The Valentine One radar & laser detector: don't drive through bandit country without it
This was snapped a few days ago on the way up through northern California on the way to Oregon. In the background is the beautiful, 14,162 foot, potentially deadly volcano people around here call "Mt. Shasta". I have some of these shots from the way out to Oregon, and some taken under snowy conditions on the way back to California, taken yesterday on New Year's Eve... maybe I'll post them sometime, entitled "Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Shasta" under the artist name "The Cowboy Hokusai". Or maybe not.
In the lower right hand corner, in the foreground, is my trusty Valentine One radar and laser detector. Excepting a year I spent in Japan, I've used this thing in three different vehicles - and numerous rental cars - for five years, and am incredibly happy with it. I spent about $450 for it and its accessories, but I'm sure I've saved several times that price in speeding tickets I didn't receive.

I've not heard of Curt Rich, but I'm certainly making a note of him now; thanks!

Really? I took this before the snowstorm, but I'll defer to your better local knowledge; thanks for the correction, if indeed I'm wrong.
Of course, on the way back I stopped at the roadside scenic rest area which claimed that this hill was Mt. Shasta. That was from another direction, different weather, and a much longer distance, so I may have mixed them up.
