Graz, Austria

Posted on January 24, 2012 by Admin of TBJ

The area of Europe known as Styria is rich with history and natural beauty; this are of the Austro-Hungarian empire and Holy Roman Empire once contained bits of Slovenia and Germany. Now an Austrian state, Styria and its capital, Graz, are wonderful places to stop by when poking around Europe. Graz is Austria’s second biggest [...]

Old Bale Grist Mill State Park, CA

Posted on November 30, 2010 by Admin of TBJ

If I told you that the Old Bale Grist Mill (or simply Old Bale Mill) State Historic Park was only 10 minutes away from Calistoga, CA, a laid-back but luxurious Napa Valley wine town, would you be more interested in going? And, you know, if you get tired after your visit, Calistoga has a lot [...]

Greenville, SC

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Admin of TBJ

The Greenville-Spartanburg area of SC is often seen as a nuisance en route to other, more exciting destinations, like Atlanta or, well, Florida. But Greenville is more than a mess off of I-85; it’s a neat little part of South Carolina’s Upstate, a fairly progressive, pretty area, with history, shopping, and a general laid-back Southern [...]

JR: Charleston, SC

Posted on September 14, 2010 by Admin of TBJ

Once upon a time there was a land near the Cooper River in South Carolina, where people wore seersucker and said hello to everyone as they walked down the street…. Wait, that’s Charleston, SC today; what it used to be was a trade area, a port, a Civil War battle area, and a cultural epicenter [...]

Ft. Fisher State Park, Kure Beach, NC

Posted on September 7, 2010 by Admin of TBJ

Ft. Fisher is one of the coolest spots on the North Carolina coastline because it’s a pet-friendly beach; want to see what your dog will do when confronted with seagulls, sand and surf? Take him/her here, just make sure to pick up after your mutt:) Ft. Fisher is surrounded by salt marshes and tidal creeks, [...]

JR: Estes Park, Colorado

Posted on August 31, 2010 by Admin of TBJ

Not long after I turned eighteen, I drove from Kentucky to California for the first of what would eventually become five consecutive summers of cross-country road trippin. I did this for (I was sure at the time) a number of good and varied reasons, but looking back, I mostly just took off for the hell [...]

40 Acre Rock Heritage Preserve, SC

Posted on August 31, 2010 by Admin of TBJ

Somewhere along the backroads in Lancaster County, South Carolina lies the mysterious 40 Acre Rock “Heritage Preserve.” It’s not clear if 40 Acre Rock is a park, or even really much of a designated place, and there isn’t much to offer you except the fact that “free” and “daylight hours” are the only real directive [...]
