The one star reviews
Taken directly from Indyprints blog and.definitely not your typical Visit Scotland travel campaign.A Scottish creator is turning “ludicrous” one-star reviews of Scottish attractions and monuments into art as part of a new collection.Stewart Bremner, who runs the Indy Prints online store, was inspired to highlight Scotland’s beauty by poking fun at it after a “ridiculous” review of Ben Nevis went viral earlier this year.The Tripadvisor review, titled “Very Steep and Too High”, caught the attention of social media after its author complained about the lack of a pub, restaurant or toilets at the peak.

If we could  "see oursels as ithers see us…"  well thanks to the wonders of the interwebs we can! Clearly there's nothing more life-affirming than checking out how utterly misunderstood – or sometimes too well understood – some of our loveliest places have been. With some choices quotes from one-star reviews, combined with some of my most popular landscapes, a new wee series is born!
Tumblr media
Ben Lomond is one of the closest Munros to the Central Belt and a lovely day of hillwalking. Oddly enough, it also "feels never ending and constantly ascending." I want to go there now!
Tumblr media
Not everyone sees the beauty of Scotland in the same way. There's even some who think the lovely bits are a little, well, crap. Take Ardnamurchan. Apparently even though it has lovely views, it has nothing else.
Tumblr media
On the Kincardineshire coast, Dunnottar Castle is a wonderful gem, even though it somehow is little more than a ruin. Um, well, aye. That's quality one-star reviewing right there!
Tumblr media
Rain in Glen Coe is, amazingly, news to some. So sad. I love the majesty of Glen Coe in any weather. Mind, if it was the size of the Grand Canyon, that really would be something.

A lot of folk have been taken in by the hipster hype lavished on Leith. And then they come to visit…

Are you a history buff? Then visit Edinburgh Castle. Everyone else might want to give it a body swerve, though.

Aww, the poor not-so-wee Bass Rock. Its lighthouse is nothing special and the rock? Well, it's barren. Who knew?!
Tumblr media
To be honest, I think this review of the world-famous, heritage-listed Forth Bridge is quite wrong. You can get to and from Fife. Honestly

.…and finally, I think we can all agree that there absolutely are too many bogs in Scotland. Well done to this visitor to Skye's wondrous Quiraing for writing what we all think.
And he added today.....
Today I've added four new one-star reviewed locations in Scotland, just tae spread the misunderstanding around a little! The new ones are:
The broken walls of Urquhart Castle
The random objects of Kelvingrove
The Callanish Stones have no atmosphere
The Glenfinnan Viaduct is ugly
The collection is now called
Overrated Scotland
, which i think better describes what its about. In addition, I've collected twelve of the fourteen in a 2021 calendar, so you can laugh at the badness all year long!

This is an exemplary example of what happens when conflicting data is found in archaeology. No absurd or outlandish hypotheses, no close-mindedness, and no unwillingness to reassess initial conclusions if new evidence is found.
It started with a hiker who plucked two curious objects from a bit of scattered trash, a discovery that launched months of speculation and investigation.
Each wafer-thin bit of metal — one about the size of a quarter, the other a dime — bore strange inscriptions on either side, worn nearly smooth over time. The hiker tucked the coins into his pocket, promising himself to do a little detective work when he returned home.  
Today, the mystery of how two ancient Spanish coins wound up near Lake Powell isn’t solved. Though it is a bit clearer.
Late last summer, a Colorado man hiking in the Halls Crossing area on the Utah side of Lake Powell noted something odd at his feet — two small, copper-colored discs that clearly were not part of the natural landscape.
Tumblr media
The coin on the left is a 16 marevedis, minted between 1662 and 1662. The other is a dinero, dating to the reign of Alfonso X (1252-1284). (Photo: National Park Service, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area)
He picked them up for a closer look. Coins, perhaps. And though their markings were barely distinguishable, two things were clear: They were very old, and they were not American.
The hiker, who prefers to remain anonymous, returned home with the objects and did some sleuthing. After researching them online, he reached out to the National Park Service to report his find: two Spanish coins that appeared to be centuries old.
Enter Brian Harmon, archaeologist for Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, in which the coins were found. His history-focused mind began to imagine ways such coins could have wound up in a now-dry part of a canyon that at one time was below the surface of Lake Powell.
But his first question was one of authenticity.
“Where he found them, the way he found them, I was skeptical at first,” Harmon said. Ancient coins don't suddenly appear in places they don't belong, especially in plain sight. “They’re just so unusual.”
Tumblr media

