 Ghost Musicians Please Nevada City Crowds
Posted Saturday, October 25 @ 02:00:00 PDT by Dominic
I’m not sure what sort of impression we’re trying to leave you guys with about Nevada City, but in my mind it was a lot of fun, even if a bit out of the way. Though there were some real tourist leeches in town, it’s a city hit hard by the exploding (combusting?) gas prices over the summer, and it really is a town well worth your visit… that is, if you can handle the haunted piano hall. |

 Remlinger Halloween Farm Once Again Rocks the Season
Posted Friday, October 24 @ 02:00:00 PDT by Dominic
As we do each year around this time, we head out to our favorite Halloween fun farm in the near’s to Seattle. We call it Remlinger Farms, but probably only because that’s what they call it too. The difference this year isn’t just that we’re a year bigger each, but that this time around it’s my turn to write the review de la festivities. |

 Seattle’s Halloween Train Chuggas Its Choo-Choo on Horizon
Posted Thursday, October 23 @ 02:00:00 PDT by Brendan
It’s that time of year once again. Of all the seasons in all the months, I reluctantly admit (to you only, not to my family) that Halloween is my favorite, and there’s no better way to enjoy it than with a clever costume, trick-or-treating amongst generous adults, and by riding the fun-tastic rails of the Halloween Train offered up by the Northwest Railway Museum in Snoqualmie, Washington. |

 Fire Engine Tour Barely Ok, Still Novel
Posted Wednesday, October 22 @ 02:00:00 PDT by Dominic
I don’t know if it’s just me, but I feel like I keep getting the worst assignments on the trip. Fine, fair enough, I’m the junior editor so I’ll write it up. Virginia City, Montana, is nothing but a tourist trap, and one that felt a pretty hard hit from the high gas costs this summer, what with being basically in the middle of nowhere. So this nowhere tour of nothing got hit hardest, and the real victim wasn’t the operator, who owns everything outright, but us poor tourists. |

 Mineral Museum Good, Free Fun, Plus Gold I Guess
Posted Tuesday, October 21 @ 03:00:00 PDT by Brendan
On our first run through Montana, we drove right past the Mineral Museum on the university campus in Butte (on purpose) to head for the World Museum of Mining. I can’t pretend that the World Museum of Mining isn’t plain fantastic (worthy of recommendation to friends and strangers alike) but we didn’t just miss the Mineral Museum, we really missed out, and we didn’t know so until we swung back through our second time. It’s pretty darn good in fact. |

 Staggering Oxen Missoula Rivals Flagship Store Glory
Posted Monday, October 20 @ 02:00:00 PDT by Dominic
We first visited Staggering Ox in Helena, where they have an unbelievable flagship eatery, complete with acres of kitsch, an art museum full of some of the least likely “art,” and a staff that just can’t be beat… they also have great food, but once you’re there, it hardly seems like the point. We loved the food, so we decided to focus on it more specifically this time around. |

 Western Heritage Inn Actually Kinda Terrible
Posted Sunday, October 19 @ 23:00:00 PDT by Brendan
Montana was a trip like none other we’ve ever taken. The people and places we saw were so great that after almost three weeks in big sky country, we took a month back home, and just had to return for another three week. That doesn’t mean all of it was perfect though, and there were a few glaring exceptions… The Western Heritage Inn in Bozeman was one such bone in the smoked salmon fillet, and it deserves mention for it. |
