Chimney Rock
This Nebraska Insights article is on Chimney Rock located in Western Nebraska south of Highway 26. My family and I stopped to see Chimney Rock a few years ago on our way to Fort Robinson. Chimney Rock is viewable from Highway 26, but we decided to stop at the Chimney Rock Museum to get a little closer look and stretch our legs for a bit. For some background, Chimney Rock was used a natural…

Sun Valley Lodge - More than just a cabin in the woods (review)
Sun Valley Lodge – More than just a cabin in the woods (review)
During my stay in Sun Valley, Idaho, I decided to check out the newly remodeled Sun Valley Lodge. I couldn’t afford to stay there, hell I can barely afford to stay in my completely empty house in Phoenix, (Remember, I sold everything else to do this project.) My only reason for coming to Sun Valley is because my friend offered me a couple of weeks in her timeshare condo and there’s a bed here.…

Stepping Up to Signal Hill
Stepping Up to Signal Hill
*Have you read Playing in Pubs and Dungeons yet? You might want to visit it first.
Following my impromptu tour of the Masonic Lodge I go back to my plan for the day which is to walk up to Signal Hill. I’d just like to take a moment to reiterate the point that this is one of the many reasons not to plan every minute. If I had, I never would have wandered into the Masonic Lodge let alone spent a…

Go Big or Go Home – Vote
It’s time again for the next vote, and this is a big one! While Texans like to say, “Everything is big in Texas,” Australians would beg to differ. You see, they have many big things in Australia. In fact, there are over 150 official Big Things. I thought it might be nice to visit one or two of them and, while I’m at it, I can tell you a bit more about the surrounding area. Oh, and I might as well…

Past Residents and Present Life
Just after 2:00pm my 29-seater plane approaches Lord Howe Island (LHI). I know this because the folks on the right-side of the plane are clearly entranced by something they’re seeing and, unless it’s that Twilight Zone episode with the crazy man walking along the wing of the airplane, I think we’re approaching LHI. I get the attention of the man across the aisle and ask if he can snap a photo for…

Motorbikes and Mountains
Today I’m taking my life into my hands and renting a motorbike. It’s easy to do through my home stay as Blue Cloudsrents them for $5.00 per day and there’s no muss or fuss. In fact, it’s not until half-way through the day that I realize I haven’t even brought my international driver’s permit with me and, oh yeh, I was given and signed absolutely no paperwork. Officially you need a motorbike…

Turn Around
Today I leave Da Nang and, while I’ve enjoyed it more than Saigon, the challenges with dishonesty remain stumbling-blocks in the way of me actually liking Vietnam. What helps are my young friend Yen and her family. (I met them yesterday. Read about it in Disappointments and Amusements.) They also leave Da Nang today to head home to Hanoi but before they do, they’ve invited me to lunch.Yen and her…
