Top 3 Thanksgiving Day Parades In The USA

Let’s take a look at the Top 3 Thanksgiving Day Parades in the USA this season. It’s an annual event in these select cities that takes place in November obviously on Thanksgiving Day itself. Every year, thousands of locals and out of town visitors come to watch theses respective  parades, and more than 50 million people view it live on television. There are bands, singers and dance groups, performance fanfares, and of course cheerleaders too. The main attractions always seem to be huge balloons with the image of cartoon characters and super heroes that are indeed bigger then life.

Many volunteers are working to make this year Thanksgiving Day Parade successful. If you’re in NY, Philadelphia, and Chicago, the parades are the events you should not miss. Certainly the month of November is the time of year when America sets aside a day to give thanks and spend time with the family at a table full of vegetables, stuffing, turkey, and pumpkin pie.

Thanksgiving Day has been highly celebrated nationwide since George Washington, the very first president of the United States declared the first Thanksgiving Day in 1789. Even before that there has been different churches within early America that have celebrated Fall Harvest Festivals within their respective communities to give thanks and offers of community fellowship.

How did a nationally recognized single day of Thanksgiving come about? Well, of course the most favorite story says that newly arrived pilgrims were near starving to death in 1621 at Plymouth, Massachusetts. It was because of the disturbing winter patterns in those years when the local native Indians pretty much came to the rescue of the pilgrims with fellowship and offerings. After teaching the Pilgrims how to cultivate the land, the two groups mutually enjoyed a successful harvest, thanked God and celebrated together for three days.

 Here are the top 3 Thanksgiving Day Parades

Are you wanting to know what are the top 3 biggest and best Thanksgiving Day Parades across the USA? It’s actually no secret that thousands of Americans have selected their personal favorites from attending these select parades in person or simply watching on television. The top three are from the cities of New York, Philadelphia and Chicago.

·         Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York

·         Thanksgiving Day Parade in Philadelphia

·         McDonald’s Thanksgiving Day parade in Chicago

 

#1. The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade (MTDP) in New York

This well-known Parade does everything it can to create an impressive carousel of extravagant poses, bands, musicians, and personalities. You may have seen this parade in Christmas favorites Miracle on 34th Street. It is always an annual favorite tradition for those to watch on television that stay at home preparing their Thanksgiving Day dinner.

 

#2. Thanksgiving Day Parade In Philadelphia

Philadelphia actually plays host each fall to the country’s oldest Thanksgiving parade that’s nearing 100 years old. The parade route begins on JFK Boulevard and ends at the Philadelphia Museum. It features top named celebrities, local choirs, dance groups, and classical music groups. As if that was not enough, you can always count on the appearance of Santa Claus too!

#3. McDonald’s Thanksgiving Day Parade In Chicago

You will see many amazing colors as well as an eclectic blend of characters floating, marching and dancing along State Street in downtown Chicago every Thanksgiving day. This always festive and colorful Thanksgiving Day Parade procession in Chicago started in the United States during the Great Depression and its goal was to lift the mood of Chicago. It certainly has.

In conclusion, the Thanksgiving Day Parade in itself can be considered an American holiday tradition. It is celebrated in large cities and several smaller towns all across the USA.

Always remember that Thanksgiving Day is an occasion and opportunity for you to count your blessings for family, friends and the freedom in your life to make choices. It is the opportunity for you to remember those loved ones who may not be with you on this day. Gratitude is the theme. Let’s celebrate this day with enjoyment and bliss!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Getting Spooky In Sleepy Hollow New York

Travel USA

Getting Spooky In Sleepy Hollow New York

The Headless Horseman rides again! You know it’s getting a bit spooky in Sleepy Hollow New York when you can walk around town and see references to the Legend of Sleepy Hollow firsthand yourself. The author of the famous Halloween tale novel, “The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow” was the famed writer, Washington Irving. You will discover that Washington Irving himself had been laid to rest here in the local iconic cemetery of Sleepy Hollow amongst many other characters from his famous novel.

Today Sleepy Hollow in New York State is a modern, diverse community with a population of just under 10,000 residents that seem to really embrace the local legend, and all the Headless Horseman tourism related lore it can generate.

The hamlet of Sleepy Hollow is located about 25 miles north of New York City along the eastern shore of the Hudson River and attracts thousands of visitors each year to it’s world-renowned collection of historic landmarks and places of literary interest. Of course once here, everyone wants to discover the history of the Headless Horseman legend.

