Death Valley

Way cool: Death Valley National Park charms families. Ghost towns, sand dunes and bizarre attractions are found a few hours outside of Los Angeles. http://travel.latimes.com/articles/la-trw-deathvalley13-2008may13

San Diego

East County

Running out of gas in undiscovered East County. Summer 2008 may be remembered as a season of disappointment, when gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon, energy market distortions spilled over into grocery prices, and families had to give up expensive vacation plans. How sad. Summer 2008 may be remembered fondly as the time we discovered the East County we thought we knew but seldom stopped to enjoy. “Staycation”, enjoying inexpensive outings close to home, has leapt into our vocabulary. How nice. http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20080531/news_lz1ez31gas.html

Ramona

French settlers made their mark on early days of Ramona. http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20080608/news_lz1mc8wewere.html

An historic treasure of early Western culture can be experienced when you visit the historic Santa Maria Valley and the Guy B. Woodward Museum. Located in Ramona California, a rural country town 37 miles east of San Diego, this complex of historic buildings, including the famous Verlaque House, shops, antique exhibits and special artifacts, will delight the entire family. http://www.woodwardmuseum.org/

Annual air show flies economy this year. Cost of gas means fewer performers. http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20080601/news_1m1ramona.html

Los Angeles

He’s taking steps, all 4,182 of them. You could climb Mt. Whitney – or, like writer Dan Koeppel, get exercise (and more vertical ascent) on a 16.2-mile ‘walking tour’ of Los Angeles’ outdoor stairs. http://articles.latimes.com/2008/apr/14/health/he-nustairs14 http://homepage.mac.com/discovolonte/stairs/

Utah

other places

Overlooked attractions in the West. The region is full of overlooked gems, both wonderful and weird. http://travel.latimes.com/articles/la-trw-western22-2008jun22

Encountering the Integratron in the Mojave Desert. Three sisters take over the dome in Landers, where therapeutic 'sound baths,' time travel and who knows what else are said to be possible. http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-outthere20-2008jun20,0,6416796.story
