Travel With Rain

Salem Oregon is not what I expected Based on the internet reputation it seems to have gotten I expected Salem to be a steaming pit of despair, but that's just not what I found. I am sure the negatives are there, but I found Salem to be clean, beautiful, and full of great things. Today we will visit the downtown, Hallie Ford Museum of Art, Willamette Heritage Center, Pioneer cemetery, Riverfront Park, and even go out to McMinnville to see the Evergreen Air and Space Museum. These are incredible stops in an equally incredible city. Come join us for the tour.

Monuments Valley is a place out of time. This is a sacred place, and it’s easy to see why. There’s just something that strikes you about this place, something that penetrates to your very core. It looks like it doesn’t belong to this world, or it couldn’t belong in this world. The dry stone reaches out of the desert toward the heavens for what human hands have strived for throughout time, but could never quite reach. You feel old here, ancient beyond the stars. It gives you a sense of smallness, like you’re a speck of dust in the vastness of space, and yet able to reach out and touch the furthest frontiers of what is known and unknown. It’s the backdrop against which the American hero rides off into the sunset, like the gateway of eternity.

Today we're in sin city, or Las Vegas Nevada. This is a strange place that shouldn't exist, and yet it does. Anything you can imagine is here. Las Vegas given nickname, sin city, gives it the image of a being a bad place, and perhaps it is for some, but I see Las Vegas as the freest city in America. Freedom comes with responsibility, and that couldn't be more true in Las Vegas. We're also stoping in to see the Valley of Fire state park. If fire could be frozen and turned to stone, I imagine this is what it would look like. It's a harsh environment, but incredibly beautiful at the same time. Valley of Fire state park is incredible to see. The final stop on this visit is the town of St Thomas, Nevada. The town today only exists as ruins after spending so long at the bottom of Lake Meade. Due to the extremely low water level in the lake at the time of recording this it was possible to go see this unique ghost town. I hope you enjoy the visit!

Roswell New Mexico has become something of a Mecca for everything paranormal over the last several decades. All of this due to an alleged flying saucer crash back in 1947. We will explore that aspect of Roswell New Mexico, but at the same time get to know Roswell the plain old American town. Join us to visit the Roswell Museum, Chaves County Courthouse, the Roswell UFO Museum, and the Bottomless Lakes State Park. There's a lot to see, so let's get to it.

Today we are visiting Saint Joseph Missouri. Saint Joseph Missouri has come up many times in my favorite books by Mark Twain. Growing up in China, reading from Mark Twain's books, Saint Joseph Missouri was a far away and strange place to me. It is really amazing to be visiting the real place. Saint Joseph Missouri is a bit rough around the edges, but it still has a lot to offer. If you are a history buff then this place will likely be a thrill to visit. Everything from the Pony Express headquarters, to the house Jesse James lived and died in. I hope you will join us as we visit Saint Joseph Missouri.

Today we are visiting Bartlesville Oklahoma. Bartlesville Oklahoma is a small town with some big city features. I was surprised to find in Bartlesville what could be considered skyscrapers, and high rise apartment buildings. Today we will be visiting some of Bartlesville Oklahoma's past via several museums such as the Phillips Petroleum Company Museum, the Union Depot, and the Frank Phillips home. Join us for a bit of a visit and tour of Bartlesville Oklahoma.

Today we are visiting Guthrie, Oklahoma. Today Guthrie, Oklahoma is a quiet midwestern town, the perfect example of small town America, but there is more here than you might expect. Guthrie, Oklahoma was once the capital of the state of Oklahoma. Guthrie, Oklahoma's historic center is also a national historic landmark, featuring one of the largest collections of victorian architecture in the country. Guthrie, OK also has some outlaw history, having once been on the frontier. Come join us as we see what Guthrie, Oklahoma has to offer.

#travel #roadtrip #travelvlog Okemah Oklahoma is a dusty prairie town worth making a stop, if for nothing else than to get some good tacos. Today we are checking out the hometown of Woody Guthrie, the man who gave us the song "This Land is Your Land" among others. There is a great museum, and a lot of history here.

#roadtrip #travel #oklahoma Sould you visit Muskogee? I would have to say the answer to that question is yes. It is more than the lyric to a country song, and has a lot of history to offer. Get ready for a quick stop in Muskogee.

#travel #travelvlog #roadtrip What's up with Meridian Mississippi? Mississippi has gotten a reputation for poverty over the years, but this place seems to be a hidden gem among the struggling communities of the state. We were pleasantly surprised by the influence this town has had on culture and history. Join us for a look around.

