The All-American Bucket List: 50 Iconic Adventures for Each of the 50 States
If 'visit all 50 states' is already on your list, here's what to do, see, and experience while you're in each one.
Harness your inner astronaut at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. This Smithsonian affiliate museum has an extensive collection of space artifacts, rockets, spacecrafts, and simulators.
The aurora borealis is thought of by many to be the most stunning natural light show on Earth. The spectacle appears most frequently appear over Fairbanks and Anchorage, Alaska, in the winter months between September and early April.
What would a bucket list be without a trip to the Grand Canyon? Head to the popular South Rim on the Arizona side of the canyon for a quick visit, or the more secluded North Rim for a more involved trip.
For a small fee, you can search for stones at the Crater of Diamonds State Park in Murfreesboro, Arkansas. The world's most perfect diamond and North America's largest diamond were both found here.
Bask in the shadows of the tallest trees on Earth at Redwood National & State Parks. The tallest tree here (and in the world) stretches 359 feet into the sky.
If you don't mind the 8.5-mile hike up Conundrum Creek Trail, you're in for a treat: the 100-degree hot springs at the top. Set up camp nearby and head to the water for stunning views of the mountains during the day and the stars at night.

Haughton/Otis elevator 1 - Soldiers & Sailors Memorial Hall & Museum - North Oakland, Pittsburgh, PA
This was originally an old Haughton elevator, but it was modernized in the mid-2000s by Otis w/ Series 2 fixtures. It still has the original motor. The Series 2 mod. is very nice, as it’s nice fast, the fact that they kept the original motor, as it was definitely made to last a very long time!

Food in the Garden 2014: The Great Lakes
The Great Lakes region was integral to the War of 1812, a front for several naval and land conflicts such as the assaults on Ft. Meigs and the Battle of Put-in-Bay. Once referred to as the Eden of the West, the Great Lakes region included hundreds of miles of untamed wilderness, rolling rivers, and dense forest encompassing modern day New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. The region was home to the Chippewa, Ottawa, and Iroquois tribes, who valued the waterways as a means of life. With the increasing demand for elbow room, European-Americans began to extend their reach westward into relatively unfamiliar territory with the hope of thriving off of abundant, fertile land. With them came exotic and—in some cases—invasive species never before seen in the region such as apples, peaches, swine, and other fare that would come to define the region. How did the introductions of new plant and animal species affect the cultural foodways of the people who lived there and continue to live in the region today?
200 years later, this region is the cultural center of the Midwest with over 32 million people living along the lakes. Although early settlements have come and gone, many heirloom seeds native to this region have stood the test of time and there is an ever-present effort to preserve them, not only for consumption but for their cultural significant as well.
Panelists: Jodi Branton, National Museum of American Indian; Rick Finch, interim director of the Glenn Miller Birth Place Museum and former site manager of Fort Meigs: Ohio’s War of 1812 Battleground; and Tim Rose, geologist at the National Museum of Natural History and cider maker with Distillery Lane.

What If Megalodon Sharks Didn't Go Extinct?
2,600,000 years ago, megalodons terrorized the seas and oceans, and they were believed to be the largest sharks to ever live on Earth. They were also the largest predators in vertebrate history. What if this enormous marine carnivore had never become extinct? It isn’t a fun scenario to imagine, but, hey, we’ve also been toying with the idea ever since we saw fossils of dinosaurs and other beastly creatures that once roamed our planet. These gigantic animals ruled Earth millions of years ago, and we can’t help but wonder what our life would have been like if we’d coexisted with them.

SUMMARY
-Megalodon shark lived during the Neogene period, was between 52 ft and 59 ft, and its weight could vary from 70 to 100 tons. During the Renaissance period, the megalodon’s teeth were mistaken for the fossilized tips of the tongues of dragons and snakes.
-The only remains of a megalodon to be discovered were its vertebrae and tooth. They were found around the continents of Australia, Southeast Asia, Europe, and North and South America.
-Back in 2016, researchers at the University of Zurich’s Paleontological Institute and Museum found that the real reason the megalodons became extinct was due to competition over food.
-The megalodon immediately clamped its teeth onto the body of its prey, which resulted in pulverized ribs and a ruptured heart and lungs. The second attack method of the megalodon was to rip its prey’s fins to immobilize it before chow time.
-Had the megalodon shark survived, the aquatic biodiversity could have been rich if that had happened. However, the super predators that existed along with megalodons would also still be alive.
-Other species that have caused terror on Earth were the Aegirocassis benmoulae, the Sarcosuchus imperator, the Megatherium americanum, the Titanis walleri, or “Terror Bird”.

Precipice Trail Hike - Acadia National Park - Bar Harbor, Maine 4k GoPro
It's been awhile since I got around to making a video so here it is. This was definitely one of the scarier possibly more dangerous hikes I've done so far but also one of the most fun! Visiting Acadia National Park was a first time for me and I wanted to see what these Iron Rung Hikes were all about and I was not disappointed. Despite my fear of heights it slowed my pace down quite a bit but nonetheless I was able to get through it without much of an issue. This is perfect for testing your rock scrambling/climbing abilities since there are some areas where it may be iffy for small children or people with movement issues.
I went during October during the fall foliage and even though it wasn't perfect the park/islands were all turning a nice rainbow color quite pleasing to the eye. Most, if not all, of Bar Harbor and the park gets shut down for the off-season so October was the perfect time to go and experience everything before that happens.
I hope the video isn't too bad as most of the hike was from my shoulder's point-of-view and was cut down/summarized into the more interesting portions of the hike. You can't really gauge the height in the video but take my word for it most people will get the vertigo feeling just by looking backwards while climbing or off the walking paths. If I come back this will able be a must-do when visiting Acadia National Park (or Bar Harbor, ME). My conquest of visiting all 50 States and US National Parks continues!

How Does The Civil War Qualify as the First Modern War?
For 5,800 years of recorded history, wars were fought with pre-modern forms of transportation ad communication, where the world was powered by windmills, watermills, literal horse power and human muscle. However, this all changed with the invention of the steam engine and its implementation in the 19th century. In fifty short years, macadamized roads, canals, steam trains, steam boats, steam presses and telegraph communication revolutionized the transfer of energy and power. By the 1850s, every aspect of western civilization looked and functioned differently than it had for thousands of years. It was in this milieu the Civil War was fought. What did the first modern war look like and how did it differ from previous wars? How did wartime observations by foreign emissaries alter the course of future wars?

Dover/Otis Scaife elevators - Carnegie Museum of Art - North Oakland, Pittsburgh, PA
These were originally buggy Dover with Payne fixtures, then received an Innovation Universal slap-on in 2009, then in 2016-17, a full 1 by Otis. What I don't like about it is these used to have 2 COPs, now they only have 1, of course, the new motors. Luckily these still have the unique cabs. Overall, I think this modernization was a big improvement of what these were, as these were very glitchy before, I got stuck in the left car. Although the 1 set of original fixtures will be missed. This was taken in Dec. 2016 when Car 3 (this 1) was finished, Car 2 (the 1 I got stuck in) still in the process. Car 2 didn’t come into service until about 2-3 more times of coming here after this video.

An Interactive Webcast Examining African American Experiences in World War II
Throughout World War II, African Americans pursued a Double Victory: one over the Axis abroad and another over discrimination at home. Major cultural, social, and economic shifts amid a global conflict played out in the lives of these Americans.
In this 60-minute program, student reporters examine artifacts from The National WWII Museum's signature special exhibit, travel to California to learn about injustices in a segregated military at Port Chicago Naval Magazine National Memorial, the site of the deadliest munitions disaster during the war, and explore Rosie the Riveter/WWII Home Front National Historical Park to understand transitions and tensions in American defense factories.
