Devil’s Lake Park Wisconsin
Devil’s lake is the must unique place in Wisconsin . I was attracted to it because I have a geology degree and unless you see it from a geology perspective, you wouldn’t believe it. The rock falls are unusual and high for the area and really steep. The …

I absolutely enjoyed my visit to the Pioneer Village in Minden, Nebraska. This place is a huge collection of Americana, full of wonder and history. As it is often advertised, it’s a living history and not just a museum or old west grouping of buildings.
Pioneer Village was …

Deuter Rucksack - Futura 22 SL

Long Beach, California
Long Beach, California is a great place to go, and yes I’m going to be pretty biased here in regards to this city. Not because I’m from this city, or even because I ever loved there. But all because I love the beach, and if I’m by a beach …

Tabacon Hot Springs Costa Rica
I’ve always associated volcanos as dangerous and unsafe places. You could say they’re temperamental as one day a volcano may appear to be resting peacefully then with a twinkling of an eye in an unpredictable moment they have a horrid habbit or erupting violently in a rage of anger …

Jekyll Island GA
I am a person who does not really enjoy the hustle and bustle of the big city. Traveling around Phoenix, while this may be much warmer than it is in the Northwoods, is not my idea of fun. (Just so you know, we live in the country …