The more he studied the detailed images of the coins, the more excited he became because there were only a handful of ways such coins could have found their way to his archaeological backyard.
Harmon’s initial thought was that they were brought by Spanish explorers. However, the coins — one believed to be from the 13th century, the other from the mid-1600s — predated by decades the first known Spanish presence in the area (the Dominguez and Escalante Expedition of 1776).
Harmon’s second theory, which he found much more tantalizing, was that the coins somehow found their way to Native Americans, who used them in trade.
“I really tried to keep my mind open,” Harmon said. “I was very excited. These aren’t the kinds of things I come across in the normal course of my job.”
Not long after Harmon finally got his hands on the coins in February, he reached out to experts to authenticate the find. Thanks to numismatists in Spain, Harmon learned that the larger coin is a 16 maravedis, dating to 1662-1664. The smaller coin is a dinero from the reign of Alfonso X, dated between 1252 and 1284.
In the meantime, Harmon sent colleagues to the spot where the hiker reported finding the coins. He told them to look for spots from which the coins may have eroded. Based on their ages, the coins should have been buried by layers of sediment. Perhaps they emerged from an alcove, or some other natural deposit.
“In archaeology, what the object is is just as important as where it is found,” Harmon said. “The location can tell us so much. Without that context, it’s almost impossible.”
The reports back from the site were disappointing. There were no clear points of origin, just bits of scattered trash, most likely from passing houseboats.
Then there was the coins' disparate dates. Harmon couldn’t bring himself to believe coins minted centuries apart could have wound up in the same hands, be they Spanish explorers or Native Americans.
That steered Harmon toward his most disappointing, and now likely, theory — that the coins were part of a modern collection that somehow wound up near Halls Crossing.
They most likely were dropped in the area anywhere from a few years to a few decades ago, Harmon said. While it makes little sense for someone to have brought the two coins to Lake Powell, then lose them somehow, it's the most plausible explanation, and one the archaeologist is sticking to until evidence is found to the contrary.
And unless someone comes forward to claim ownership, the coins will continue to sit in a climate-controlled environment in Page, where Glen Canyon National Recreation Area staff are based.
But Harmon is not declaring the mystery solved. He's not ready to completely rule out that the coins somehow came to the New World by the 17th or 18th centuries, perhaps eventually into the hands of Native Americans. It's an ongoing case, at least until someone steps forward with proof of ownership.
No one expects that to happen, given the coins' approximate valuation. Based on Google searches, similar Spanish coins in much better condition are worth no more than $50 or so.
Their value means nothing to Harmon.
“The true worth is discovery,” he said. “And this has been a fascinating story.”

Readers’ best summer vacation photos
Thanks for the misery, readers.
We mean that in the nicest way possible.
We received more than 2,500 submissions for our annual Summer Vacation Photo issue. Photos are from those who do not make their living as professional photographers.
A group of photo, design, digital, social and word editors recently gathered to decide which ones would appear in print or online.
It’s fun looking at pictures from around the world — fun until someone gets hurt (or their feelings do). Then the party’s over, and it’s time for the hard decisions.
Everybody’s ox gets gored, which means each of us had favorites that didn’t make the final cut. There was no supreme dictator. Everybody had a say, which became a case study in how perceptions can vary.

Michele Castagnetti from Los Angeles took this photo at Rovinj, Croatia, on Aug. 15, with a Nikon Coolpix A900.

Steve Giffin, his wife and their teenage daughter were dead tired on June 22 after an overnight flight to Paris. Their hotel clerk prescribed a short walk near the Eiffel Tower. Bingo. “The energy and vibe around the tower really set a great mood for the rest of the trip,” Giffin wrote. 
(Steve Giffin)
23/39
On June 24, Randy Howard from San Dimas was on a photo tour in the Dolomites region of northern Italy. At the Giau Pass, he and a few others climbed about three-quarters of a mile to a vantage point. Then, Howard said, “The clouds started rolling in” and this scene materialized. He used a Canon 5D Mark III. 
(Randall R. Howard)
24/39
On June 29, Kathryn Keeney Jaeger from Pasadena and her family headed on their sport-fishing boat to the Two Harbors area of Catalina Island. While she and her 11-year-old son, Robert, were walking on shore, a breeze caught his towel. Jaeger captured the moment with her iPhone 7. Her fancy Nikon? On the boat.

Steve Fujinaka from Torrance spotted this polar bear on July 27 on a small-ship cruise. The bear spent about two hours romping near the ship as Fujinakasnapped away with his Nikon D850 camera with a 180-400 mm lens and 1.4x teleconverter. Fujinaka liked this image of the bear because of “how comfortable it was being around us,” he said.  
(Steve Fujinaka)
29/39
Major Cay in the Exuma Cays is known for its feral pigs that swim. Mike McDonnell from Newbury Park arrived by boat on June 17 and got this picture with his Sony a7R III. Hurricane Dorian mostly missed Major Cay on Sept. 1 when it roared into the Bahamas.  
(Mike McDonnell)
30/39
Marcio Romani and Clayton Mosher from Los Angeles were knocked out by the scenery at Savannah’s Wormsloe State Historic Site, an 18th century colonial estate with ruins, costumed interpreters and a nature trail. Appraising this watery scene on Aug. 31, the two came up with a plan: Romani would jump on the fallen tree, climb out over the water and strike a yoga pose. Mosher would snap the picture on the iPhone XR. But once Romani started climbing, “It was very wobbly, kind of dangerous.” So he just sat and looked into the distance. Mosher snapped. Nice.  
(Marcio Romani)
31/39
Josh Means from Corona del Mar, an 18-year-old student at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, was on a backpacking trip when he set up his Sony a7 III for a long night-sky exposure near Thousand Island Lake. The image, made June 30, gives us a big view of the Milky Way. 
(Josh Means)