Visiting Sleepy Hollow New York during the Halloween season seems to be the most particle journey destination one could make. If you think about it the circumstances surrounding the actual legend itself can become downright scary. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, written by famed novelist Washington Irving has become a literary classic over the years. A favorite Halloween tale for sure. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is a story as immortal as any tale has ever been. Of course the story centers around a lanky and weak, but book smart schoolteacher by the name of Ichabod Crane and his quest for love and perhaps courage as well.

Ichabod Crane travels to the quaint community of Sleepy Hollow and finds himself competing against Sleepy Hollow’s resident alpha male, Brom Van Brunt known to locals as Brom Bones for the affection of the township beauty, Katrina Van Tassel. While Ichabod was attending an impromptu Halloween party at the home of Katrina’s wealthy father, he starts to tell the story of the Headless Horseman legend. Ichabod is captivated by the tale and then his superstition overcomes him. Later that evening while traveling home, Ichabod is chased by the Headless Horseman himself.

The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow tale creates a sense of fascination for all ages every Halloween season. Most people don’t realize that Sleepy Hollow is actually a real place. Most caricatures of the legendary Headless Horseman will show a thundering black stallion will a headless rider dressed in black with a flowing cape, sporting a Jack-O-Lantern as a substitute head. This somewhat scary rendition of that image so perfectly embodies the spirit of Halloween, especially for trick or treaters. 

For those who visit Sleepy Hollow New York for themselves, you can read straight out of the book the quote, “There’s a little valley or rather lap of land among high hills which is one of the quietest places in the whole world a small brook glides through it with just murmur enough to low one to repose and the occasional whistle of a quail or tapping of a woodpecker is almost the only sound that ever breaks in upon the uniform tranquility a drowsy dream.”

Something else seems to loom over the land there in Sleepy Hollow and pervade the very atmosphere. The legends of the generational town folk also claim that Sleepy Hollow was bewitched long ago by a high German doctor during the early days of the settlement. Another legend states that an old Indian chief named Narwahro of the Weckquaesgeck Indians served also as a type of prophet and medicine man of his tribe. This Native American tribe was originally a part of the Mohican Tribe. Chief Narwaro often held his pow-wows within the Sleepy Hollow region footprint long before it was years later discovered by master Henrik Hudson.

Tourist absolutely love walking around Sleepy Hollow uncovering it’s history and legends as if they were one in the same. Many comment that there is still some kind of haunting feeling that permeates over this land but at the same time it feels inviting with modern buildings that blend favorably with the old landmarks that are described in the story. The old Dutch Church still remains as the main centerpiece of the legend to see.

This Dutch Church seems always to have made it a favorite haunting venue of troubled spirits as it sits on a quiet knoll surrounded by lofty elms locust and maple trees. The Church’s whitewashed walls glisten modestly like Christian purity beaming through the shades of darkness. You can almost see for yourself  the apparition of a dark figure on horseback without a head as some say it is the ghost of a Hessian Officer whose head had been blown away by a Patriot fired cannonball in some nameless battle during the Revolutionary War.that haunts this enchanted region and seems to be commander-in-chief of all the powers of the air is the apparition of a figure on horseback without a head it is said by some to be the ghost of a hessian trooper whose head had been carried away by a cannonball in a local battle during the Revolutionary War.

Getting Spooky in Sleepy Hollow can happen pretty much anytime of the year, however during the late October Halloween season is always the most favorite time of the year when local tourism hits it’s peak.

Did you know that The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow, a gothic story by American author Washington Irving was published in 1820. That’s just two years after Frankenstein was published by 21-year-old Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, in 1818. Frankenstein is frequently regarded as the world’s first science fiction novel. The gothic story of Dracula came along more then 70 years later as it was written by Abraham “Bram” Stoker in 1897.

As you wander from the Dutch burial ground and into the neighboring Sleepy Hollow cemetery, you can easily locate the grave of  author Washington Irving. What makes reading The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow so unique is that it always feels like Washington Irving is more like a narrator talking as he educates you on the culture of the town. It seems like he knows every person in town and like a fly on the wall,  you can imagine him at the local pub in conversation with all.  This is how all his characters within his story come to life to make the Sleepy Hollow legendary.

Sleepy Hollow – The Motion Picture 1999

In this 1999 Hollywood Movie Classic version of Sleepy Hollow, actor Johnny Depp portrays Ichabod Crane as a constable from New York City, sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitation murders of three people with the suspected culprit being the legendary apparition, the Headless Horseman. Upcoming Sleepy Hollow Movie Synopsis from Fandango Now.

Paramount Pictures, and Mandalay Pictures presents. Johnny Depp, in a Tim Burton film. “Sleepy Hollow.” 

Washington Irving’s tale of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman gets a few new twists in a screen adaptation directed by Tim Burton.

