A new exhibit on the history of crime in Lake County, “Crime and Punishment”, is open for the summer at the Courthouse Museum in Lakeport. Stagecoach robbers, a notorious sneak thief and a gang of murderous miners are featured in the same building their sentences were handed out.
Last summer me and my family went to valleyfair. We got up really early because we had to drive to shakopee. It was a long drive and i fell asleep in the car. I hate long cars rides because they are always so boring, anyways when we got there we had to go through security and then go and get our tickets and wristbands. When we got in there we went on some rides and got food. All i ate that day was panda express. And i went on the wild thing and steel venom.
In the years after the Civil War, Texas seemed to be the land of opportunity. Northern pioneers, newly freed slaves, some Mexican citizens, and cattle poured into Texas. Business savvy cattlemen acted on the high demand of beef in the United States. They assembled herds of free-ranging wild cattle together in South Texas for drives up the trail to railhead markets in Kansas. The men who worked on the cattle trails imagined themselves as cowboys, but never imagined the hard labor that would follow. They left home as young, naïve, but brave men only to return after one season on the trail toughened and wise.

Life is good in Colorado Springs. You can explore geography from the high desert to the Rocky Mountains, enjoy warm sun during the mild summers and deep mountain snow in winter, and get active by experiencing nature in the Garden of the Gods or testing your athletic skills at the Olympic Training Center. Even better, Colorado Springs has the fourth-lowest gas prices in the United States. That means you'll have more money in the budget to trick out your car or truck with accessories to help you make the most of life in The Springs.
In my opinion, what the Minnesota State Fair means to people is tradition. Families go to the state fair every year to have that one last adventure with their kids before school starts up again. Its a place where people know they can find something that everyone in their family will enjoy eating because of all the many options available. Also, parents know that with all the many games, rides, and venues available that everyone will find something they can enjoy as a family for one true last memory until next summer.
The Buffalo River area is a karst environment with attendant sinkhole and cave formation. Limestone, composed primarily of CaCO3 and dolomite composed primarily of CaMg(CO3)2, are the two soluble rock types in the area that host the karst features. Water in contact with air picks up carbon dioxide some of which transforms to carbonic acid, and this acid then dissolves the carbonate minerals, carrying the ions out in solution (e.g. Trudgill 1985). Limestone and dolomite layers vary in impurities and grain size so that different layers are more or less prone to dissolution, with dolomite generally being less soluble than limestone. To erode these rock formations with very low intergrain porosity and permeability, there has to be exposed surface area and so faults and joints within the rock greatly increase the rate in which the rock will dissolve, and partly control the location of
"Boom! Pow! Sounds that are immediately followed by Ahh's and cheers. For most of us these sounds are all too familiar at annual 4th of July firework celebrations. However, what would a 4th of July celebration be without the glimmering colors of our nation. People all over our country are able to share in the excitement of fireworks partly due to the effects of one element. The glow of a child’s face from “Glow in the dark” paint is able to work - again- because of the effects of one element. However, the feelings of happiness and pleasure are not constricted to only the red glow of paints and flares. This amazing element is also able to bring pleasure and
We’re driving my dad’s rusted out maroon 1978 Chevy pick-up with our livestock trailer behind it. Down Highway 20, we’re are headed to my favorite place in the world during the summer, the Sac County Fair. The trailer is full of my two older sister’s cattle that they will show at the fair this Saturday. Every year, the last week of July, we do the same routine over and over and I’m still not sick of it.
If you happen to be in Alabama, on of the interesting stops is the Mobile Carnival Museum, the only museum of its kind, found in the historic Bernstein-Bush mansion on Government Street. The museum features mainly different displays of gowns, jewels, and trains worn by the Carnival queens in its local celebration, showing the evolution of what it was in the earlier times, to what it is today. Displayed are attires also of jesters who are known to accompany the queen during the Carnival. Novelty items such as posters, tableau designs, and ball invitations are also found in the museum. There are also different depictions of the Carnival from local artists. The Mobile Carnival Museum is an interesting stop whenever you're in Alabama. It's something
Some may be surprised to learn that Arizona has terrific camping spots that are on the water. The north central high desert of Arizona is full of these areas which include the water-carved wonders of the red rocks of Sedona and the water sports of the Verde River with its feeder creeks, springs and streams. Following are some of my personal favorites in the neighborhood. Dead Horse Ranch State Park Located in old Cottonwood, this large park adjoins the Verde River. Your stay could include wild-life watching, fishing, events marking historical significance, with many water sports and hiking trails. Exciting bicycling trails exist as well. Frequent events are held there such as nature walks, canoing competitions, and a variety of festivals.
What is the irrigation to Yuma, Arizona? A big impact on such a little town actually. Yuma’s main water source is the Colorado River. But this river does not work the greatest with Yuma’s set up. This southern part of Arizona is one big flat pile of sand so to speak. And when you are a flat pile of sand things do not break down. Which leads to everything building on top of each other. When rain decides to come to Yuma the water builds. This causes the Colorado River to flood. But because of the large amount of packed sand everything floods. The flood water rages through the town and wipes everything completely out. This happened time and time again until someone thought, let’s make a change. But what was that change? Irrigation.
