San Luis Valley is my old stomping grounds & I enjoyed visiting it through your eyes. Thank you!

Twenty years ago I worked for this small pub chain in the states where each pub was constructed from old Irish Pubs which had been “carefully deconstructed, shipped overseas, and reassembled”. They claimed to have genuine Irish Guinness on tap. A handful of employees were from Ireland and they...

Hot springs are abundant near my home in Colorado, San Luis Valley. I always keep an eye out but I rarely see traveling kids come through which is understandable. It can be harsh here, in various ways, in all seasons and it’s barren. There isn’t much here and there are more direct routes to...

I’ve heard this take regurgitated so many times and the more I hear it the less sense it makes. In addition to wide spread corruption, Venezuela’s natural resources have been picked apart by capitalists for decades, local worker force abused and paid a pittance and when the feeding frenzy ended...

If I lived in TC I’d probably be unhappy too.

Wow, lots of hostility from Northern Michigan! You see the irony here don’t you? The truth is over the course of the last thirty years I’ve lived all over the country. If you slow down and reread my post you’ll notice that i said TC is welcoming and for the most part people in the surrounding...

I think it’s obvious that Trump is attempting to manufacture a political climate that will encourage citizens to welcome his use of executive order/emergency power. He is taking a page directly out of Hitler’s playbook by scapegoating a vulnerable, therefore easily defeated, common enemy...

I’m an electronic musician too and I understand how much time, effort and money it takes just to acquire the instruments to bring your vision to life, let alone learn how to use them. Twenty five years ago I spun records at raves all over the Midwest and traveling with turntables, mixer...

I live near Traverse City currently, welcome to the area. A word of warning though, there are lots of extremely conservative folks up here, lots of prejudice. Traverse City in general is fairly progressive and welcoming to new faces and alternative lifestyles. The surrounding smaller towns...

Traveling and writing always went hand in hand for me and traveling for me was a way to inspire and create a life worth writing about. I don't travel these days but I still write quite a bit. I was digging through some old stuff today and found somethings that someone here may appriciate. Also...

@Desert I've lived within a hundred miles or so of that portion of the I25 corridor for over ten years now and I'm familiar with that closed community phenomenon that you describe. It's not something I've ever experienced anywhere else and whether it can be attributed to Mexican Mafia, or simply...

Found this site a month ago and wish I had known about it 15 years ago. I'm presently homesteading in southern Colorado, about 90 miles north of Taos NM. My travel experience is limited compared to most of you, I've been all over the US, down into Mexico and up into Canada some, hitching...

I never had a problem with street food. Since it is being prepared right in front of you it isnt hard to discern which carts take sanitation less seriously. Take your time, walk around, find one that is serving fresher ingredients or one where the proprietor isnt licking his fingers between...
