An afternoon spent walking around a county fair is always time well spent. I hadn't been to the Orange County Fair before and "giggled like a little girl." What summer fun and over too soon.

Tip: Get tickets online and skip the crowds. Parking is extra - $10.

Carving waves with his signature power and skill has brought Conner Coffin fame but you wouldn't know it meeting him. He's direct and humble with a winning charm which is why 805 Beer choose him for their latest documentary. It's a good match.

This Santa Barbara, hometown boy grew up tackling waves at the fabled Rincon Beach and dedicated himself to surfing early on.

The new 805 Beer Film, Mindsurfing, tells the story of the family and style that's propelling Conner to test his powerful, swooping style on waves around the world. Glimpse the opening night party here and watch the Mindsurfing video on YouTube.

Enter the Confluence - Meow Wolf's Denver installation and mighty collaboration with dozens of artists.

This is just a taste of all you can see and do. Unravel the secrets and new worlds emerge. It's just one of their creations. I visited the original in Santa Fe. Next time I'll see the Las Vegas production. New realms are opening in Texas soon!

Reconnecting with friends (& their laughter)is the best medicine. Tea is an event at the gorgeous new @copa_vida hidden in the La Jolla Tech District.

Check out Kansas City, KC from the Strawberry Hill waterfront to the Taco Trail.

So much to enjoy: Gardens, sweet bungalows, and museums filled with Croatian history, Hispanic culture, and Wyandot Native Landmarks. Walking is the perfect way to savor the views across the river to the metropolis of Kansas City, OK.

Thank you #urbanhikeskc

Lewis & Clark point the way at the confluence of rivers in Kansas City, Kansas. Part 1 of an amazing walking tour with @urbanhikeskc

Don't overlook the charms of both Kansas City locations, one urban, one small town sweet, across the river from each other.

Discoveries on a sunny day in Ketchikan, Alaska.
We were lucky to borrow a friend's car and drive from one end of the island to the other.

This isn't an exhaustive view of all the totem poles on the island but some of my favorites, especially the oldest as they fade back into the forests.

Totem Bight was created by the Conservation Corps in the 1940's with Native carvers from three different tribes. Saxman Village was created in early 1900's when several Tlingit communities collaborated to build a carving center and meeting house.

Just a few of the local wonders that everyone is welcome to visit.

Special thanks to the Page, Arizona @red-heritage Navajo performers for their drumming and singing recorded during a dinner theater performance.
Different tribes, I respectfully acknowledge.

Can't fly drones inside National Parks so, of course, we had to pull over and shoot outside of town.

Two sites here - An arch spotted on our way to Zion and views along one Colorado River tributary. The petroglyph rock was so close to the road that graffiti trolls added their own markings to the sacred boulder.
Not cool.

Respect our shared history and this stunning land...

Many thanks to @diverdave72 for the footage. Audio: Acoustic Sketches - Audio Hero Subscription
