You might be under the impression that dog sledding is a professional sport and not for amateurs. If you're thinking about the Iditarod, then you are right. If, however, you just want to learn what it is like to go dog sledding and to have an adventure you should try the package deals at Alaskan Husky Adventures. You can have two and three day adventures with this group. You take up your own groceries and sleep in the cabins they provide and during the day you are given lessons on sledding and taken on tours by the trained professionals on staff.|Are you a photography enthusiast?

Dude Ranches can be terrific excursions for the entire family. The Ponderosa Ranch in Nebraska gives you an opportunity for laborious work and an exciting ranch vacation. You can occupy the ranch's guest cabins. During the day you get the experience of what it's like to be a real-life working ranch hand.

This is a great vacation for families because people of all ages and skill levels are welcome.|

One option for an extreme adventure vacation is skydiving over the Grand Canyon. Partake on a hot air balloon adventure over the Australian outback.

Why not try that on for size?|

Are you an avid hunter but getting tired of the wild game available for hunting in your neck of the woods? Why not get out on a hunting travel safari?

This is the perfect adventure travel for an aspiring chef or anybody who loves food.|Have you ever thought about taking a deep sea fishing trip? Very few individuals think about fishing as an adventure travel. At any rate, fishing becomes a completely new adventure when you are out in the middle of a giant blue ocean. In addition to maneuvering the catching of a big fish, you are fighting the elements of the sea. Being out on the sea can be unpredictable. The type of deep sea fish that you want to catch will help you pick your destination. However, if you prefer, you can always choose your location based on climate and "home base" scenery. One popular deep sea fishing point is Hawaii.|Do you idolize about spending a few weeks out on the open road on a motorcycle adventure?

New Zealand has offers from many different companies for tours and guided trips that allow you to just hop on a motorcycle. The most troublesome thing is finding your way there. Although, once you arrive, you won't ever want to leave!|Go for a Llama Trek! Anybody can do some horseback riding. If you want some funky adventure travels but don't have the money to travel outside of the US, check out the Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon.

These treks are fun because they let you choose between riding the llamas or walking and leading the llamas along with you. How many other times in your life will you be able to ride llamas?|Do you enjoy the thought of being right up close to large animals?

There are countless ways an "adventure travel" can be defined. For some it includes outrageous activities like climbing the highest mountains in the world or experience crazy climate conditions. For some it includes some type of challenge they are not accustomed to, such as driving cattle, hiking on other terrain, etc. Still for others, adventure travels involve learning new things while maintaining a fairly easy pace. The short story is: it doesn't matter what your interests are, there is an adventure vacation designed for you!|

Adventure travels do not have to be far-reaching, sky-high and totally outrageous. Sometimes they involve taking daytime adventures while returning to a relaxing setting at night.

Fortunately, there are adventures for just about everyone - even if they only have a couple days worth of vacation to accomplish it. When you begin making arrangements for your next vacation, why not participate in an adventurer's lifestyle? You can pick a pleasant spa for your vacation after.|

Not all adventure travels have to be dangerous and life threatening. You can have an exquisite adventure vacation without bungee jumping, skydiving or hoping a shark won't destroy a cage. At the same time, for the adrenaline fueled, that risk is half of the fun of any adventure based vacation.

The trick to taking a real adventurous journey is to put yourself up to a challenge and still have a terrific time. Get out and do it!|

Adventure travels don't have to be super expensive (though they can run a little high sometimes). They do not have to be lengthy vacations. Some only last a day or two! Why would you choose to let yourself sit around feeling bored when you could choose to spend your vacation having fun and adventures? Thanks to the sheer variety of adventure travels available, your hardest decision will be deciding up on a location and an activity. Have fun!|A reason for adventure travels is to get people to step beyond the boundaries of their comfort zone. They help you to explore different sides of your personality that are usually hidden. Are you sick of being on your couch and fantasizing about what life could be like in another part of the world? Have you always thought about mountain climbing, swimming in the sea with dolphins or camping in the wilds of Australia or New Zealand? Each of these can be achieved from you. Simply choose what kind of adventure you want and then go out and have it. It's not as complicated as my think it is.

Use of a Tarpaulin as a Ground Cloth for your Tent

By Bob Langdale

When camping with a tent it's a excellent concept to employ a ground material to help protect your tent. Most modern tents use a heavy material for the floor of the tent. The heavy material is waterproof to help stop water from entering the tent. An extra layer of a tarp is a thin but very handy obstacle that helps to separate the base of your tent floor from ground. Nevertheless a tarp will do nothing to forestall a jagged object from poking through the tarp or tent floor. Always clear away pointed stones and sticks when you preparing your campsite.