In this version, Ichabod (Johnny Depp) is a New York City detective (constable) whose unorthodox techniques and penchant for gadgets make him unpopular with is colleagues. He is sent to the remote town of Sleepy Hollow to investigate a series of bizarre murders, in which a number of people have been found dead in the woods, with their heads cut off.

Local legend has it that a Hessian Soldier’s ghost rides through the woods on horseback, lopping off the heads of the unsuspecting and unbelieving. Ichabod refuses to believe in this legend, convinced that there must be a logical explanation for the murders.

In time, Ichabod becomes smitten with a local lass, Katrina Van Tassel (Christina Ricci), who is the sweetheart of the burly Brom Bones (Casper Van Dien), and he becomes determined to capture the murderer to prove his bravery and win her heart.

Christopher Walken, Jeffrey Jones, and Christopher Lee highlight the supporting cast; Lee’s appearance is particularly apt, since Burton has cited the Hammer films of the 1960s as a major influence in making this film.

Andrew Kevin Walker and Tom Stoppard contributed to the screenplay.

Rated R for Adult Situations, Graphic Violence

Directed by: Tim Burton – Starring: Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Miranda Richardson, Michael Gambon, Casper Van Dien, Jeffrey Jones, Christopher Lee, Richard Griffiths, Ian McDiarmid and Michael Gough.

The video below, published in 2009 is a great narrative production of the history of the Legend Of Sleepy Hollow with several images and movie clips. It actually shows present day video footage as well as the producer visits and walks around the town of Sleepy Hollow himself giving great insight and commentary.

Things are getting spooky in Sleepy Hollow, New York only if you allow it. Are you ready to add this trip to your Bucket List yet? Just beware that once you are there,  your imagination can go wild  like Washington Irving’s did.  At least somebody had a good head on their shoulders in Sleepy Hollow.

Happy Halloween!

Fall Foliage Watch – Tennessee Style

Fall Foliage Travel USA

Fall Foliage Watch – Tennessee Style

Fall Foliage Watch – Tennessee Style can take you back to the days of Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett when they trekked the Cumberland ridge on foot as frontiersmen exploring this vast wilderness and often commenting of the spectacular beauty and wonder that Tennessee had to offer especially during each fall season. When I personally witness the change of colors of the leaves each autumn season in Tennessee, it always brings me a sense of divine appreciation.

Most people think of New England as the main destination to see the fall foliage, but there are other states that offer top quality views of colored leaves fall. Tennessee is just one state, with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park offering numerous autumn foliage tourism opportunities. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is known internationally by tourist as the “most visited National Park in North America,” and offers an impressive view of the changing colors of trees that are settled an amazing 11,482 feet above sea level.

Typically beginning towards early to mid October each fall season, eastern Tennessee offers the first fall foliage view, with the western part of the state doing the same at the end of October and sometimes towards the beginning of November. There are more than 400 species of trees there that feature brightly colored leaves throughout the fall.

 

Tennessee River Fall River Cruise

For a more romantic autumn Fall Foliage tour, get on board the Tennessee River Fall Cruise. The Tennessee River in an area known as the Tennessee Grand Canyon. Visitors see a variety of autumn colors found in the trees around the canyon. The captain of the tour boat also provides a narrative about the Native American history of the area. There are binoculars on board to narrow your viewing pleasure of both fall foliage and wildlife. The boat moves at a snail’s pace so visitors don’t miss anything. The tour also includes a full barbecue dinner for all guests.

Did I mention that Chattanooga Tennessee offers several awesome fall foliage steamboat excursions too? The Fall Colors in the Scenic City you must see to believe!

Tennessee Central Railroad’s Fall Foliage Excursion

The Tennessee Central Railroad Museum offers its customers the opportunity to see the colorful leaves across the state from an authentic rail environment. With large windows made for sightseeing, this excursion train also has air conditioning, luxury seating, and additional activities on board. Departing Cookeville, Tennessee the fall foliage excursion is a 180-mile round-trip which travels through the Tennessee countryside for flashes of fall color, as well as brief stopovers at some of the smaller towns in the state, like Watertown and Monterey.

Did I mention that Chattanooga Tennessee offers several awesome fall foliage train excursions too? The Fall Colors in the Scenic City you must see to believe!

Smoky Mountain Fall Foliage

Visiting tourist simply marvel each fall season at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The always colorful Smoky Mountain Foliage offers visitors the opportunity to see the stunning colors of autumn present in this mountainous region that stretches across eastern Tennessee. There are always local guides who spend typically three hours with each visitor group, providing some informative narrative about the local area, the fall foliage best observation points for scenic views and the history associated with the Smoky Mountain range itself.

