I never realized just how close Vegas is to Hoover Dam. Guess all the times I've been to Vegas, heading outside the casinos hasn't really been a priority (nor has being awake during daylight). But, it was just a quick 30 minute drive to see one of ... Read more >

I thought Las Vegas would be a convenient stop to break up the trip from LA to Zion National Park. Turns out it was the about the only place you could stop between those two points. Once I left Barstow, CA it was hundreds of miles of open, desolate ... Read more >

The first day of my year-long adventure started off with some good omens. First, when I woke up Northwest Airlines was still in business and operating which is definitely not a gimme these days. They seem to be day-to-day at this point, but it looked ... Read more >