Tarpaulins will take the brunt of any minor tent-floor scratch caused by you moving within your tent. Your tentbase will last longer if you add a layer of protection under the tent floor. When using a tarpaulin as a ground cover there are a few straightforward rules to remember to get the best use out of your tarpaulin ground cover.

Your ground cover should be smaller in comparison to the bottom of your tent. You do not need the tarpaulin to increase past the sides of the tent. If it rains, water will run off the rain fly and hit the tarpaulin or the rain will simply hit the tarp. The water would then go on top of the tarpaulin and under your tent. The water could at last work its way up thru the base of your tent, particularly if you happen to have got a tent which has stitched seams in the base.

If your tarpaulin is larger than the floor of your tent fold the tarpaulin back and under the tent so no part of the tarpaulin stretches from under the tent. Don't forget to lay the tarpaulin flat so there are no bumps or raised areas that can act as a wear point on the tent floor.

If you are using a tarp with grommets, take away the grommets. The grommet is a hard point which will wear away at the tent base especially if the grommet occurs near a high traffic area,eg the doorway.

The other benefits to camping with a tarpaulin as a groundcloth are when you break camp, a ground cloth offers you a clean area where you can fold and roll your tent. Most ground level condensation that forms overnite sticks to the tarp not the tent. This helps keep your tent dry and safe from mold; you can live with a little moisture on your cheap tarp.

Happy Camping!

Mayan Approach to the Underworld Discovered by Archaeologists

By Linda Patterson

Many, if not most, religions both modern and ancient share the concept of an underworld. The Greeks had Hades; the Japanese Shinto have Yomi; some might argue the Christian Heaven is incomplete without its corresponding Hell. The Mayans were no different, except that they apparently took the idea a step further and physically constructed portals into their own mythical subterranean domain. The caves and depths of the world provoke a sense of unease and trepidation by their very nature, and the natural features of the Yucatn were utilized by the Maya as literal entrances to Xibalba, their land of the dead.

At an archaeological site in the Yucatn peninsula, a stunningly extensive network of subterranean caves, passages, and even temples has given physical substantiation to the beliefs of the Maya, at least to the point of showing us how seriously they took their ideas about making passage to the underground land of the dead. Today, these caves are largely filled with water, but some scientists believe that they were always kept, and indeed constructed, in that fashion. Since our modern explorers required scuba gear to fully explore the caverns, one can only imagine the dedication and strength of the original builders.

The Ancient Tablets Speak

The writings of the Maya, often preserved in tablet form, suggest that the caves may have served the double purpose of acting as a flood barrier. This would have been an important function, given that many such sites exist under or adjacent to large temples or areas of settlement. The Maya regarded death as less of a permanent transformation and more of a journey or transference between states of being; as such, the underground caves provided a literal road by which the departed could travel to their new realm of residence, forging a physical link between to worlds: that of the living, and that of the dead.

The Remains of the Dead

It's not uncommon for archaeologists to discover human remains in these cave passages, or to stumble across skeletons half-buried near the pools and flooded sections adjacent to the underground rivers. The frequency with which human bones are uncovered at these sites has lead researchers to believe that the tunnels were thought of literally as a portal by which the recently deceased could make their way to Xibalba.

At least fourteen similar cave sites have been discovered in Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala. Often, the caves themselves are decorated with huge columns, carved by hand out of the subterranean rock, as well as sculptures, pottery, and other ritual detritus. The ceramics often contain kill holes, small openings in the bottom that were meant to allow spirits to escape from the vessel during a ritual offering.

Supposedly, the path to Xibalba was no easy journey. The souls of the dead would walk a perilous path, passing houses filled with ghosts, walls dripping with blood, and passages filled with snakes and spiders. A successful journey would require the help of benevolent spirits, such as a mythical dog with the power to see in utter darkness, but even then, many tests and trials would have to be endured in order to at last gain admittance to the land of the dead.

The Tunnel Interior

For those who haven't yet been, it's difficult to imagine the eerie sense of transportation one experiences when descending into a Mayan cave. Standing at the end of a subterranean road, gazing into the inky abyss of a pool at the foot of an immense and intricately-carved pillar, with broken shards and human bones strewn about the site, it's hard not to feel both a thrill of fear and a sense of immense awe at the reverence that their creators once held for these sites.

