If You're Feeling A Bit Peckish While Passing Through Montara CA

 Gherkins Sandwich Shop is the place to go

  TSG guarantees you won't go home hungry

A legitimate "two-fisted" BLT

 

 

A Welcome Visitor

Seen out by the pool yesterday.

 Due to the predatory nature of a couple of free-roaming felines, sightings of small critters like this (along with several lizard species, slender salamanders, etc.) have been a rarity of late. The cat owners moved out recently, so hopefully the populations will rebound over time. 

Relics

Coalilnga Drive-In c.1990

Everything Is Just (Jeep) Ducky

 Seen in Yosemite Lakes Thousand Trails Campground 

For those not in the know (including TSG until just recently) "Ducking" a Jeep is a way brand owners compliment other drive's rigs they come across on their travels.

Caught In The Act, Sort Of (Not Really)

We spotted this prowling bobcat just steps away from the Yosemite Welcome Center...a surprising place to be, considering how many people were milling about. He/she was so intent on his/her prey that we were able to get some pretty decent close-ups. Unfortunately we were not using "sport mode" and missed the money shot.

Name The Band, Win A Prize (Of Some Sort)

This zydeco-ish(?) cover of Book Of Love was taped off college radio station KFJC sometime in the 80s. 

So far this has stumped two message boards (both with stellar track records of sussing out such things) and a couple of "Shazam"-type song ID apps. (they can't even name the song). Worth noting: youtube's song-recognizing AI did not throw a copyright flag when I uploaded the clip. 

Good luck! 

Trailer For The New TSG Youtube Channel

For reasons too arcane (and boring) to get into here, we have inaugurated a new, TSG-branded youtube channel. Here's the trailer, which was a lot more work than we anticipated. And, as is always the case when we try to get a little fancy, things didn't turn out quite the way we wanted. Oh well...