One of the best observation points for your fall foliage viewing pleasure is the tour stop at Newfound Gap, which serves as a marker for the North Carolina and Tennessee state line. It offers visitors the chance to see scenic fall foliage well above the tree line.

Fall Foliage Photography Quick Tips

Basic guidelines of landscape photography can be applied correctly to the image of fall foliage to enhance the myriad of warm reds as well as oranges on the nature canvas out there.

Many types of fall foliage or autumn leaves photos are shot from the trees at a distance, creating a thin carpet of different colors against the earth and the sky. Never hesitate to approach the trees or even to photograph a colorful tree from an unusual angle, for example under the branches of the trees.

Lastly, try adding a different but related theme to the photos for soft or strong contrast. For example, you could place a squirrel near the viewer with a colorful spot behind it in the foreground. However, if you cannot get so close to the squirrel or any other wildlife subject, just select a nearby house, stream, barn, fence post or tree that speaks to you.

Middle Tennessee Offers Stunning Fall Colors

In Middle Tennessee, one has to take a visit to the historically famous Natchez Trace Parkway. It’s a scenic roadway that begins just west of Nashville and extends hundreds of miles deep into Mississippi. Although it typically doesn’t last very long, each fall the leaves turn their autumn colors and the look is spectacular.

All around Middle Tennessee you can witness the splendor of fall colors from within Nashville itself, to the surrounding communities of Brentwood, Franklin, Leiper’s Fork, Nolensville, Murfreesboro, Lebanon, Mt Juliet, Hermitage, Old Hickory, Hendersonville and Gallatin.

It’s from Nashville that you can head north to Ashland City and Clarksville to see the wonder or go south a few hours to Chattanooga for a fall foliage experience like you haver never seen. In fact, Chattanooga has everything when it comes to viewing fall colors from hiking, going by Riverboat or even by Train… Chattanooga really has you covered for any option.

Like I mentioned earlier, timing is critical in seeing fall colors at their absolute peak in Tennessee. Once it hits… the spectacular colors don’t last that very long.

From Dollywood Theme Park in Pigeon Forge to the east, or to Elvis’s Graceland Mansion in Memphis to the west, Tennessee offers several locations like Chattanooga and other places of interest from all over the state to catch the fall color season. You just need to be ready to enjoy and savor it when it comes your way.

Fall Foliage Watch – Tennessee Style is really a special event each fall season to embrace and behold.

Point Barrow Alaska – No Roads In Or Out

Travel USA

Point Barrow Alaska – No Roads In Or Out

Point Barrow Alaska is the northernmost point in Alaska, far above the Arctic Circle and even today has no roads (going very far) in or out of this community of 4,335 people. Point Barrow is locally and officially known as Utqiagvik. The town was named after Sir John Barrow of the British Admiralty by famed north country explorer Frederick William Beechey in 1825.

The only way to really access Point Barrow these days is by plane (typically two flights daily) or by boat (barge) usually just two months out of the year. Because of dire transportation difficulties, the cost of living in Point Barrow is off the charts high and actually is reported 53.6% more than the average cost of living in the United States. Although salaries and wage type jobs pay pretty well up here, common food and supply items are extremely inflated from $17 dollar frozen pizzas to $40 dollars for a gallon of bleach!

With all that said, I was somewhat surprised to discover that many of our subscribers have mentioned to me by email and polling list that Point Barrow Alaska is indeed on their Bucket List as somewhere within their top 100 destinations that they would like to visit someday.

It seems the majority of visitors to Point Barrow just want to visit there to stake their claim that they traveled to the furthest northern point of the United States. Many of those same people also had visited the furthest southern part of the United States already by traveling to a far different climate – in the Florida Keys at Key West, Florida.


You may now be wondering, hey I might be able to easily handle the warmth and the Hemmingway Lifestyle of the Florida Keys too, but would Jimmy Buffet ever trek to Point Barrow?

My Family Connection In Point Barrow Alaska During WWII

Ever since I was a youngster, I was always fascinated with Alaska from all the stories my father would tell us kids around the dinner table about his service in Alaska during WWII in the Army Air Corps. Yep, that was just before they transitioned to the (USAF) United States Air Force. You see it was in Alaska, that just after Pearl Harbor became a major military location for personnel, aircraft, and airfields designated to defend the continental United States from enemy attacks or potential invasion from the northwest.

