One day, a shepherd, while watching the sheep, saw a bush on fire.
To his surprise, the bush didn't burn up. Curious, he drew closer,
and there Moses heard the voice of God. He was on holy ground. One
week, a father, mother, three children and a nephew went to Disney
World, though they saw no bushes ablaze, wonders, lessons, and holy
grounds were as abundant as the Florida sun. Read about Moses' call
to Egypt alongside a family's vacation to Disney World and learn
how to see holy ground all around you, anytime, everywhere, in the
promised land, or the family van.
Although it's also known for for wolves, bison, and stunning
scenery, Yellowstone National Park was established as the world's
first national park in 1872 largely because of its geological
wonders. In "Geology Underfoot in Yellowstone Country," author and
geologist Marc Hendrix takes you to over twenty sites in the park
and surrounding region that illustrate the deep-time story of
Yellowstone Country, from its early existence as a seafloor
hundreds of millions of years ago to an earthquake swarm in 2008
that caused some folks to wonder if the Yellowstone Volcano was
going to blow its top again.

Walt Disney World is the number one family vacation destination in
the world. Crowds flock to sunny Florida to soak up the rays and,
with luck, a bit of pixie dust. Along with countless others, my
family journeyed to this magical world with visions of Mickey and
Minnie, a castle with real princesses, and rides that went beyond
our imaginations. We waited excitedly for the big day when we would
pass through the lands that promised us fantasy, the future, and
adventure around every turn. What we found, however, was more of a
world the Disney villains might have Imagineered. We encountered
tremendous crowds, cranky parents, whining kids, enormous groups of
teenagers, and more terrors than any tower could have caused. What
we found were.the Peak Seasons. "Walt Disney World Peak Seasons:
Maximizing your Disney Vacation" will help you to truly understand
that although the parks may be at capacity, there is a way to
maximize your vacation with little to no stress.

Harriman State Park and its smaller companion, Bear Mountain State
Park, comprise New York State's second largest preserve, a
wilderness as beautiful as any forest in Vermont or Maine and only
45 minutes by car from Manhattan. Think of a hiking trip to
Harriman Park as a short vacation with these key attributes: scenic
beauty, exercise, great food, and minimal driving time. This book
profiles 10 mostly moderate loop hikes that pass the Park's most
interesting or scenic highlights. The Sky Hike, for instance,
offers three wonderful views of mountain lakes, a unique formation
called "Ship Rock," glacially polished rock, and mysterious flooded
in iron mines. The Doctors and Lawyers trek includes a cave where a
bandit hid out in the late 1700s and the remains of an herb
doctor's house. The Tourist Hike takes you to a waterfall, a beaver
dam, caves where Native American artifacts were discovered, and an
old cemetery plot on the edge of Pine Meadow lake. Unlike other
outdoor books, this manuscript breaks down each hike into three to
six short intervals or segments (e.g. point A to point B),
promoting safety, a sense of mastery, and greater appreciation for
nature's beauty. Three illustrated maps are provided for visual
enjoyment and overall route planning.

brood above green and pastoral farmland. Arguably the best way to
see this fascinating country is from the freedom of a campervan.

unspoilt best.

You don't need a lot of money or a luxurious motor coach to camp in
awesome surroundings while exploring America. Arlene and Charles
Corby did it in a pop-up camper. Four days into retirement, they
left with a full tank of gas and big dreams. Their schedule was to
be in Savannah for St. Paddy's Day; New Orleans for the French
Quarter Festival and San Antonio for Fiesta. Their trip lasted two
years and covered 50,000 miles. From the heat of the Louisiana
bayous to the cool breezes of the Pacific Ocean, adventure was at
every turn. They found that traveling in a pop-up camper was
economical, low maintenance, and a lot of fun. Share their journey
and learn how to. *Adjust to life on the road *Make your camper a
home *Live 24/7 with your mate and enjoy it "This is a humorous,
down-to-earth, book filled with useful information about camping
