Carizzo Plain - Take 2

Here are some more of my favorites from the Carizzo Plain trip. It's an interesting place for the landscape, but also because of the desolation. People do live there, we drove by a school, but it also could have been a ghost town. I guess it would be a good photographic series on the place as a whole, the landscape and the people. Maybe one day...























Here a quickie shot of the Rattlesnake that I almost had some words with:

My site was Hacked

If you visited my site, www.randallgarnick.com, in the last few days you would have seen a warning under the google search or a big warning before the homepage loaded. 'This site may be an attack site' or something to that effect. I didn't know I was so important that someone, or something would somehow want to insert ridiculous and malicious code into my pages. I feel so important now, like I've actually made it. Just kidding - and it's all fixed.

I hope to find a minute to put up some more of the Carizzo Plain images this week.

Quote for Whenever...

I get these quotes, from Runnersworld.com, and sometimes they just say a lot of nothing but every now and again I get one that really hits home. Feeling pretty sore this morning after a nearly 10 mile run yesterday and thought this quote makes sense in running but also in life:

"The idea that the harder you work, the better you're going to be is just garbage. The greatest improvement is made by the man or woman who works most intelligently."
Bill Bowerman, running coach

Think about that...

Carrizo Plain National Monument

So for my b'day a few weeks back, T & I took off for the Carrizo Plain National Monument. Here's a link to the BLM page:

It's one of those places you would never just stumble upon, but very cool. Here are a few shots (and in color for a change!!)