On Aug. 11, Sally Raskoff from Woodland Hills stepped into Sainte-Chapelle, a 13th century chapel that was once home to kings and queens, and saw a picture-perfect view above. “It’s just magical,” she said. She used an iPhone 7 Plus. 
(Sally Raskoff)
38/39
Tina Studier from Manhattan Beach, her husband and two of their children spent two nights at Sossusvlei, including a June 18 stop at the Namib Desert’s much-admired Dune 45. She trained her Canon PowerShot SX40 HS on the slope while others climbed the hill. 
(Tina Studier)
39/39
Susan Gross from Santa Monica and her mother, Helen Gross, 87, on Sept. 3 finally got to a long-anticipated landmark: Niagara Falls. As they approached on foot from the Canadian side, Susan spotted the U.S. sightseeing boat Maid of the Mist and raised her iPhone 7.  
(Susan Gross)

Here’s what didn’t vary: the amazement onlookers expressed at your work.
Several non-Travel-section colleagues wandered by to see why we had hundreds of photos spread across tables and on the floor. When we told them we were evaluating reader photo submissions, they inevitably replied with an unenthusiastic “Oh.” Then they’d look at the talent on display and the second “Oh” would sound an octave higher, the way people react when they realize they have underestimated something remarkable.
Which describes what you’ll see here and in print.
You made these photos easy to love and, in doing so, made our jobs much more difficult. We’re not complaining, though. Instead we are reveling in a photographic journey around the world that has made us appreciate why we travel and why we love it so. Welcome aboard.

I follow you on Instagram and saw your trip to Utah it looks soooo pretty! Anyway you can blog about the travel or hotel and sight seeing details!?
hi - thank you! I can give you the details, of course ^.^
One of my best friends and I spent time between Kanab, Utah and Page, Arizona. We flew into Flagstaff Airport (Page airport is more expensive to fly into) It’s about a 2 hour drive from Flagstaff airport into Page, but it’s really scenic so it becomes a part of your trip! Definitely rent a car, it’s a must.
Sights to See:
Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon, Lone Rock, Grand Escalante, 
Long Canyon Horseback Ride Tour (found this online), Scenic View drives (there’s a bunch, I legit just typed it into google maps when we were in Page)
Wahweap Marina, Glen Canyon Dam
Hotel:
We stayed at Hampton Inn Suites near Lake Powell vs an air bnb, because:
1. Free Breakfast 
2. It was brand new - really nice and clean
3. Close to literally EVERYTHING
4. Cheaper 
but, there’s a lot of new hotels and resorts that are near that area so you have a lot to choose from. 
Hope this helps!

Nikki Lane y Mike & The Moonpies, primeras confirmaciones internacionales de Huercasa Country Festival 2020
Nikki Lane, Mike & The Moonpies, AllWoods y Riders of The Canyon son las primeras confirmaciones de Huercasa Country Festival 2020
La cantante de Nashville Nikki Lane y los texanos Mike & The Moonpies son las primeras confirmaciones internacionales de la séptima edición del Huercasa Country Festival, el evento más importante de música country y americana del país, que se celebrará del 10 al 12 de julio de 2020 en la localidad segoviana de Riaza.
youtube
A Nikki Lane y Mike & The Moonpies se suman otros dos grupos nacionales, AllWoods y Riders of The Canyon, el grupo formado por Joana Serrat, Marta Delmont, Roger Usart y Matthew McDaid, en un programa que será más amplio que en ediciones anteriores, con muchos nombres y sorpresas aún por desvelar.
Abonos ya disponibles para Huercasa Country Festival 2020
Coincidiendo con los primeros anuncios de artistas, Huercasa Country Festival ha puesto a la venta sus primeros abonos, con acceso para todo el fin de semana y al precio especial de 50 euros. El cupo de abonos es limitado y solo se pueden adquirir online, en eventbrite.com
youtube
Sobre Nikki Lane
Nikki Lane, tras su tercer álbum de estudio, “Highway Queen” (2017), se encuentra trabajando en el que será su cuarto disco, que saldrá al mercado a principios de 2020. Será el tercero con New West Records, donde nos mostrará todo lo que ha aprendido durante su estancia en Nashville, Tennessee… su hogar.
El sonido de Lane se caracteriza por la facilidad que tiene para mezclar diferentes estilos. Combina potentes letras con guitarras típicas del blues y el country pop de los años 60´s. La nueva música que prepara Nikki gustará tanto a los fanáticos de Lana Del Rey o Jenny Lewis como a los más “clásicos” fans de Neil Young o Tom Petty.
Conocemos mejor a Mike & The Moonpies
Mike & The Moonpies llegarán al Huercasa Country Festival también con nuevo disco, presentando ‘Cheap Silver and Solid Country Gold’, su sexto disco de estudio, grabado en los famosos estudios londinenses de Abbey Road, con la colaboración de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Londres. Es su disco más arriesgado, un álbum que diversifica las raíces de honky-tonk de la banda añadiendo abundantes cuerdas y arreglos orquestales.
Inspirado en parte por la clásica música countrypolitan de los 60’s y primeros 70’s, estas nuevas canciones encuentran al frontman de la banda, Mike Harmeier, destilando la delicadeza de crooners como Glen Campbell o Frank Sinatra, respaldado por una banda  de guerreros de la carretera, cada uno de los cuales juega un papel fundamental en la construcción de cada tema.
El resultado es un disco moderno, pero con todo lo que hace emocionante a la vieja música: historias agudas, interpretaciones honestas y dinámicas y la voluntad de caminar más allá de los caminos trillados.

