I’ve been to Las Vegas so many times on vacation it’s not even funny. But, when it comes down to seeing anything in the town, I’m really rather a novice to be quite honest. I can tell you exactly how to get to the bathroom in so many casinos, but I’ve never really done any […]
Roughing It
In high school my English Language & Literature teacher made me read Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn; I was none too impressed with her for this as I did not care for his writing style.

I passed through the area earlier in the year, but I just shrugged it off as a trucker stop and weekend getaway spot for Utahans interested in exercising a few of the […]
