	The Wildlands Conservancy cares for 97,000 acres My natural cynicism always warns me off people and groups who appear to be working entirely for the common good of the rest of us. Sadly, a look at the financials mostly proves the hollowness of their stated objectives. [...More] Japan has changed, but it's still charming For a modern businessman a visit to Japan may not seem so very different as a visit to any modern city. A taxi from the airport; a new hotel; being picked up the next morning; and a long day of meetings before returning to the airport will not give you much of an idea of the place. [...More] Past fades as Japan adopts Western ways Normally, my columns are restricted to places where people can go on a day trip in or just outside the Inland Empire. [...More] Take off at the Redlands airport 'We'll meet under the beacon," was the suggested arrangement. Not being an aviator, I wasn't quite sure what that meant, but not wishing to show my ignorance I agreed.

From Chino, with its two air museums to the one in Palm Springs that is so full of well-kept aircraft, the Inland Empire has not only been an excellent home for aircraft it also seems to provide those many enthusiasts necessary to maintaining such craft. [...More] 'Bottle trees' spring up in the desert I know there's the expression: One man's trash is another man's treasure. I'm not too sure about it, myself, but it certainly summarizes the work of Elmer Long out in the desert near Oro Grande. [...More] Idyllwild: A journey to those other mountains Perhaps living in the San Bernardino Mountains has poisoned me for the other wonderful mountain ranges in our area. Perhaps it's a misplaced sense of regionalism. But the truth is I don't often travel to the San Gabriels, the Tehachapis or the San Jacintos.

But once you climb the stairs to the fire lookout at Keller Peak, the view can only be described as such. [...More] Green Valley Lake a hidden gem Something for everyone preserved in the Mojave Speedway offers more than just races for fun Get your kicks at Barstow's Route 66 Museum The past is present at Riverside Metropolitan Museum Discover Big Bear Lake's Discovery Center State park is ripe with citrus history, info Mission Inn has an old grace, a young spirit A museum full of treasures 'Surplus money' used to benefit all with museum