Are you planning to thru-hike the John Muir Trail? “America’s Most Beautiful Trail” should be on every serious backpacker’s tick list. After hiking it in seven days, I became convinced that—while that was very hard—the traditional itinerary of spreading the roughly 221 miles out over three weeks or more has a serious flaw: With limited food-resupply options, you’ll carry a monster pack that may not only make you sore and uncomfortable, it could cause injuries that cut short your trip.
In this article, I lay out my ultralight strategy for thru-hiking the JMT in 10 to 11 days—and why you’d want to do it.
Over the years, I’ve evolved from being one of those traditional, heavy-pack backpackers to traveling as light as absolutely possible, and the John Muir Trail—definitely one of America’s 10 best backpacking trips—is perfect for an ultralight strategy because of its generally dry, late-summer weather, well-constructed footpath, and moderate grades. Fit hikers who arrive with their legs in trail condition can knock off 20 to 22 miles a day—spending about 10 hours a day on the trail (including breaks) and averaging 2.5 mph when walking, a reasonable pace for someone in good shape who’s walking with a light pack.

  At Trail Crest on Mount Whitney, on the John Muir Trail.
Season A JMT thru-hike can be done from July through September. But the best time for an ultralight thru-hike is mid-August to mid-September, when—usually—the mosquitoes have abated and rain is rare (allowing you to use a tarp instead of a tent), the high passes are snow-free, and mornings are cool.
  Want to hike the John Muir Trail? Click here for expert, detailed advice you won’t get elsewhere.
  The Itinerary Fastpacking the JMT isn’t just for the lunatic fringe—ultralight hiking was born here. Our group found seven days doable but extremely hard. More reasonable is 10 to 11 days, because fit hikers capable of averaging 20 to 22 miles a day can, with early-morning starts, still take a break in shade during the worst afternoon heat—and critically, not carry more than five days of food. Here’s how:
•    Hike north to south—from Yosemite Valley to Whitney Portal—to gradually acclimate to the highest elevations. •    Start early every day. Hike in the cool morning and evening hours, and rest during the afternoon heat. Knock off most of your day’s mileage by early afternoon. By going ultralight and not cooking, you’ll find that packing up camp takes just minutes. (See more about backpacking only with food that doesn’t require cooking in my article “Ultralight Backpacking’s Simple Equation: Less Weight = More Fun”) •    Plan fewer miles on days when your pack is heaviest, and more miles when you’re traveling lightest. •    Hiking southbound, the hardest and hottest climbs are to Mather Pass, Glen Pass, Forester Pass, and Trail Crest/Mt. Whitney. Try to do these in the morning.
Permit Get a permit for the entire JMT from the park or forest where you plan to start, either Yosemite National Park or the Inyo National Forest (see below). JMT permits are in great demand for dates in July, August, and September. To hike the JMT southbound, apply for a permit from Yosemite National Park exactly 24 weeks (168 days) in advance of the date you’d like to begin—for example, apply on Feb. 20 to start hiking Aug. 20. Increase your chances by applying for a range of start dates in Yosemite. Permits for hiking northbound, starting at Whitney Portal, are reserved through a lottery system at recreation.gov; apply online between Feb. 1 and March 15. Find more info at nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/jmtfaq.htm.

  On the John Muir Trail overlooking the Cathedral Range, Yosemite National Park.
Minimize Pack Weight With This Resupply Plan
•    From Yosemite Valley, carry only light hydration packs for the 22 miles to Tuolumne Meadows. Have your backpacking gear and food waiting there. (Convince a friend to meet you there with your group’s gear and food.) Eat a big meal in the Tuolumne café. •    At Red’s Meadow (redsmeadow.com), a short hike off the JMT, resupply for the next 50 trail miles either by having someone meet you there, or for a fee, mailing or delivering a package in advance. Eat a big meal at the Mule House Café. •    Resupply a final time at Muir Trail Ranch (muirtrailranch.com/backpacker), about a mile off the JMT near the trail’s midpoint. Ship non-perishable food weeks in advance; a fee is charged.

