paperback. Condition: Very Good.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. California's lost histories, from mining towns to forgotten cities, lie buried in the ruins awaiting rediscovery.Throughout its rich and storied history, California has seen the rise and fall of countless individuals, industries, and empires. Men have dug deep into her rich soil in search of mineral wealth, hauling out tungsten, silver, mercury and, of course, gold. Loggers plied their trade in the dense forests of her northernmost corners, harvesting redwood, fir, and pine that would build the metropolises of San Francisco, Sacramento, and Los Angeles. Entire cities have been dreamt up, built, and then left to rot in the desert sun or salty coastal air. Along the way, untold thousands of locations have slipped through the cracks of time, seemingly forgotten in mankind's eternal quest for greater things. Such is the nature of time that nothing lasts forever; all over the Golden State, the lost histories of California are waiting to be discovered by those intrepid, and perhaps, foolhardy enough to seek them out. From the sunbaked beaches of Los Angeles to the rugged cliffs of the Lost Coast, wherever humans have briefly tread can be found the decaying remains of the world that once was.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The Gambler 500, a $500-car off-road challenge, has grown into a nationwide community and cleanup movement.The Gambler 500 began as little more than a way to kill a weekend. Over beers in a local tavern, founder Tate Morgan and a couple of friends laid out the guidelines for an off-road navigational challenge. The catch? Each challenger's car had to have a purchase price of no more than $500. Soon enough, word started to spread, and the guys began to receive inquiries about participation from people all over the country. By 2022, the "OG Gambler" held every summer in Central Oregon was attracting thousands of participants from all over North America. Regional events sprang up in every corner of the U.S. Along the way, Gamblers have removed over one million pounds of garbage from America's public lands. More than anything, however, the aggressively tolerant alternative to traditional car culture has become a sort of surrogate family to all manner of people. Builders, rugged explorers, and more than a few lunatics have all carved out a place for themselves in the Gambler community. Collected within these pages are just a few of their stories. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

When he isn't listening to heavy metal while carving up a Mercedes in his driveway with an angle grinder at one in the morning, Clint enjoys racing cars, exploring abandoned buildings, hiking, lifting weights, and writing works of fiction that he will never publish. He lives on the sunny central coast of California with his fiancée, Ashleigh, their Pomeranian, and more cats than is probably advisable.Read more Continue reading Read less.