The road has a way of taking you. You set off toward a destination, but as you slow down to take in what lies along the way, you realize that every little town and village has something incredible to offer. I have loved travel since I was twelve years old. I have never forgotten the wonder of jumping on the train to visit my mother, and hearing new stories from passengers getting on at each stop along the way. Or seeing villages and cities go past the window, and wondering if things are very different from my own hometown. Since those days I have traveled a lot, and have always been amazed at how much we all have in common, and have learned to treasure the things that set each place apart. Every place has a story, and its being added to all the time. I have set out on the road to see if I can get a small piece of that story. I hope you will join us as we make our way to each incredible destination, both known and unknown. Who knows where the road will take us. As I become part of your story and you become part of my story, it becomes our story.

#roadtrip #travel #Maryland Today we are visiting Hagerstown, MD and Harpers Ferry, WV. Hagerstown proved to be much more than I expected. Be sure to join us for the experience.

今天我們將參觀西弗吉尼亞州的小鎮Logan,Logan是位於Logan縣的一個小鎮，人口接近2000人。 這座小鎮在20世紀40年代的時候非常繁榮，當時大約有5000人居住在這裡，在街上你可以看到許多老的建築，這些建築是在第二次世界大戰前建造的。 Logan見證了歷史上發生過的很多事件。其中最為有名的是在1921年，它處於煤炭戰爭的中心。就在這裡發射了100多萬子彈，最終軍隊介入，結束了衝突，。當時爭議的是關於該地區煤炭業務的工會化。 現在讓我們在這家叫Hot Cup的咖啡館喝杯咖啡休息一下。這個隱藏神秘的咖啡館裡面佈滿了各種電影紀念品，讓你在喝你，最喜歡的咖啡飲料時有一種溫馨的氛圍。 雖然我們無法看到這個小鎮當年的輝煌時刻，但是周圍還是可以看到很多不同的店面。在鎮中心漫步，你會發現這座小鎮仍然充滿生命力。 現在我們開車出城去chief logan州立公園，距離小鎮大概4英里左右。 這座州立公園為任何想要尋找美麗風景的朋友提供了很多便利，在這裡你不僅可以看到很多自然美景，還可以和家人安安靜靜的在大自然中享受美好時光。 我們發現了這個寧靜的魚塘。即使你對捕魚不感興趣，這也是一個可以坐下來思考生活的好地方。 當然別忘了餵一下河裡的小鴨子。 公園裡還有一個很棒的遊客中心。讓我們一起開車過去看看。 在外面你會發現一些有趣的東西，包括這台c/o鐵路的舊火車引擎。 這座紀念碑是為了紀念多年來死於事故的，煤礦工人。願他們安息。 還有一個舊鐘，曾經，掛在該地區的一個舊法院裡。 當然還有印第安人logan酋長的雕像。這個公園是以他的名字命名的。 現在讓我們進去，看看博物館和禮品店。 如果你想買一些西弗吉尼亞州的紀念品，這個禮品店不僅有該公園特有的一些禮品，還有很多該州的特色產品。 看看這些很棒的西弗吉尼亞玻璃製品。你知道西弗吉尼亞曾經是一個主要的玻璃製品中心嗎？ 現在讓我們看看博物館裡陳列的展品。 在前面，你會看到展示的是紀念所有軍隊服役過的西弗吉尼亞人。 在這裡我們可以看到很多精美的玻璃製品。 這裡展示的是一家老商店，陳列了很多早期的商品。 展出的還有一些當地的藝術品，這個讓我想起了一隻貓頭鷹。 曾經，火車在西弗吉尼亞州扮演著非常重要的角色，即使是今天，在某種程度上仍然如此。 這是我們看到停在外面的火車模型，還有一些印第安人的文物。 看著這輛篷車。我試著想像著當時的很多美國人橫穿西部的情景。 這裡還陳列著一些舊的農業設備。 總而言之，這是一個很棒的博物館，可以免費參觀。 現在讓我們回到城裡看看Logan這些年來的一些變化。 不幸的是，人口的不斷下降讓這裡的經濟狀況變得艱難，許多居民都在苦苦掙扎。 人口下降的另一個問題是這些被遺棄的房子。由於沒有居民的照料，許多房屋已經嚴重失修。 還有一些被燒毀和坍塌的房屋。 儘管困難重重，這個小鎮仍然對未來充滿希望。 如果你發現自己經過Logan，一定要停下來看看。這個城市的居民會很高興你選擇來這裡參觀。