It’s not for everyone, of course. Many hikers allot three weeks, a pace of about 10 miles a day. Maybe the smartest strategy for you would be something in between—say, 15 days averaging 14.7 miles per day. Experiment with backpacking longer days and traveling light on shorter trips before your JMT thru-hike.
Still, traditional backpackers can draw benefits from adopting strategies employed by fastpackers—including going north to south on the JMT. Besides giving you time to acclimate to the higher elevations of the southern Sierra, it gives you two resupply opportunities (Tuolumne Meadows and Red’s Meadow) to keep your pack lighter while building up your trail legs. And it gives you half the trip—prior to reaching the last resupply opp, Muir Trail Ranch—to gauge your food needs and daily mileage capabilities.
By that time, you may find you’re walking farther every day than you anticipated and possibly eating (slightly) less than planned. Both realizations are common among people doing their first long trail. Backpackers are as likely to overestimate food as underestimate it. Plus, except for the high passes, the JMT is not, step for step, as difficult as hiking in other parts of the country. Give serious thought to food supply and daily mileage, because leaving Muir Trail Ranch with 10 or 11 days worth of food will add about 20 pounds to your pack as you head for the JMT’s highest passes.
  Plan your next great backpacking adventure in Yosemite and other flagship parks using my expert e-guides.
  Dawn at Wanda Lake on the John Muir Trail in Kings Canyon National Park.
You might even plan to hike shorter days for the trail’s northern half, as you’re getting stronger as well as to linger in places, but by the time you reach Muir Trail Ranch, be ready for longer days in order to reduce your pack’s food weight for the southern half of the JMT.
And that, really, is the whole point. Carrying too much weight on your back only makes a trip more difficult, and can make it miserable. You spend too much time thinking about when you can take a break from carrying your pack instead of thinking about where you are. That’s not why you’re out there. Discard any misguided notion that you’ll “miss too much” by hiking bigger days—you’re still walking, after all, and only incrementally faster than you would walk with a heavier pack. You’re just walking for more hours each day—and more comfortably.
Let’s face it: The real reason you’d hike slower with a heavier pack is that it’s crushing weight is slowing you down—not because walking at that pace somehow gives you a higher-quality experience.

We absolely love exploring Utah. Part of the reason we moved back to Las Vegas this year is because it makes Sohern Utah so accessible. Did you know Zion is only 2.5 hours away from Vegas?
Utah has 5 major National Parks and many other National Park Units. Although we’ve been to all of the Mighty 5, there’s so much we still have yet to see. You could probably spend a lifetime exploring the parks, and we’re excited for this next season of road trips!

Zion National Park has amazing hikes taking you to the top of massive sandstone cliffs, along weeping walls, and through narrow slot canyons. There’s a wide range of difficulties when here. Even though you get to see a lot of highlights from the scenic drive, the most beaiful parts have to be explored on foot. 
Zion has become incredibly popular and since everyone goes to the valley, it gets ridiculously crowded. Consider going during the week, doing a sunrise or night hike, or checking o some lesser trafficked trails like Observation Point or Hidden Canyon Trail. The Narrows top down hike also has no people on the first day and then you meet up with the day hikers on your second day.

Bryce Canyon is made up of multiple amphitheaters and bowls carved into the edge of a high plateau. Amidst these amphitheaters are irregular rock columns called hoodoos.
Bryce has the largest concentration of hoodoos found anywhere on Earth. This park is relatively small and you can cover a lot in a day. If you only have a few hours, you can do the short scenic drive and pull o to the different viewpoints. Otherwise, you can hike to see the hoodoos up close.
If you’ve already been, try visiting closer to winter to see the hoodoos covered in snow.

We’ve only explored a small portion of Capitol Reef and definitely want to go back. This national park has 140 miles of roads, 150 miles of trails, and even an orchard where you can pick and eat fruits in season.
There’s a lot of distance to cover througho the park so come with a full tank of gas.

The park has 4 distinct sections: Island in the Sky, The Needles, The Maze, and Horseshoe Canyon. Island in the sky is the most accessible and what most people see, and the Maze is the most remote area.
We didn’t have the best weather when we visited and had fog cover most of the landscape when we arrived, so we’ll need to make a trip back soon.
Some of the best spots in the park require off-road driving.

Arches National park has over 2,000 natural stones . You can see the best from the scenic drive or from short hikes, b those who want to get o for longer hikes have plenty of options too. Our favorite hike so far was the Devil’s Garden hike; it had so many to see along the way. It might seem like a long hike, b we saw some retired hikers that smoked us on the trail.

A hiker discovered two coins in the Utah desert — including one that appears to have been minted in Spain 200 years before Columbus set sail for the New World, Defence Online
Tumblr media

In September, a hiker discovered two aged cash in Utah’s Glen Canyon Nationwide Recreation space. The unnamed hiker believes that they are Spanish cash hundreds of several years previous.

