A Day at the West Virginia Roadkill Cook-Off & Autumn Harvest Festival
Ahh Fall. It’s one of our most enjoyable times of year. The trees are ablaze with incredible colors, there’s a cool crisp bite to the air, and everything is suddenly available in the seemingly unescapable flavor of Pumpkin Spice. Perhaps our favorite part of the season though, is that communities nationwide come together with festivals celebrating the bountiful harvest. Of course here in West Virginia they celebrate the fall just a little bit differently: with a Road Kill Cook- Off. Yes you read that correctly, I said Road Kill Cook-Off. Join us as as we explore the local culture at this year’s West Virginia Roadkill Cook-off & Autumn Harvest Festival and see what makes Pocahontas County so special.
Carnivorous Bikers and Bountiful Beer at Dinosaur BBQ in Syracuse, NY
Dinosaur BBQ restaurant in Syracuse is a well-known biker bar that serves great grub and the beer flows freely. My kind of place. We didn’t ride over here (we took the much more boring form of transportation also known as walking), but we did come across too many motorcycles to count parked all around the place. Upon first inspection, this quirky restaurant seemed very out of place for Syracuse, but after crossing the front lines and walking in the door, I could see why people, locals and visitors alike, flock here for a fun time and great barbecue.
Traveling Vancouver on a Budget
Vancouver is known for it’s gorgeous skyline views, mild temperatures, five-star restaurants and high-rise hotel rooms, but it’s not often praised for its budget-friendly travel options. While most publications choose to boast Vancouver’s top end dining and accommodation choices, there’s still plenty of room for budget travelers in this city by the sea. In fact, Vancouver is rich with budget-friendly places to stay, eat and play, that are often the foundation of million-dollar memories.