The Maya were certainly champion builders, constructing some of the ancient world's most incredible cities and gigantic pyramids. What now makes these structures even more fascinating is the knowledge that erecting them was hardly the limit of the builder's science practiced by these ancient architects, for below an astonishing number of these cities and temples can be found subterranean networks exhibiting equal grandeur and architectural skill.

Fortunately, the secret of these Mayan caves has not been lost to history, and many of them are accessible to tourists. Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) in Belize is a popular site with some extraordinary relics, including the glittering, calcified skeleton of the Crystal Maiden, and can be reached and explored by taking a moderately strenuous day-long adventure hike. If you travel to Central America, be sure to reserve a day for a descent into the Mayan Underworld.

Horse Vitamins And Also Eating Manure

By Mark Givens

Horse vitamins are the most useful defense for the horse's wellness. In case you have a young horse, you might notice it consuming fresh manure, which is actually normal. It is called coprohagia and it gets the foal's digestive tract functional. The manure offers "starter" bacteria baby demands for the system of fermentation and digestion which allows his digestive tract to handle solid food. In addition, the environmentally friendly bacteria within the manure stimulate the foal's immune system, lowering the chances he'll become ill as he gets older. If it's fresh manure, there's a lesser chance the foal will be contaminated by his dam's parasites, as the eggs need to pass through to maturation within the manure before they are infective. The point is, you'll be making sure baby is wormed effectively too.

This behavior usually ceases once the foal is five months old. But when you see this taking place in adult horses, then alarm bells must be going off in your mind. If your adult horse is eating manure it has become a habit - and a very difficult one to break. If it's a habit, then it usually has to do with inappropriate giving, boredom and/or a lack of physical exercise.

It appears research has been done that demonstrate if a horse is not getting sufficient roughage he may eat his very own manure just for something to do. The same research say it's extremely important and essential for a horse to utilize his lips, choosing through grasses as well as other kinds of forage. If there isn't enough forage, he will begin using his lips, picking through and eating manure. Well, yes indeed. There are other causes of them consuming manure though.

If a horse has been ill, and antibiotics have been used, the medicines may have killed off the good bacteria, found in the gut of all horses that help prevent invasion by harmful bacteria or fungi. Eating manure might help the horse rejuvenate the good microorganisms. If the eating of manure just does not do it for you then consider giving probiotics. They're a source of live naturally occurring organisms. Another source of good bacteria is horse dietary supplements which you should regularly include within your horse's diet. This will help your horse get the strength to fight off diseases and improve its immune system as well.

Horse vitamins are good for your horse's health. Seeing your horse eating manure might turn you off initially but you have to remember that their manure includes good bacteria which will benefit them also. Always ensure your horse has sufficient forage to keep him content, balanced and munching. Horses are grazers and if you've got them in a pen all day with nothing to eat in between morning and evening feedings, you're looking for trouble. Also make sure they have something to perform and aren't standing all day doing nothing. A horse is a highly social animal and requires the company and friendship of other horses.

Custom Aquariums

By Eddie Dean

Custom aquariums permit you to develop precisely the sort of fish community you want to own. Not only could you often determine the size and shape but you also get more input on how you're going to populate your brand-new equipment.

Don't rush into making decisions. It is best to always talk to knowledgeable fish owners to see what they advise. Unless you've gotten many years of experience taking care of these pets, you'll make errors and unfortunately this can result in the dying or injury to the fish.

Do not forget to attempt to replicate a little of the fishes normal habitats when setting up custom aquariums. Just as humans are all different so are fish. A few will like swimming around all day whereas others would want to hide someplace until the tank gets darker. Fish, by nature, need sanctuary when being pursued by their predators. Hopefully you will not have added any predators to your new tank but you still have to offer some sanctuary if only to offer a spot where they feel secure.

You can't simply introduce any old rock inside custom aquariums as the shelter. The selection of rock might have an impact on the quality of the water but additionally might introduce some poisons into your tank. They could also be unsafe. For instance some rocks look wonderful however their sharp edges could injure the fish's fins. You can add limestone rocks to a marine fish tank since they help regulate the ph but they should not at all be part of a freshwater tank.

When you select the suitable materials you could imitate caves and crevices in your fish tank. The new inhabitants would love exploring them and will be much happier as a result. By providing them with a top quality lifestyle you're fulfilling your obligations as a fish owner.

By Tyler Ramos

If you like the idea of vacationing somewhere quiet yet heavenly, visit Panama. There is no good reason the general tourist public has ignored towns like Las Tablas on the Azuero Peninsula, but they have. Make the most of quiet beaches and inexpensive touring while you still can. The hotel chains will be here before long.