In September, a hiker learned two old cash in Utah’s Glen Canyon National Recreation spot.
The unnamed hiker did some study and believes the coins are Spanish of origin, with 1 dating back to all around 200 several years before Columbus established foot in the New Planet.
The hiker turned the cash more than to the Nationwide Park Services, which is investigating whether or not they are real and, if so, how they finished up in Utah.
Stop by INSIDER’s homepage for much more stories.
If Christopher Columbus identified the New World in 1492, then how did a Spanish coin minted 200 decades right before that finish up in Utah?
Which is the concern Nationwide Park Assistance officials are hoping to answer next the the latest discovery of two mysterious coins around Lake Powell.
KSL reports that in September, a hiker was going for walks in close proximity to the Halls Crossing Marina when he arrived across two round parts of metal that he believed were trash, just one about the sizing of a quarter and the other more compact than a dime. But when he took a closer search at them later, he arrived to the conclusion that what he really picked up have been two Spanish cash hundreds of several years old.
The hiker started investigating coins on-line and suggests the greater one matches Spanish cash minted in the 1660s when the smaller sized just one appears like it dates back to the 1290s.

Conflicting timelines
It is the scaled-down coin that provides mystery to the discovery, considering the fact that it predates Columbus placing sail for the New Environment by 200 years.
It’s also curious that Spanish coins would end up in Utah, because subsequent Spanish exploratory trips by the American West didn’t come incredibly close to the location where the coin was located.
Browse a lot more: A loved ones located $1 million really worth of Spanish coins off the coastline of Florida
According to Countrywide Parks Traveler, Spanish conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado was considered to be the initial to travel near Utah in his search for the legendary “Seven Cities of Gold” in the early 1540s. But the closest that team obtained was to the Hopi villages in northern Arizona, far more than 100 miles south.
The hiker returned the cash to the Countrywide Parks Support just after the discovery, and officials are now searching for authorities to help them determine out if the coins are without a doubt true and, if so, how they ended up in the park. Mary Plumb, community affairs professional with the Glen Canyon Nationwide Recreation Region, informed INSIDER on Thursday they’ve uncovered an professional to seem at the much larger of the two coins so considerably, but not the smaller coin.

The individual who uncovered the coins thinks the just one on the still left was minted in the 1660s and the a single on the right in the 1290s.

A number of theories
NPS archaeologist Brian Harmon informed Nationwide Parks Traveler there are a few distinctive prospects they are seeking into. People options involve eventualities in which the cash are true, and ended up possibly introduced to the area by early Spanish explorers or settlers, or finished up in Utah soon after remaining traded.
Yet another solution is that they are actual, but were being unintentionally shed at the lake, maybe by a coin collector. At last, there’s the chance the coins are counterfeit or reproductions.
While he admits he’s not an specialist on cash, he thinks they are “legit” and that they finished up in Utah “through non-nefarious implies.”
Harmon explained the most interesting attainable situation is that the cash were being introduced to Utah by an early Spanish settler or explorer, given that it would signify that there was a Spanish existence in the area considerably before than initially considered.
Park officers saved the discovery magic formula until just lately, and have not unveiled the precise spot exactly where the cash have been uncovered. They also caution that the use of steel detectors in nationwide parks is unlawful, according to KSL.
Harmon advised National Parks Traveler he’s scheduling a trip to wherever the coins were discovered to seem for added cash and clues as to how the 1st two obtained there.

The Motley Fool owns shares of Michael Kors Holdings
What brand PSU do you have? Have a very similar setup using 350W cheap eBay PSU's. I tried 2 different PSU's while monitoring PSU every thing within the tolerances. In the end even though the eBay PSU's were reading good when I purchased a name brand 350W PSU from Best Buy it worked like a charm.. Anderson, Eds. A. Sabin, N. On Wednesday (March 5), federal flood control managers released millions of cubic feet of water from Glen Canyon Dam to help restore the Big Ditch sandy beaches and pools for endangered species and campers. To weigh in on the debate. Here president and founder George Wendt and veteran river guide Michael Ghiglieri put the issue into context for adventure ers. Designed to show that technology and social connectivity should be seamless, the MICHAEL KORS ACCESS line, which also includes activity trackers, proves that access can be both glamorous and effortless. Customers love fashion and they plugged in 24/7, says Michael Kors. Think they appreciate having social connectivity and health and fitness tracking all within a great looking accessory.The Michael Kors customer lives a busy, fast paced life and the MICHAEL KORS ACCESS collection will let him or her stay connected. Best Buy alone spiked 13% after reporting stronger profit growth than expected thanks in part to solid demand for big screen TVs.Tech stocks like Apple, Facebook and Amazon also rallied, carrying the Nasdaq nearly 3% higher at one point. That would have been its biggest gain since 2011. Instead, the Nasdaq finished slightly in the red.Even before the late day slide, market experts were warning that Tuesday early rebound didn mean everything is back to normal in the global financial markets just because China cut interest rates.Watch for more dramatic market moves as new clues emerge about whether the financial turmoil causes the Federal Reserve to delay its plans to raise interest rates in September until later in the year or even 2016.. 20. Investor Relations: Consider how many earnings webcasts are out there. Consider how much more cost effective a podcast can be. Gulfstreams lined the local runway.A student at the private and prestigious Danube International School, Habsburg is heir to what was one of the most important and longest reigning royal houses in Europe. He is the great grandson of Charles I, the last ruler of the Austro Hungarian empire.But he's not the richest kid on the track. That honour goes to 16 year old Lance Stroll from Quebec, who sits in pole position in the Toyota Racing Series. ''We're in a pub in Dublin, where there's a bit of a singalong. Leopold Bloom is writing a letter to his mistress.'' Example of her tweets? ''First night when first I saw her at Dillon's. Yellow, black lace she wore. Habermas' bourgeois public sphere where individuals in the 1700's convened in the town square to debate and hold governments accountable (ye olde fourth estate), was a location only open to men. That is, men with money and only men with money and education an inherently exclusive club. Twitter is not inherently open, as it requires contributors to have basic access to technology, an e mail address, computer literacy and hence, some degree of money and education. Something else I can't see: the return of stirrup pants. Stein Mart, which got its start in my very own hometown of Greenville, Miss., had a huge ad promoting the stirrup as one of this season's trends. I get nauseated every time the ad flashes to the fore of my mind. (tags: Coach Outlet Online,Coach Outlet Clearance)

