Rockport, Texas is one of the most beautiful places I’ve yet seen on my travels. That short list includes the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, and Monterey, California. It’s full of palm and oak trees, and bordered by miles of coastline. It’s one of the top fishing and birdwatching places in the nation.
But, wait! There's more...A sign nearby says,
“On this spot the Earp and Clanton factions met on October 26, 1881 to settle the west’s most famous feud. Doc Holliday stopped on Fremont Street a few feet from where indicated. Here Frank and Tom McLaury finally dropped on Fremont Street. Billy Clanton died where he stood. Virgil and Morgan Earp were wounded.”
But, wait! There's more...Many RVers know about Slab City, some like it, some don’t, but everyone said, ‘You have to experience it at least once.’
I asked, ‘Why? What’s the attraction?’ No one could really say why, they just said it was ‘different’.
But, wait! There's more...Crazy dinosaur marketing schemes, lighthouses, giant golf ball houses, wayward donkeys, naked bookstore owners, and now this. A pyramid.

But, wait! There's more...A bit of randomness from western Arizona… The infamous Area 51 is in Arizona, a state where many people claim to have seen UFOs. I’ve met some of them. The people, not the UFOs. One told me there is a local support group for alien abductees. Huh? (I looked, but … But, wait! There’s more…
Seligman, Arizona, a small rural town, is known as the birthplace of Route 66. It’s full of Route 66 memorabilia. Along with a few themed restaurants and shops, there is the old Territorial Jail House from 1860. At one time it housed notorious outlaws such as Seligman Slim, Four-fingered Frank, … But, wait! There’s more…
How can you not love a town with castles, energy vortexes, fertility deities, and huge phallic rocks?! Sedona, Arizona has everything a traveler could want. Well, travelers who like men. Ahem. Shall we start with the spiritual stuff, and work our way down? Err, I mean south. Wait, scratch that. … But, wait! There’s more…
This post is a slight departure from my usual. The Grand Canyon’s North Rim being one of the most beautiful places I’ve yet seen on my travels, I feel it deserves reverence. Words can’t express the emotions that wash over you as you stand on the edge of these expansive … But, wait! There’s more…
