You may be athletic, ran multiple marathons, a gym freak or may be in great shape but remember this, altitude sickness is a bitch. There is no worse feeling than grasping for air to breathe. The challenges were certainly there. I have hiked a lot of mountains, camped out in the wild but never at such […]
Clearly this is the most popular topic of the month so far. Let me put a nail in the coffin of all believers who think that the world will end on December 21, 2012. Don’t get me wrong; the world WILL end someday but not Dec 21, 2012. My friend Petee was so worried about […]
By Pete Dombrosky I consider myself a pretty patriotic person, like many Americans do. So naturally, I consider the 4th of July one of my favorite holidays.

Last weekend, I took a trip down south to Atlanta to visit a good awesome friend of mine. It was a wonderful experience to be back in the south after my 2 year stint at Kentucky. My first impression about Atlanta was it was beautiful. For some reason, I thought it was an OK place […]
In 2009, I took a trip to Alaska for about 3 weeks. I had very little idea what I was going to do there and rented a car for the entire time I was there. One thing about alaska is that it is an extremely large state, traveling from one corner to another takes about […]
Every year, I make it a point to visit at least one national park in America, not because they are closer and cheaper, but because they are way beautiful than people give them credit for. Ease of accessibility, sheer natural beauty, more secluded backcountry camping spots, diversity in wildlife, gorgeous hiking trails and breathtaking scenery are […]
The other day, I was talking to my friend Jill and she told me that Moon has crazy effect on people. She told me criminals commit lots of crimes, a lot of women give birth during full moon, it affects menstrual cycles and even large earthquakes are caused due to full moon.