Here visitors may notice that old-fashioned life continues. See people on horses getting around. Villagers continue to wear their hand-embroidered, colorful clothes. Many are made in the area by local artisans. Perhaps one reason it has not lost its old-fashioned edge is that tourists have yet to discover Panama.

Chitre and Los Santos are towns close to this centre. They show signs of more urban encroachment though also continue to host an old-fashioned contingent. The beautiful Pedasi provides another good place to fly to and book a fishing tour. The cooler, mountainous region of Nuerio is only twenty-five minutes from your location. Explore the lush habitat of monkeys and cool down next to a waterfall.

Sea sports are critical to the tourist economy and a huge draw for visitors. Try your hand at wind surfing in the sea. Isla Cana is well known to naturalists for its turtles: come and see them hatch. A boat trip to Isla Iguana is worthwhile for divers and bird watchers.

Las Tablas hosts a spring carnival. If you come at the wrong time for their event, there could be another one happening in the region soon. Though colorful and fun, these are also busy times when hotel rooms are scarce and more expensive than otherwise. Other cultural attractions include ornate cathedrals featuring stained glass windows. Also stop by Museo Herrera for a glimpse of pre-Colombian artifacts.

Panama City is a few hours away by car, but visitors do not need a huge city centre to find life. Las Tablas features all of the amenities visitors of every age could need. There are supermarkets, gaming, bars and discos, plus places to plug in your computer for internet connection charged at an hourly rate. Considered a safe country, hospitals are close. This should reassure even the most worried parent.

Keep the heat in mind. Finding a hotel with fans and air conditioning can be very important to your overall comfort. Pasada Del Mar, a beachfront bed and breakfast just ten miles from town. Only five rooms are established here so expect a peaceful break. Hotel La Luna is also on the beach. Their clean rooms have air conditioning, TV and the hotel provides a pool and internet.

City hotels are another option. They situate visitors close to all modern conveniences, including shops with internet access charged per hour. Night life with music and gaming is also available.

Top Ten Sights To See In Bakersfield, California

By Barbara Zaragoza

You're in the countryside now. Bakersfield, California might seem small and remote, but the city's history is unique, fascinating, and defies the stereotypes usually given to "hippie" Californians.

Generally conservative, the city has its roots in the oil boom of the 1800's. While you drive through the outskirts of the city, notice the oil fields that dot the landscape. A little perplexing for the visitor, however, is -- if the region creates as much oil as an OPEC country -- why didn't Bakersfield become something like a filthy rich Qatar or Kuwait? Instead, the place still feels middle-class dusty with none of the Donald Trump opulence.

Okies settled here in the 1930's hoping to find their wealth in oil. Instead, these transplants from Oklahoma ended up building up California's farming community that today creates about 80% of the nation's vegetables and fruits. Their culture turned Bakersfield into a country western town where Buck Owens, the famous country singer, made a name for himself.

First visit the Buck Owens' Crystal Palace. The country singer lived in Bakersfield until his death in 2006. The palace has a steak house and a dance hall open in the evenings. The outside of the building has mannequins wearing western outfits, billboards with photos of country singers, and facades of old country western establishments.

A little ways down from here, the Greenlawn Southwest Cemetery has a mausoleum where Buck Owens is buried. On the outside of the structure, two guitars pay tribute to the idol.

Dewar's Candy Shop is another Bakersfield original, established one hundred years ago. The soda fountain area has root beer floats, sundaes and a whole menu of ice cream delights. Two moose heads strut out from the end of the counter. When you enter the ceiling is a frosted pink. A last interesting tidbit: they don't carry any whipping cream.

Nearby, a Spanish style clock tower has a charming history that touts Bakersfield's local community activists. The clock tower was originally built in 1904. Paid for by Truxton Beale, a ranch owner who dedicated it to his mother, earthquakes damaged the clock during the 1950's. Local citizens in the 1960's then decided to restore the clock and move it to a new location in the city.

Newly renovated, the Kern County Museum displays the history of the Black Gold Rush in Bakersfiled and also has fifty re-created buildings. On the property, look for a tribute to the Kawaiisu Indians who came long before the Okies. Their mortar rock has holes depicting how they used this rock for grinding acorns.

Cancer Survivors Plaza connects Bakersfield with twenty-four other sculpture plazas just like it throughout the nation. Richard and Annette Bloch erected this moving tribute to those battling cancer. It includes a Positive Mental Attitude Walk, eight life-size figures in various stages of cancer treatment, and seven plaques that describe the road to recovery. The plaza is located in the kid-friendly Beach Park Loop.

