheim. Walk in, make a right to the back and order a Meatball Sub. Thank me later.



Super Teriyaki Bowl on State College and Ball. One block down from Nib's stands an odd looking building that serves up delicious chicken bowls. Good textures with the crunchy cabbage on top. Top notch service.



Who's that? Leonardo. Gumball eyeballs always take it to the next level for me.





Two Brother Pizza on Warner and Goldenwest in Huntington Beach. I rarely order cheese pizza, but they make theirs so good. It is almost like their tables and plates match their slice. You gotta coordinate... (Boomerang reference)



That looks like a Club Sandwich with friend zucchinis on the side. Has to be Hot Off the Grill in HB on Bolsa Chica and Heil. It's hard to find good zuchinni strips anywhere, but Hot Off the Grill's will make you do backflips. Also have to try their pastrami sando.

Don't forget... it's snowboarding season. Here's a shot from last year of Mount Baldy.



Have a great winter...
