Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
It has been a long time since I’ve done a Close to Home post where I talk about the importance of exploring places near to where you live that are often over looked because they are just in your backyard. We went on a ghost tour of the Fort Worth Stockyards. This tour is run
I really wanted this week’s post to be about the beautiful trails we rode in Utah. But in light of resent events, I thought a look at history was a better use of my time. Here are some sights related to the events of WWII that I think are particularly meaningful now. US History: Amache
