    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. Here are a few more articles: Prospecting for Topaz (and Quartz) in Topaz Mountain  There are a few areas around the world where regular folk can…

    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…

    A Day Out at the Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo

    The Alabama Gulf Coast Zoo is a great place to bring kids for a fun day in Gulf Shores, Alabama.  Located off the island of Gulf Shores, the zoo re-opened with this location in 2020. If you’re a fan of Animal Planet, you may have heard of the show called “The Little Zoo That Could”. Gulf Shores Zoo is the setting of the show. It focuses on how the zoo is rebuilding after multiple hurricane evacuations in the mid-2000s. Here’s what to expect at the Alabama Gulf Shores Zoo. This post is part of our Gulf Shores and Alabama series. Here are a few more posts: How much is admission…

    What to do on the West Side of Puerto Rico

    The West Side of Puerto Rico is an up-and-coming tourist area. There are airports in Ponce and Aguadilla serving select areas from the mainland USA. With easier access to the west side of the island, tourists have been slowly getting to know there’s more to Puerto Rico than San Juan. Here’s what you can do on a day trip from San Juan to the west side of the island. Let this be a taste of what this side of the island has to offer. If you like it, you can always book your next stay back! This post is part of our Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands series. Here…