Alaska’s strategic defenses was indeed the frontline to North America. In fact it was the Japanese occupation of the Aleutian Islands of Kiska and Attu in June 1942 made Alaska the one theater or area in the Western Hemisphere in which Army ground and air forces met with a sizable battle test during World War II. It has been documented as the only land battle of World War II fought on incorporated territory of the United States… since Alaska did not officially become a State until 1959.

My father was mostly stationed during World War II at Ladd Army Airfield in Fairbanks. He would often talk of his adventurous exploits with his army buddies when they were granted their special R&R (rest and relaxation) periods of free time. They would venture out to explore places like Mt McKinley or a take quick visit to Anchorage for some bigger city excitement. I’ll always remember his fond memory of flying into to Point Barrow like others… just to say he was there.

Of course talking about Point Barrow Alaska to a bunch of kids with all that snow, reindeer and polar bears, he had to mention that being already that far north of the artic circle he was planning to go all the way to the North Pole to see Santa and see if we all were on his NICE list… but then he got his new orders that he had to ship out and didn’t quite make it up there.

Point Barrow Alaska is truly an All American township in it’s purest form. High School football here, like in most small towns across the USA is the centerpiece of this community The Point Barrow Alaska Whalers are the one and only Artic High School Football Team In America. Here is a very nice video produced by the NFL Network.

At The Top Of The World – Life Is Lived Below Zero!

The Great Will Rogers Remembered

Pont Barrow is also sadly known as the place that the legendary Will Rogers, famous American stage and motion picture actor, vaudeville performer, American cowboy, humorist, newspaper columnist, and social commentator along with aviation pioneer Wiley Post died in a plane crash 16 miles outside of Barrow, Alaska on August 15, 1935.

Today the Point Barrow Alaska Regional Airport is named the Wiley Post–Will Rogers Memorial Airport in their honor. Yes Point Barrow Alaska is indeed a quite remote destination to get to, however it’s also a very friendly place to live and visit almost anytime of the year. In fact one of Will Rogers famous quotes says it best…

“Strangers are just friends I haven’t met yet.” — Will Rogers

Just CLICK HERE or on the image above to request a $200 VIP CLUB CARD for FREE and then just activate it online. It’s really just that simple! Your 100% FREE taste of GOODLIFE USA’s private membership pricing on hundreds of thousands of hotels and resorts worldwide – at savings unavailable to the general public!

Happy Groundhog Day from Punxsutawney

Travel USA

Happy Groundhog Day from Punxsutawney

One day you too may be saying, “Happy Groundhog Day from Punxsutawney!” It could be that you feel compelled to make the trip to Punxsutawney Pennsylvania to experience Ground Hog Day firsthand just like Bill Murray in the movie by the same name.

Traveling from Detroit to Quebec, and the trip was developed around 2 events. Being at Groundhog Day for Groundhog Day to see Punxsutawney Phil in the flesh with one of them. We;ve all seen Ground Hog Day with Bill Murray and I wanted to take that PA experience in for myself. Together with my buddy Dave @fossores we made it happen. A Life Highlight!

You can tell the level of excitement from the video as they document…

We are actually in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania. This is a wood carving of Phil behind us. As we videolog – this adventure blog… we have to be here at 3 a.m. There’s like a mile and a half in the dark in the woods to get to the fireworks display and the live band and the hot chocolate. Three and a half hours with before Phil even considers coming out of the hole.

It is three in the morning and we are preparing to go mount the knob. We are going to gobblers knob and this is where Phil is at. We are going to get the knob bus. We have arrived at the gobblers knob.

To create excitement within the gathering crowd the event host says, “He’s got a big job, a little over an hour from now so let’s get him a little fired up what do you say?”

Are you ready to get serious about the weather? Is it six more weeks of winter? [Applause] or is it an early spring?

The time has finally arrived, “Alright we’re about ready to find out…. Punxsutawney Phil!”

Then it is announced… Ladies and Gentlemen… he has made his prediction…

As it turns out Six More Weeks of Winter!”

Obviously most people remember and associate this annual event in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania with the hit movie Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray as TV Weatherman Phil Connors.

Just like in the movie itself, you can watch it over and over and over and never get tired seeing it… ever!

So now you’re wondering… how in the world do I even get to Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania? If I had the time and money to one day go there, just because I could… would it be adventurous enough to put it on my bucket list?

What if I told you a super secret resource that many world travelers, bloggers & vloggers are using right to eliminate both those limitations of both time and money.

It’s called GoodLife USA and not only can you save money with a small monthly subscription, but you can earn substantial income as an IBO/Affiliate too if you want to make money whenever you travel, eat, sleep or have fun!

Be sure to find out more about GoodLife USA on Travel USA Discounts where you can get deep discounts and savings on hotels, airfare, car rentals, restaurants, entertainment and shopping at any destination that you may select to visit any time of the year.

