Yoshi Yoshino stayed at the hostel and taught us about the benefits of running barefoot!
Listen to the PBS interview:
http://www.kpbs.org/news/local?id=7294
“There isn’t a lot of scientific study on barefoot training. Research
has shown that wearing shoes to exercise takes more energy, and
that barefoot runners use about 4% less oxygen than shod runners.
Other studies suggest barefoot athletes naturally compensate for
the lack of cushioning and land more softly than runners in shoes,
putting less shock and strain on the rest of the body. Barefoot
runners also tend to land in the middle of their foot, which can
improve running form and reduce injury.”

Yes, compressed air is not as efficient as batteries. But batteries are dirty and cost a lot!
Get solar panels and drive one of these compressed air cars by 2010!

In 1967 the largest Joshua Tree in the world was discovered near Big Bear Lake!
I’ve been here for six years and hadn’t heard about this spot.
I wrote up the details near the bottom of this page:
