Government website NPS.gov provides you with detailed information on U.S. National Parks.  For your next camping/hiking outings, this might be the site to go to.

Here’s a cool site showing you how to fold that luxury hotel toilet-paper origami!

This is seen in some upscale hotels where the cleaning staff will fold the first sheet of toilet paper into a triangle. The triangulated toilet paper informs the guests that the cleaning staff has been there, and has finished cleaning the room. The act of folding the first sheet of toilet paper into a triangle has spread to many hotels and to many countries.

If you are thinking about backpacking Europe and staying over youth-hostels, you might want to consider securing your hard-liquor with the Liquor Lock.  Of course, your neighboring friends could simply steal the whole bottle but this keeps it so their efforts are wasted.

Keep “unwanted customers” from running your bar dry. Just enter a three-pin combination, then turn the top clockwise until the lock expands and is tight. Re-enter the combination and turn counter-clockwise to release. Keep the kids and help from helping themselves.

To celebrate the coldest spot in the US, the city of Cut Bank in Montana have erected this rather large penguin.

To commemorate its hometown’s status as the coldest town in the United States, this concrete penguin was constructed in 1989. At 27 feet tall and a solid five tons, it beckons to passersby from its spot in front of the Glacier Gateway Inn, a furniture-shop-turned-motel.

The penguin talks (when its speaker works), bleating out the slogan, “Welcome to Cut Bank, the Coldest Spot in the Nation!”