13 Stunningly Beautiful Places In America

Travel USA

13 Stunningly Beautiful Places In America

Want to discover 13 Stunningly Beautiful Places In America? I bet you haven’t heard about the northern part… From Castle Rock in Grove County Kansas to Watkins Glen State Park in New York, here are 13 Stunningly Beautiful Places In America you need to go visit.

There are beautiful places all across the USA from coast to coast however I think that you may want to see this video posted below that may very well open your eyes to a few more destinations that will take your breath away once you visit there in person.

Number 13 – Skadget Valley Tulip Fields from the northwest portion of the United States find this alluring wonder of Mother Nature inside the lush groves of Washington State. These luscious fields of tulip flowers grow along the Skadget River and there’s even a tulip festival held in this location each year in the spring time usually April 1st through the 30th.

This festival of flowers is said by many to be one of Washington’s largest outdoor festivals typically with nearly 1 million visitors. With hundreds, maybe thousands of individual tulips in all the colors of the rainbow, this place seems more like a dream than a destination making this place definitely worth checking out on your next road trip through America.

Number 12 – Garden of the Gods from Colorado Springs Colorado. This piece of gorgeous nearly untouched wilderness has many legends and folklore which surround it. The Native American UTE tribe is rumored to be responsible for the cryptic edgings found along the parks red rock walls as well as several carefully conceived fire rings which date back over 3,000 years.

This National Natural Landmark is set to be sacred ground by many Native American tribes. Some call this land the crossroads. Even the mightiest of native warriors would surrender their swords and quell their arrows upon entering the holy land. The Manitou Springs and inter-mountain trail, known as the Youth Pass are said to contain the most petroglyphs but few are able to decipher the stories which swell inside the ancient images.

Number 11 – The Painted Hills is part of the John Day Fossil Beds National Monument. Located inside Wheeler County Oregon, these hills which appears to be painted by the gods are listed as one of the seven wonders of Oregon. The layers of lavish color ingrained into the bed the sprawling rock, were formed when the area was an ancient River floodplain. The black soil is lignite, which was a vegetable matter known for growing along the base of the floodplain. The great colors are comprised of mud, stone, silt stone and shale. The red is laterite. Soils formed through natural deposits inside the earth. There are fossils of early horses, camels, rhinoceros and many more bones trapped inside the stones to be found here. This land is a paleontologists dream world.

Number 10 – Sonoran Desert. Finally a desert. Now we’re talking. This gorgeous landmass covers a large portion of the southwestern United States and is well known as a serene place of quiet and stunning natural beauty. Here in this desert the stars shine like you’ve never seen. Sunsets are rumored to be beyond astounding. Haboobs monsoons, saguaros, joshua trees, organ pipe cactus and all those timid desert flowers which bloom in nearly every shade of the rainbow.The full desert spans about 260,000 square miles but the coniferous Arizona mountain forests are said to be the most ravishing to behold. Find over 60 species of mammals, 350 species of birds, 20 amphibian creatures, over 100 different kinds of native fish, over a thousand native types of beef and more than 2,000 native plant species.

Number 9 _ Gila cliff dwellings. Get ready we’re going subterranean for this next ravishing piece of American Beauty. This United States National Monument was established primarily to protect the Mogollon cliff dwellings which run along the Gila River in New Mexico. The 533 acre park is full of rivers, forests, animals, plants and all kinds of natural beauty. However the real attraction resides beneath those lush green fields and towering canyons of rocks. Over 750 years ago, hunter-gatherer communities frequented this favorite place especially the Magana Native Americans.

A plethora of ruins remains from this ancient culture deep inside the mountain stone. Archaeologists have unearthed 46 rooms from the five caves which make up the cliff dweller Canyon alone and those ruins are only the beginning. There’s a TJ ruin, the Witte Corral, the Three-Mile ruin, the Cosgrove ruins and so much more.

Number 8 – Monterey Bay. This Bay known as Monterey can be found in the northern end of California’s Central Coast and is rumored to contain one of the largest underwater canyons on the entire planet. Find this world under the sea off the coast of Moss Landing. Exactly in the very center of Monterey Bay, marine life here is set to be mind-blowing. Species includes sea otters harbor and elephant seals, bottlenose dolphins, sharks and humpback and killer whales just to name a very select few.

