    Gem Mining and Things to Do in Juab County, Utah

    Juab County is one of the lesser-known counties to visit in Utah. The county is close enough to Salt Lake City to warrant a long and completely packed day trip. The county extends to the Nevada border and is off-the-beaten-path. I recently had a chance to visit Juab County in Utah, and it was a spectacular trip. Here’s where you can mine for gems and other things to do in Juab County, Utah.  This post is part of our Utah and WITS Travel Series.

    4 Things to Do Near San Francisco Zoo (A Guide)

    The Lakeshore Neighborhood Guide is one of the smallest guides we’ll do for the San Francisco area. The Lakeshore Neighborhood (otherwise known as Outer Sunset) of San Francisco is at least an hour away by public transportation from the downtown area. It’s mostly residential, and because it is on the outskirts of the big city, the sights are less crowded on weekdays. Here are 4 things to do near the San Francisco Zoo. This is a part of our San Francisco Bay Area series. Here are a few related posts: San Francisco Zoo and Gardens Address: Sloat Blvd &, Upper Great Hwy, San Francisco, CA 94132Hours: Open Daily from 10…
