Discover Rovaniemi - Jewel of Lapland
Rovaniemi is the provincial capital of Lapland. It is situated
only a whisker away from the Arctic Circle at the confluence of
Northern Finland's two great rivers - the River Ounasjoki and
River Kemijoki. The city was founded during the Stone Age and is
thought to have been continuously occupied since that time.
Today, Rovaniemi is seen as the gateway to Lapland and enjoys
its status as a popular all year round tourist destination.

Disneyland for Hikers: A Walk to Mt. Whitneybackpacking trip, but Dad, Tom and I are going to do it in a day.
Sierra Crest is marked at 13,600 feet, already higher than I have ever hiked. The elevation puts a clamp on my lungs, and I feel a vague sense of sleepiness creeping into my head, even though my heart is pumping. The trail rolls along the ridge behind sheer pinnacles. You could stumble and fall 2,000 feet, but the immaculate trail helps prevent that. Thousands of footsteps per year...

Augie Doggie and Doggie Daddy
This was a pair made for cartoons if there ever was one. Augie and his dad were two bachelors traveling around and getting into adventures and misadventures with humorous results. Augie was clearly the brains of the operation, but he was never going to reveal that to his Jimmy Durante inspired "dear old dad." We never did find out what happened to Doggie Mommy?

Don't Mock Me!
My favorite part of the Noah's Ark story is not that he listened
to his god and therefore managed to save mankind and the
animals, and it's not the rainbows, or even the dove as a symbol
of divine peace and love. My favorite part happens long before
the rains begin to fall. I love that no matter how much people

on building that ark. Think about how many days, weeks, months
it took to build that thing and all the...
