    Apostle Islands, Wisconsin: Lake Superior’s Stunning Sea Caves

    ByJenny February 25, 2021

    The name “Apostle Island sea caves” is slightly deceptive. The Apostle Island sea caves aren’t located on a picturesque sea in a warm tropical paradise. The Apostle Island sea caves are part of Lake Superior—one of North America’s coldest and most impressive Great Lakes. In the winter, Apostle Island in Wisconsin—which is composed of 22…

    Moses Bridge: Walk On Water in the Netherlands

    ByJenny February 20, 2021

    Once upon a time (in the 17th century to be exact), the West Brabant Line in the Netherlands was a series of fortresses surrounded by water that was used to fill moats and keep foot soldiers from staging sneak attacks. In recent years, there has been an effort to revive some of West Brabant’s most…

    Jacob’s Well: A Swimming Hole for Thrill Seekers in the Heart of Texas

    ByJenny February 17, 2021June 18, 2021

    In Texas, it is a rite of passage to dive into the sinister waters of Jacob’s Well. Teenagers dare each other to jump into the swimming hole’s 12 foot opening from great heights. Jacob’s Well is inviting from the outside. Who doesn’t want to swim in a clear spring encircled by rocks that form a…

    The Salvador Dali Museum: Florida Gets Even More Surreal

    ByJenny February 14, 2021

    It is absolutely appropriate that a museum dedicated to Salvador Dali—one of history’s most accomplished Surrealists—is located in the state of Florida. Florida is infamous for a seemingly endless stream of bizarre happenings that entertain and horrify the rest of us. Is a Miami man who tried to bite off a stranger’s face any stranger…

    Fjadrargljufur: An Enchanted Icelandic Canyon

    ByJenny February 12, 2021April 28, 2022

    Many Icelandic residents are not shy about their fervent belief in nature dwelling elves who can make themselves invisible to humans at will. Believing in a colony of invisible elves may sound absolutely preposterous to a person who lives in a big city where the landscape is primarily composed of concrete and steel. A trip…

    ByJenny February 8, 2021June 25, 2024

    45 minutes from Las Vegas, a lawless mine that once teemed with profitable gold and silver lays dormant in the scorching Nevada sun.