The Community Action Partnership has even more vision in these parts. About a ten minute drive outside of Bakersfield, you can visit Weedpatch Labor Camp, created in order to provide housing for seasonal migrant farmers. Inspired in many ways by John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, the plaque on the property actually explains that the camp was first established by people from Oklahoma. Every year in October, Dust Bowl Days takes place here, which is a celebration of Okie culture.

Once you've had your fill of visiting Bakersfield sights, it's time to eat. The Wool Growers is a restaurant that has a Basque heritage, although today it's turned more into a country western feel. They serve meals family style that includes bowls of Basque salsa, salad, beans, and spaghetti. If you're adventurous, you'll also try the marinated beef tongue.

The Sam Lynn Ballpark should be your final destination. They host all sorts of games like BMX and are home to the "Bakersfield Blaze". Interestingly, the architect created this park so that a batter has to face west to the setting sun. Was it a mistake or intentional? For people in Bakersfield, the debate rages on.

Ways To Achieve Positive Results Through Home-improvement Preparing

By Fernando Bernand Xavier

In this article, we'll be looking at some essential points to remember as you plan your home improvement project.

Do you want to start your home improvement project today? If so, you should also be concerned about tomorrow. You may want to put in a studio area or family room, but before you do, think about how long you will be residing at this current location. Although this may increase the value of your home, you might not want to do this as a project for the future if you are going to be moving quite soon.

If you are thinking about building a room specifically for your children to play in, this will not be usable in a few years which is something you may want to consider. Before doing any major renovations, also consider that some changes actually reduce the value of a home, so always do your research and think ahead. Most home improvement plans initially have something to do with energy efficiency. You may be updating your home for resale value or just want to cut back on your utility bills; either way, this is a good place to start. The most basic places to start may be tearing out your old windows and installing more efficient ones, or just buying a more efficient hot water heater. Insulation is another place to start when you are thinking about an update. Making your home more green and energy efficient is one of the best investments you can make, and should therefore be one of your first concerns when making improvements.

You can actually make your home look much more comfortable and appealing by doing this. The reason this works is because you are giving yourself more room by putting excess clutter into the storage area. There are many ways to do this. Putting more shelves in your closet or garage will give you the space you need. Storage sheds are very popular and can be used for this reason. If you have an attic, or a basement, you can get storage space in this way as well. Making your home more comfortable and spacious is possible when you remove the clutter.

It is important to only do the renovations that will be affordable and not be counter productive. When you are making decisions to do home renovations; even though your place is yours at the moment; you may decide to sell later. For one thing, it's hard to predict what people will like; they may have a different idea of what's beautiful than you do. Some folks think that swimming pools are more trouble than they are worth; you may want to consider this. Although, if you are not planning on selling your home anytime soon; do what will make your life more comfortable. As we wrap up the subject of home renovation, remember that this will increase the comfort level and make it worth more as well. Remember to take care of business up front and you will have taken care of aspects that may have gotten in your way on down the road with your project. We've discussed some effective ways to plan out your home improvements, and the main thing to remember is to think things though before committing to anything.

Most home improvement specialists will easily explain to you the significance of insurance. After all, you need to protect your investment, right?

Would you like to work with exposure? Educate yourself on what shutter speed is and the way to manipulate it. You must see letters on your camera: P, M, An and S. There's a "P" that refers to programme mode. This "P" setting immediately controls shutter and aperture when you shoot. If you do not know precisely what you will be taking a picture of, have the "P" setting on.

Should you find a location that you wish to image and don't have your camera, jot down a note of it and return when you have your camera. Always have a notepad with you so you can maintain a record of some spots that you need to return to.

Attempt to leave it just as gorgeous as you found it so that others, including other photographers, can appreciate it as much as you do.

You can make an object appear larger or smaller depending on where you place it, or try utilising it in a funny situation to express a more creative image. Your composition of your pictures will create interest when you're creative with common objects. This is especially important as a product photographer shooting product photography.

By Dorsey T. Emanus

Catch yourself before you press the button: hold the camera still and wait to take a breath until after the shot is taken.

When approaching scenarios or subjects that are unfamiliar to you, don't hesitate to practice before the actual photo shoot. Every situation in photography is different, so it is important that you take practice shots to get used to the setting. In hectic environments, the lighting can change from second to second, so don't feel the need to count every shot as a "real" shot.

You can safely learn what works and what doesn't.
