haha man you aint kidding, i got so burnt last trip i still got a tanline like a barcode. never found the famous arch either just some rocks and a lizard that looked mad at me. next time im bringin 2 coolers n a umbrella for shade, desert dont play.

I went to Rialto Beach on a dare and ended up obsessed. Giant driftwood, fog, and the world’s best tidepooling—seriously, starfish everywhere. Bring coffee, it’s always chilly.

Where can I find the most legendary dive bars with a real story, not just sticky floors and stale pretzels? I’m chasing the kind of place that should come with a warning label and a therapist on retainer. Blaze, hit me with your weirdest finds.
