Have an adventure on me.

The Sunrunner Magazine is your access guide to the desert for which I write a column on everything from places to visit to surviving those places when Mother (Nature) goes "Tag! You're it". The article in the next issue deals with visiting the desert and shall hopefully lead you to try one of several adventures I shall post about both here and at DesertBandanna.com Two adventures are planned with the first being worked on. Starting here in the virtual world it shall hopefully lead you into the desert to put your feet on the ground.

The Sunrunner Magazine shall be available at the
Los Angeles Times Travel and Adventure Show
February 14 - 15, 2009
Los Angeles Convention Center
Travel Trade: Saturday 8 – 10 am
Public: Saturday & Sunday 10 am – 5 pm

and online at TheSunrunner.com

A change of name.

As you can see we have a new name, The O'blogitory so called because because my friends and associates seem the think that blogs are obligatory these days. Hence the name The O'blogitory. That is also the reason I do not write in it often. Yet in light of recent emails (a half a dozen or so) I shall endeavor to update it more often seeing that people now think an virtual presence on the Internet is more important than a physical presence in real life.

On with the show

On the calendar: Sunday March 1st 2009 is the 10th (I believe) annual Hike for Hope Breast Cancer Research Charity hike at Indian Canyons in Palm Springs, Ca. My wife and I have been a part of this for many years and urge you all to attend for a day of hiking in one of the deserts most beautiful settings. Hikes range from easy to strenous.
