    I awoke at 3.00am to climb to the summit of this steep and gusty mountain - arrived around 5.00am at the peak - and sat in the dark in a nook in the rocks and waited. Eventually the sun arose and shone some warmth through and revealed this otherworldly view through the skies of Malaysia.

    While not on the scale of the Grand Canyon the Cathedral Gorge in remote Panaca, Nevada is a site worth seeing. The beauty of the gorge is unmistakable.

    Little has changed in over 50 years inside the Apple Pan... some traditions should be preserved along with their great tasting burgers!

    What is Texas barbecue? It's doing something well and allowing that work to speak for itself, an increasingly rare commodity in these gourmet times.

  • Combo Plate at The Salt Lick

    Located just outside of Austin in Driftwood, TX the Salt Lick may have served the best pork rib I've ever tasted.

    If you want a beer to go with the best pork rib around you'll have to bring your own but they will provide the ice and once you get there you'll know that there are few ways to better spend an afternoon than with a six pack of Shiner next to the screened in windows at the Salt Lick.
