By 5teve-0 | March 27, 2017 | Category 2012 ZVW30 Toyota Prius Four, Road Trips

With the addition of a baby, we need to expand the Prius’ cargo space to accommodate for the new little member of the family when we hit the road for road trips. Since I was not able to discuss the Yakima SkyBox 16 Carbonite in as much detail as I would like to in a […]

First “Real” Road Trip With Our Infant in Our 3rd Gen Prius

By 5teve-0 | January 4, 2017 | Category Road Trips

Many parents we’ve conversed with said that once our newborn enters the world, our favorite pastimes and routines will all go out the window. Instead, sleepless nights and nonstop exhaustion will take their place. While I do not 100% dispute that statement at all, I don’t agree with it completely either. Sure, our daily routines will […]

Winter Road Trip to Vancouver, B.C. With Stops

By 5teve-0 | October 23, 2014 | Category Road Trips

Every year, we try to embark on one road trip. I’m not talking about a regular 400+ mile round trip road trip to the Central Coast (i.e. San Luis Obispo), I’m referring to a road trip that would last over 1,500 miles. For 2013, we drove from Los Angeles to Palm Desert, to Monterey, to Sonoma […]

After smashing through a record number of Prius projects this month, working long hours and finalizing all oversea trade show arrangements at my work (we’re exhibiting in Canada, Mexico and Brazil in addition to domestic shows), it’s finally time to slow down and take a well deserved break with the lady! Between designing a multitude […]

June Lake Loop and my first attempt at astrophotography

By 5teve-0 | January 22, 2013 | Category Road Trips

One area of photography that I want to dive into and ultimately improve upon is the area of astrophotography. More specifically, photographing the Milky Way. Ever since a child, I’ve heard stories from my pops describing a white band of light spanning across the dark summer desert nights along the sky above the Twentynine Palms […]

Rain-X Latitude wipers are in!

By 5teve-0 | December 13, 2011 | Category Road Trips

My Latitude wipers by Rain-X has arrived and it couldn’t arrive at a better time! My previous set of Latitude wipers lasted me a good three years, but has finally succumbed to the harsh heat of summer and relatively wet winters, courtesy to southern California climate. I like these wipers because they are well made, […]

By 5teve-0 | January 15, 2011 | Category Road Trips

Shelter Cove California is a small remote fishing town situated at the edge of society where the coastal cliffs and the mighty Pacific Ocean meet coupled with an abundantly rich history. It is as remote from civilization as it can get – still with some civility left over. After a “slight” hiatus from my previous […]

How to prepare for a road trip

By 5teve-0 | June 7, 2010 | Category Road Trips

I like to take road trips (for leisure or business) on an occasional basis. Aside from having an ample amount of gas on hand at all time, in order to mitigate any headaches, you and your vehicle must be prepared to take the road trip. I’ve created a simple check list that you can use, based […]

End of 2009 Sojourn: Shelter Cove – Part I

By 5teve-0 | February 17, 2010 | Category Road Trips