Kelp Pier is set to grow as tall as trees forming what some call the Kelp Forest. The water flows in crystal waves and if the devastatingly beautiful scenery isn’t enough for you, try out the Monterey Bay Aquarium which is same nearly the world over

Number 7 – Yellowstone. This National Park is huge, like really really huge. The whole park is nearly 3,500 square miles. This Park has everything nature has to offer. Lakes, forest, rivers, mountains, a geyser called Old Faithful, the Morning Glory pool, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the Grand Prismatic spring are just a few of the natural beauties which place this National Park on the map.

If you’re into archeology, there are over 1,000 archaeological sites. There’s also the largest super-volcano on the continent to be explored here, as well as hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles – some of which are endangered. Yellowstone Lake is one of the highest elevation lakes in North America.

Number 6 – Turnip Rock on Lake Huron. Lake Huron is one of America’s five Great Lakes. It comprises the easterly portion of Lake Michigan but the real beauty lives inside the lake near Port Austin. It is called Turnip Rock, eroded by watery waves over the course of thousands and thousands of years, is this freestanding rock. The popular outdoor destination is well known by locals for its scenic views and crystal-clear waters. You can only reach this coveted landmass by boat. Once there, climbing the rocky ledges reveal a stunning forest nearly untouched by time or filthy human hands. The geological formation is a lesser-known American beauty but still one of the best especially for those who thrive in the outdoors.

Number 5 – Castle Rock and Grove County. Eons ago, as the stories say… an ancient sea covered nearly all of the Midwest. Inside this lush Grove, found in Kansas, a maddening array of chalk deposits spanned nearly 11 miles and are said to be breathtakingly beautiful. There are limestone pillars which tower over the nearby Badlands of the Smoky Hills region but the big sensation here is Castle Rock. A landmark on the Butterfield Overland Dispatch route known by many as the Overland Trail. Castle rocks name hails from its resemblance to a castle rising above the Prairie. This place of natural divinity is one of the eight wonders of Kansas.

Number 4 – Yosemite Valley. From the lush groves which dwell inside the mountainous world of Northern California, comes this monumentally gorgeous National Park. Enter through the tunnel view. Take either of the hiking trail loops which stay within the valley and lead to the trailhead which forces visitors to travel upwards for some truly scenic wonders.

Yosemite Falls is the highest waterfall in all of North America. The valley is around eight miles long and nearly a full mile deep. Some of the best summits are rumored to be the Half Dome, Cathedral Rocks, Three Brothers and Elcapitan. There are over ten wondrous waterfalls endless mountain rocks, gorges and canyons as well as so many pine trees it’ll make your head spin.

Number 3 – Horseshoe Bend. This next place of intensive American beauty can be found in the bend of the Colorado River from the Arizona side. Pretty darn close to that illustrious world of rock known as the Grand Canyon. This formation of land is as you may have guessed in the shape of a horseshoe.

The bend is located approximately five miles downstream from the Glen Canyon Dam and Lake Powell. The hike for access is roughly one and a half miles and from what the stories say is well worth the effort. A magnificent overlook is from 4200 feet above sea level and allows for a view of nearly the entire span of the massive National State Park. The steep cliffs which rise above Horseshoe Bend come in a dazzling array of colors thanks to all those lovely minerals.

Number 2 – Watkins Glen State Park. This devastatingly beautiful glimpse into the splendor of Mother Nature can be found in Schuyler County New York, inside the Finger Lakes region. The centerpiece of this luxurious park of all things nature, is a 400 foot gorge cut through the mountainous rocks by Glen Creek which formed from melting glaciers. Rapids and waterfalls grow wild here.

The rocks are mostly soft shales with several layers of color-changing sandstone and limestone. There are three gorgeous trails to enter the cavern of the gorge. Indian trails takes you through the forest. Gorge trail follows closest to the stream and runs over the parks 19 waterfalls by way of stone bridges and over 800 stone steps. Finally there is the Finger Lakes Trail an 800 mile system of outdoor bliss.

Number 1 – Zion. This national park can be found in Utah. It spans nearly 230 square miles and is filled with astounding formations of canyons as well as lush forests and stunning wildlife. There are approximately 290 species of birds, seventy-five mammals including 20 distinct species of bats and 32 unique breeds of reptiles as well as oddles and oodles of plants.

The park is so immense it’s best to navigate through the four life zones. There’s a desert portion, the riparian world the woodland spaces and the coniferous forest. There are mountains to climb, canyons to explore, buttes to rest on, rivers to ride and natural arches to take your breath away. Truly a sight to behold and an entire world of outdoor beauty to explore. Zion is a definite must-see!

How To Travel Vlog – 4 Steps For Beginners

Travel Vlog

How To Travel Vlog – 4 Steps For Beginners

How To Travel Vlog – 4 Steps For Beginners is a quick look of how to start a travel vlog. If you were ever interested to maybe start video blogging when you travel across the USA then I would like to share a video that I have discovered that is full of insight and tips to get you started.

