SANTA CRUZ ISLAND AND CHANNEL ISLAND NATIONAL PARK TOUR
This week, I visited Santa Cruz Island, the largest of the Channel Islands off the coast of Ventura with Island Packers. Five of the eight islands are a National Park and often referred to as the Galapagos of North America since they have many indigenous species of flora and fauna.
The boat ride to the island is about an hour, complete with some rare blue whale sightings. Once the island came into view, we saw sheer cliffs and sea caves in every direction. We docked on a makeshift harbor called Scorpion Harbor where we received a quick orientation from the National Park Services. The island is completely bare, except for remnants of an old 1880's ranch house called Scorpion Ranch, a primitive campground, and some kayak rentals. There is a camp site on the island for those who want to stay overnight.
We hiked up Cavern Point Loop which offers magnificent views of the harbor and sea caves. It reminded me of what California must have looked like before it was developed. The coast was rugged and covered in native golden chaparral. The water was see-through and abundant with kelp beds. While in the campground, we spotted a few island foxes, which are on the endangered species list.

TIPS FOR VISITING THE CHANNEL ISLANDS & SANTA BARBARA You should make sure that you give yourself at least three to four days to visit and explore the Channel Islands National Park, Ventura, and Santa Barbara. If you are traveling with kids that are a bit older and like the outdoors, you should really think about camping overnight on the Channel Islands. After the last boat leaves, which could be around 6pm depending on the season, you will have the island almost to yourselves. You just have to pay a small fee in order to stay on the island and there are limited services and facilities so you need to pack in and pack out. In order to get out onto the Channel Islands you will need to book a boat ride through Island Packers. The prices will change depending on the season, so make sure to check on that if you are trying to budget and plan in advance. The boat will make stops at the four different islands and you will get off the boat when you get to the island that you want to visit. There are great kayak tours on the islands, as well as some great opportunities for snorkeling. For information and booking you will need to go to Channel Island Adventure Company. You can also find some great hiking trails. You will also need to keep in mind that if you plan on visiting the Channel Islands, whether it is for the day or overnight, you will need to pack food and supplies. There are no cafes on the islands. Reagan Presidential Library is only about 30 minute away from Ventura. So if you like history at all and need a break from being outside, this is a really nice place to visit. You can also have some fun with a day on the beach or even just a relaxing afternoon. Black Sheep restaurant in Santa Barbara offers a chef's tasting menu that is great for a date night. FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR Travis loves to wear his Old Navy Sweatpants when he travels. Especially loves that they have zippers on the pockets to keep his wallet and phone in place.

Place LA: Trip to Santa Cruz Island with Friends of the Island Fox
On June 1, 2013, we joined the Friends of the Island Fox ( for a trip to Santa Cruz Island, part of Channel Islands National Park. After a 1.5 hour boat ride to Prisoner's Harbor, we hiked about, inspected the newly restored wetlands, saw the Channel Island Scrub Jay, island specific flora and, of course, the Channel Island Fox, an endangered species that only lives on the Channel Islands of California.

Endgame = Ether 8:22-25!! 'Wake Up', America!!!! :)
PLEASE READ THIS DESCRIPTION!!!! On August 21st 2017 a nuke's gonna go off and they're gonna say a terrorist did it like 911 so they can v chip us all, but it's the 'mark of the beast' from Revelation 13. There's 5 reasons how I KNOW it's gonna happen on that day: Reason #1: August 21st is the day a FULL solar eclipse goes through adam ondi ahman (that's where Joseph Smith said Adam and Eve lived).#2: August 21st is ALSO President Monson, the LDS prophet's birthday. #3: August 21st is ALSO the day the prophecy was given saying New York, Boston and Albany would be destroyed. #4: the bible ALSO talks about 'the moon being turned to blood' #5: And last, but definitely not least, it will ALSO be 'about' 1305 days from the day I quit smoking (see Daniel 12:12 King James Version.) It's a LONG story, but some of the Jews that control the world think it prophesies about me in the old testament. I don't even know why I try to tell people, it's not like anyone's gonna believe me!... ???? There's 5 STRONG reasons! What's 1 in 365 times 5?!?! that's a chance of 1 out of 1,780!... ???? I think God's trying to tell us something!... :)
PLEASE! Take the time to watch the first 30 minutes of THIS documentary. That's all that's REALLY necessary! The rest is kind of BORING!!!! LOL! ;)
Even this nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground; and when the Constitution is upon the brink of ruin, this people will be the staff upon which the nation shall lean; and they shall bear the constitution away from the very verge of destruction. ~Joseph Smith Jr.
And whatsoever nation shall uphold such secret combinations, to get power and gain, until they shall spread over the nation, behold, they shall be destroyed....
Wherefore, O ye Gentiles, it is wisdom in God that these things should be shown unto you, that thereby ye may repent of your sins, and suffer not that these murderous combinations shall get above you, which are built up to get power and gain--and the work, yea, even the work of destruction come upon you, yea, even the sword of the justice of the Eternal God shall fall upon you, to your overthrow and destruction if ye shall suffer these things to be.
Wherefore, the Lord commandeth you, WHEN ye shall see these things come among you that ye shall awake to a sense of your awful situation, because of this secret combination which SHALL be among YOU; or wo be unto it, because of the blood of them who have been slain; for they cry from the dust for vengeance upon it, and also upon those who built it up.
For it cometh to pass that whoso buildeth it up seeketh to OVERTHROW the freedom of ALL lands, nations, and countries... ~Ether 8:23-25
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the SAINTS, and to overcome them: and power was given him over ALL kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark...
~Revelation 13:7,16-17

P.S. I do NOT think the Hitler quote in THIS documentary is even true!!!! ;)

Re-Discovering the Ventura Harbor Village
Jennifer Talt-Lundin speaks with Our Ventura TV host, Marlyss Auster about the Ventura Harbor and the Ventura Harbor Village.
Ventura Harbor is one of the largest market squid offloading harbors on the West Coast. These squid catches are sold to buyers around the world, including China and India. In fact, Ventura Harbor (along with Oxnard and Port Hueneme combined) is named as one of the top 10 fish offloading harbors in the United States.
Jennifer touches on some of the new businesses in Ventura Harbor, including the Barefoot Boutique, a clothing and jewelry store; the Green Room (sports bar and lounge part of the Comedy Club); 805 Bar & Grilled Cheese; and Coffee Dock & Post; as well as some of the veteran establishments that include the Island Packers and the Ventura Yacht Club. She also talks about the new electric car charging stations, a food waste program, the Harbor Cove Beach, whale watching and the free trolley that rides between Downtown Ventura and the Harbor.
