Top Equipment to Have In Your Camping Backpack

October 6, 2022 by Greg BrownLeave a Comment

Advancements in design, material, and purpose have made every type of excursion more enjoyable. The days of a single, mammoth backpack holding everything a camper needs are long gone. Campers can no longer choose the largest backpack on the shelf and expect it to do the job for everybody. Hunters, backcountry trekkers, and hikers must consider carefully how they choose each camping backpack. Experienced hunters, no matter the game, obsess … [Read more...]

Sometimes You’re Not Lost. And THAT’S the Greatest Lesson of Them All

July 3, 2013 by WondernutsLeave a Comment

“Can you do me a solid, Madame Laveau?” I whispered, so close I could have sworn I felt her lean in. There was no response. Not yet anyway. The months before heading to New Orleans was a chaotic mess. I had lost my job. Or rather, my career. A career I had studied for. A career I took pride in. I’m a teacher. But as I left the office the day I was let go, I remembered what my former boss said to me before my dismissal: “Your. Students. Love. … [Read more...]

53 Days

December 13, 2011 by Ryan O'ReillyLeave a Comment

What could 53 days buy you? Think of it. What if you had 53 days? What could you do in that time? That length of time could buy you half a summer vacation. Or maybe you would look at it as two months salary minus the interfering weekends. Not long ago I exchanged 53 days for 2,341 miles. I then took those miles and exchanged them for an experience that I think changed my life forever. I was between jobs, you see, and so I took a Canoe and … [Read more...]

A Taste of Heaven

August 30, 2010 by Coco BatorLeave a Comment

Like blind tourists, my friends and I stumbled upon a small travel agency one morning in Panajachel, Guatemala. Little did we know, this happenstance would lead to one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life and the most delectable tamale I've ever tasted. I can clearly remember biting into that tamale - warm, delectable cornmeal surrounding a layer of seasoned chicken - after our return from an adventurous weekend in Semuc Champey. It … [Read more...]

Niagara Falls–Is it Worth the Trip

February 10, 2006 by Lila KahnLeave a Comment

niagra-falls

For years Niagara Falls has been one of the most popular tourist destinations in the United States and Canada. Visitors from abroad and North America cannot seem to shake their desire to visit this dramatic aquatic spectacle. But why exactly? The falls are not particularly convenient to any major U.S. city (apologies to Buffalo), which means visitors to the US will need at least two days to fit in a visit to Niagara. Furthermore besides the … [Read more...]
