California Dreamin'

In November of 2005, Cowboy left his hometown of Jacksonville, Florida where he had lived all of his life to pursue his dreams on the west coast. He purchased a mountain house in the San Bernardino Mountains of Southern California. His house is a 3 story gambrel. He now lives in the house at the elevation of 5000 feet and shoveling snow & putting on tire chains are now a regular part of wintertime life. Some pictures of the San Bernardino Mountains and the area around cowboy's house are available here.