Gli Stati Uniti: escursioni attraverso i suoi Canyon e le sue valli!
Oggigiorno, sempre più viaggiatori scelgono sia il turismo d’avventura che l’eco-turismo. Gli Stati Uniti sono una delle mete preferite per questa tendenza e questo è in gran parte dovuto alle grandi dimensioni del paese.
Tra imponenti montagne, boschi e riserve forestali, fiumi maestosi e laghi impressionanti, gli Stati uniti si distinguono per una grande varietà naturale.
Un’altra delle principali attrazioni degli Stati Uniti sono le sue vaste valli e gli impressionanti canyon, caratterizzati da climi aridi e semi-aridi, che si trovano in stati come Arizona e Utah.
Se sei appassionato di paesaggi, natura e turismo d’avventura, e hai deciso di viaggiare nella terra dello zio Sam, ecco alcune informazioni preziose che ti saranno utili prima di accingerti al viaggio.
Viaggiare negli Stati Uniti è sempre più facile. Se vivi in uno dei paesi europei come l’Italia, devi solo fare domanda per un permesso Esta online prima del viaggio.
L’autorizzazione ESTA è fondamentalmente un sistema elettronico che permette l’ingresso negli Stati Uniti. Per questo motivo, richiedere il permesso ESTA non è una perdita di tempo, come molte persone potrebbero pensare.
Due dei migliori itinerari che puoi scegliere in un viaggio negli Stati Uniti, sono il tour attraverso il Grand Canyon nel parco nazionale del Colorado, e il tour guidato nella Monument Valley, entrambi in Arizona.
ll Grand Canyon nel parco nazionale del Colorado, in Arizona
Il Grand Canyon è una delle formazioni geologiche stratigrafiche più famose del mondo. Situato nell’Arizona nord-orientale, questa meraviglia naturale offre viste impressionanti, attività a piedi, e turismo d’avventura.
Il Grand Canyon è costituito da numerose formazioni o canyon, che hanno nomi diversi ma che messi assieme formano questo immenso gioiello della natura.
Il Glen Canyon si trova nel lato settentrionale del complesso. Si estende attorno al lago Powell nello stato dello Utah e sebbene abbia un clima molto arido è assolutamente magnifico.
Ci sono altri due canyon che meritano sicuramente di essere visti: il Canyon de Chelly, e Antelope. Anch’essi hanno paesaggi incredibili e offrono l’opportunità di osservare sulle loro pareti formazioni stratigrafiche di diverse ere geologiche.
Il Canyon de Chelly ha un pavimento roccioso e contiene i resti di un’antica civiltà conosciuta col nome di Anasazi. Questi resti sono costituiti dalle fondamenta di un’antica città trogloditica e da petroglifi sulle pareti del canyon.
Il Canyon Antelope �� molto famoso per le sue caratteristiche formazioni di colore rosso. Esse creano un bellissimo paesaggio che merita di essere ammirato e ovviamente fotografato dai turisti.

