The Stranger Side of Travel

August 19, 2014 by Jessica Meddows2 Comments

See dem hills? I live in dem hills… The man pointing at the blue-green hills in question was talking to my mother. He looked like Billy Ray Cyrus -- if Mr. Cyrus had less teeth and a meth-addiction. We were in rural Australia, and this young man with an uncanny resemblance to a junkie version of the popular country singer was doing his best to woo my mother. My teenage sister and I were highly amused.  Over a decade later, we still … [Read more...]

Ruby Canyon: An Isolated Jewel of the West

August 12, 2014 by Jeffery CassityLeave a Comment

The one and only time I passed through Ruby Canyon was on my way west aboard Amtrak's California Zephyr.   It was on my trip to start a new life in California in May 2013.   Located on the Colorado River on the Colorado-Utah border, the only access to the canyon, other than the passing through on the Union Pacific Railroad lines that Amtrak uses for the Zephyr, is the river(i.e.rafting).  It is a marvelous site to behold. The canyon is roughly … [Read more...]

Accidentally falling in love with the California Zephyr

May 2, 2013 by Eric White2 Comments

I haven’t always been enamored with trains. In my past travels, I had been on several rails both in the United States on the east coast and also through small parts of Europe. Those times however, I was too young and naive to appreciate the significance and beauty of a well-placed rail. Now, more than three months into my newly nomadic lifestyle and about 10 years since my last rail adventure overseas, trains have become a larger and more … [Read more...]

June 14, 2009 by Gari Ghigo1 Comment

guy girl

This is a story of a travel and of a girl; of long ago memories. So long ago that I cannot even remember the girl's real name, nor many of the places; only that it inspired love. What better trip is there than that? It started as a mini-trip to San Francisco with a college roommate. He and I were to travel on a budget of zero dollars, excluding a full tank of gas. We wanted to see Haight-Ashbury, the hippy scene of '67. After collecting glass … [Read more...]
