Started making plans then to come here thinking 'Texas would certainly be the best place for...

    Worst salvia trip sitter ever...

    I’ve never done salvia but one of the best acid trips I ever did was in San Diego County. I used to commute from an old ranch house out on old Hwy 76, a place that’s long gone, and Solana Beach.

    Take a Helicopter Tour. It Will Be Fun They Said

The pilot of this MD500 did a great job of putting it on a very small beach. Looks like he may have flared a little early which is why the helicopter...