Monument Valley, Arizona
Insieme al Grand Canyon del Parco nazionale del Colorado, questa è considerata la seconda più famosa attrazione turistica. L’iconico paesaggio desertico di questa regione è stato immortalato numerose volte nei vari film western. È possibile optare per una visita guidata in fuoristrada 4×4 con accompagnatori del posto così da poter vedere in modo diretto le rocce dalle forme più caratteristiche.
Alcune delle rocce più famose e più conosciute situate in questa valle sono “Le tre sorelle”, “L’occhio del sole” e “L’orecchio del vento”. Dal momento che la Monument Valley si trova nella riserva Navajo, potrai anche fare esperienza della loro vita e cultura, incluse le arti e l’artigianato locali, e di uno stile architettonico davvero unico.
Come se non bastasse, dall’altro lato della Monument Valley, è possibile affittare una stanza nell’hotel dove il famoso attore John Wayne alloggiava durante molti dei suoi film, e contemplare l’alba in questa bellissima valle.
Sequoia National Park (California)
Un’altra meraviglia naturale, che il National Geographic ha messo in cima alla classifica dei parchi più belli d’America, è il Sequoia National Park. Si tratta di uno dei due parchi che assieme al Kings Canyon National Park, adiacente ad esso, fa parte del “Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Park”, un’unica area naturale protetta ampia quasi 3.500 km quadrati.
Entrambi i parchi si trovano a sud della Sierra Nevada, nello stato della California.
Il Parco nazionale di Sequoia include al suo interno il Monte Whitney (oltre 4000 metri) il terzo monte più alto degli Stati Uniti, mentre la principale attrazione del parco è la cosiddetta Foresta Gigante, chiamata così perché ospita un gran numero di sequoie giganti, tra cui l’albero più grande del mondo, il “Generale Sherman” (ha un diametro alla base di 10 metri).
Queste sono le principali attrazioni del parco:
Sherman Tree Trail. Un sentiero lastricato di circa 1.5 chilometri che conduce dal parcheggio alla base dell’albero Generale Sherman, attraversando un boschetto di gigantesche sequoie.
Tunnel Log. È una sequoia gigante caduta nel Sequoia National Park. L’albero, che misurava 84 metri di altezza e 6.4 metri di diametro, cadde su una strada del parco nel 1937 per cause naturali. Successivamente, il tronco è stato tagliato ricavando un tunnel largo 2.4 metri e alto 5.2 metri, rendendo di nuovo la strada percorribile.
Tokopah Falls Il sentiero per le cascate di Tokopah inizia in prossimità del Marble Fork Bridge. Si tratta di una facile passeggiata di 2.7 chilometri (solo andata) lungo la Marble Fork del Kaweah River, fino alle imponenti scogliere di roccia e alla cascata del Tokopah Canyon. La cascata di Tokopah ha un’altezza di 365 metri ed è particolarmente spettacolare all’inizio dell’estate.
Crescent Meadow. È un piccolo prato circondato da sequoie nell’area della Foresta Gigante. Questo prato montano della Sierra si trova alla fine del lato occidentale del High Sierra Trail, che va dal Crescent meadow fino al Monte Whitney, attraversando il Great Western Divide.
Moro Rock. È una roccia di granito situata nel centro del parco, in cima al Moro Creek, tra la Foresta Gigante e il Crescent Meadow. Una scalinata di 400 gradini, costruita negli anni ’30, è stata incisa nella roccia, in modo che i visitatori possano salire in cima. La scala è stata inserita nel registro nazionale dei luoghi storici. Dalla roccia si gode una vista su gran parte del parco, incluso il Great Western Divide. Ha un’altezza di 2.050 metri.
Il parco include tre campeggi nella zona pedemontana, e quattro in quella montana. Vi è anche un museo, costruito nel 1928, che offre informazioni sulle sequoie giganti e sulla storia della foresta.
Se hai la possibilità di andare negli Stati Uniti, non perderti queste location perché sono considerate tra le più grandi meraviglie del mondo.

Nikki Lane y Mike & The Moonpies, primeras confirmaciones internacionales de Huercasa Country Festival 2020

Sobre Nikki Lane
Nikki Lane, tras su tercer álbum de estudio, “Highway Queen” (2017), se encuentra trabajando en el que será su cuarto disco, que saldrá al mercado a principios de 2020. Será el tercero con New West Records, donde nos mostrará todo lo que ha aprendido durante su estancia en Nashville, Tennessee… su hogar.
El sonido de Lane se caracteriza por la facilidad que tiene para mezclar diferentes estilos. Combina potentes letras con guitarras típicas del blues y el country pop de los años 60´s. La nueva música que prepara Nikki gustará tanto a los fanáticos de Lana Del Rey o Jenny Lewis como a los más “clásicos” fans de Neil Young o Tom Petty.
Conocemos mejor a Mike & The Moonpies
Mike & The Moonpies llegarán al Huercasa Country Festival también con nuevo disco, presentando ‘Cheap Silver and Solid Country Gold’, su sexto disco de estudio, grabado en los famosos estudios londinenses de Abbey Road, con la colaboración de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Londres. Es su disco más arriesgado, un álbum que diversifica las raíces de honky-tonk de la banda añadiendo abundantes cuerdas y arreglos orquestales.
Inspirado en parte por la clásica música countrypolitan de los 60’s y primeros 70’s, estas nuevas canciones encuentran al frontman de la banda, Mike Harmeier, destilando la delicadeza de crooners como Glen Campbell o Frank Sinatra, respaldado por una banda  de guerreros de la carretera, cada uno de los cuales juega un papel fundamental en la construcción de cada tema.
El resultado es un disco moderno, pero con todo lo que hace emocionante a la vieja música: historias agudas, interpretaciones honestas y dinámicas y la voluntad de caminar más allá de los caminos trillados.
