Tinkertown Museum :: Sandia Park, New Mexico

If you have ever spent a Saturday morning watching an Antiques Road Show marathon then you will be familiar with folk art and its value; both intrinsically and as part of Americana. While the importance of folk art is often discussed, rarely is it celebrated in the United States, and even less frequently is it displayed publically. The Tinkertown Museum in Sandia Park, New Mexico sought to change all that. This 22 room art extravaganza is located just north of Albuquerque and is definitely one of the most underrated museums in the United States.

Bronx Zoo :: Bronx, New York

The Bronx Zoo in New York allows you to travel inside the world of other countries without having to actually visit them. Explore Africa’s savannah where the grasses are tall, the trees are few and in between and the wildlife is plentiful by visiting the African Plains exhibit. Investigate Jungle World and discover some of Asia’s beautiful habitats along with seeing the creatures that reside within the Jungle, in mangroves, and on the beaches of Asia. Discover the majestic mountains of Nepal by seeking out the Himalayan Highlands exhibit, where you get to travel narrow uphill paths which are surrounded by wild magnolias, bamboo, groves of fir and birch, paperback maples, and other Asian plants and trees. Made up of 265 acres, the Bronx Zoo is the largest urban zoo in the United States and is home to over 4,000 animals. Many of the animals that can be found at the Bronx Zoo are either having their population threatened or are endangered altogether.

Hole N” The Rock :: Moab, Utah

Hole N” The Rock :: Moab, Utah

Many consider southeast Utah as a less of a destination and more of a place you have to drive through to get to where you really want to go. Virtually treeless, this barren landscape is little more than rocks and shrubbery. It is one of these rocks, however, that has drawn a lot of attention. Out in Moab, Utah someone put a hole in a rock; a rather big hole in fact. Initially this area was home to migrant miner families who often camped out under the stars. One of these miners decided to make his family a little more comfortable by carving out a small area of the red sandstone for a more stable shelter. What makes it interesting is that the carving did not stop for over two decades. When Albert and Gladys Christensen were done with the place, over 50,000 cubic feet of stone was excavated leaving a 5,000 square foot, 14 room house smack dab in the middle of a mini mountain. Welcome my friends to “Hole N” The Rock”!