If you have you ever gone on vacation with family or took a fun trip with friends, this video is for you.

Today’s tea time we’re going to tackle four steps to create your first travel vlog. Now I know what you’re thinking, TJ I’m not a travel vlogger. Okay I get it but what is travel vlogging? It’s to video log your experiences right? So think of it as creating video memories. Vlogging for me is capturing more flow moments that I can later look back on in life.

Everyone has those experiences that they’d love to put on video because it’s offers so much more than photos.

This video will teach you how to make your first travel vlog and I promise we’ll break it down and make it easy.

We’ll reveal what to film in your travel vlog and how to actually edit your first video. I don’t care how old or young you are or how technologically advanced or creative you are, the most important thing is that you give it a try and who knows you may fall in love with it.

Step One is to start recording with whatever you have. The first travel vlog I’ve ever filmed with, a trip to San Diego with my friends was filmed on my phone. No apps, No tripod. Just handheld. You can start vlogging with any device that records.  I bet you already have some clips on your phone or your camera that you combine into a video.

Step Two is very important in creating a travel vlog. It’s all about telling a story that has a beginning, middle and end. Now it sounds kind of complicated but it’s actually very simple. I’m talking about showing movements. Showing how you get from point A to point B. Whatever you’re doing that day or for that trip, let your viewers know what it was like getting there, not just what it was like once there.

You can help tell the story with footage of walking shots, of the scenery leaves, moving ocean waves. When it comes to creating a travel vlog, the journey itself can be so much more interesting than just a destination.

What are some ways to tell the story? Well you can just speak into the camera and say, “Right now we’re walking through a bushy area but you’re about to see the ocean backdrop.” Let your friends and family know what’s happening throughout the day how it’s going, where you are, or you can capture shots of different interesting things.

Your vlog can start with something like a welcome sign or the sunrise. The middle of the vlog can be a main event like for me it’s finally reaching the viewpoint of the hike. The ending of the video can show you packing up your bags or your airplane departing.

People love following a journey journey. Some of my most popular vlogs are travel day blogs and if you think about some of the most popular youtubers vlogs, most of the time they are going somewhere whether it’s by plane, cruise ship, car or train. These modes of transportation seem to be always fascinating to viewers.

Step Three. I know people love to make compilations of epic scenes from their trip and that’s awesome but what makes a travel vlog sparkle and grab a person’s attention is to get personal. You need to capture shots of you  laughing or doing activities allowing your personality show on video. This is your travel vlog.

Yes your vlog should be about a destination but it also should also showcase footage snippets of your family & friends laughing, enjoying and just soaking up the experience… even if it’s just a few seconds. This will dramatically make your vlog more interesting, more heartfelt and more meaningful.

A few years later you will look back on it and love every second of it

Step Four. Now that you have all the clips it’s time to head home and edit everything together.

I use an editing software called iMovie.

Whichever editing software you use, like me you start by putting all your video clips, like I took on my phone and put them in the editing timeline folder.  I’m just putting these clips in some kind of order to build out my story so the clips I show at the beginning of my hike should be in the front. When I reached my destination viewpoint, that should be in the middle and then you know the ending.

Let’s say you want to spice things up and add some text or even music. It’s very simple. All you have to do is click on the title then drag over whatever style you want.

Just have fun with your editing and when you want to export your production, there’s an icon in the top right corner that you can click on and then you export it.

I want you to know you can absolutely create your first travel video and it is not as intimidating as it looks. Of course your first video is not going to be perfect but you will feel. You will discover by creating it, there’s something truly magical and exciting in experiencing your travels this way.

Just know that creating a video memory of your travels can be both fun and very entertaining not only for yourself but with others too. Start enjoying the GoodLife Everyday yourself and vlog about it where ever your travels take you.

So now you are inspired to start blogging yourself but you have reservations starting because financial or time restraints. What if I told you a super secret many bloggers & vloggers use to eliminate both those worries.

It’s called GoodLife USA and not only can you save money with a monthly subscription, but you can earn substantial income as an IBO/Affiliate too!

Be sure to find out more about GoodLife USA on Travel USA Discounts where you can get deep discounts and savings on hotels, airfare, car rentals, restaurants, entertainment and shopping at any destination that you may select to visit any time of the year.

Be sure to use my reseller number Brian Hingst (189921) to join my team. After I see you as an IBO in my backoffice, we will be in contact with you to get your promotions started right away within our Travel USA Discounts website and social platforms.
