This is a bit of an unusual location and blog post for me, as most of my adventures are at National Parks, hiking trips, or various other adventures. Sometimes it is equally important to look at other places that you may not have considered. A while back in November a friend from Twitter and I had some discussions regarding the Navajo Indian Code Talkers of World War II. Additional research
I take a lot of road trips with WhereJoeGoes.com, and even previous to starting my website I travelled extensively for both business and leisure. Throughout my time traveling I have tried a number of items designed for road trips, etc. that worked extremely well. I have also tried a number of things that either failed or were not useful at all. Below is my top 5 list of road trip
In August 2019 I embarked on a fairly lengthy road trip of almost 2500 miles. During the time driving to my destination, I am reminded of the simple brilliance of the United States Interstate Highway System. Many other countries have similar highway systems, but our system is unique because of its rich, varied history in not only commerce but also American culture. In several previous trips, I have been able to travel
Growing up around nature and becoming a nature photographer, you are around life and death in nature frequently. Many times we view this cycle as ‘mother nature’ or just simply nature taking its part. Most of the time we are not moved by death in nature in the same way that we are moved by death in our ‘human’ lives like the loss of a loved one. Uniquely however, we

What comes to mind when you think of the desert? Do you immediately think of endless, windy sand dunes? Do you think of a hot, arid place where life struggles to hang on because of harsh elements?

Visiting Disneyworld Resort in Orlando, Florida is a magical family vacation for many. No doubt that while there are many things to plan for and options to consider, how busy the park is on any given day could be a big determining factor as to whether you enjoy your time at the Magic Kingdom. With a yearly attendance of well over 20 million, you can be assured that even on
In this post I want to review a great service that I use often. As a hiker I like to collect patches for the trails that I have hiked or collect various patches for various reasons and put them on my day pack or my larger 65L pack. When the patches that I want are not available I order custom patches. Finding a reliable source to do small order count
People that I meet consistently ask me “Why do you travel so much?” While traveling is not my full-time occupation, I try to visit new places as much as possible whether that is a new place across town from where I live, or a new country thousands of miles away. The primary thing that drives me to travel is that I am a naturally curious person. I simply enjoy seeing
