Historic Hotels and Lodges. Free virtual tours of the best historic hotels, lodges, motels, and bed & breakfasts in North America. Our goal in creating this website is to give you an in-depth look at the hotels and lodges. We have included lots of photos, and details of what to expect if you visit in person. This generally includes a list of room amenities, facilities, and services... even how quiet the rooms are! We also try to present you with a little history, a few architecture details, and show you some "behind-the-scenes" things most guests don't see. We even provide some information not usually in the travel agent brochures, like the name of the local ghost!

Blah, Blah, Blah. A Christian book on world views, written by my good friend Bayard Taylor. While college ought to be a broadening experience, the majority of young Christians are totally unprepared to meet the multiple challenges of competing world views—whether on campus or in the workplace. Too many Christians are intimidated into silence about their beliefs, often resulting in the loss of their faith. While Bayard Taylor urges young people to "question authority" in order to reveal world view agendas and identify imposter, he also offers functional information Christians can use to defend their faith in a thoughtful, respectful way. Clearing up the whats, whys, and who's of the major world views will allow for deeper conviction when readers share the burning faith inside them.

How Roosevelt Spent the
Bail-Out Money in 1937!
This is Timberline Lodge in Northern Oregon. It seems fitting to take a look at it today, as it was built during the depression as a WPA project to create jobs. Today millions of people every year still enjoy this National Historic Landmark. Those bail-out dollars have had a lasting impact!
The Lodge in the photo above is buried under 25 feet of snow! I love exploring old hotels and I'd like to show you some of them. Take a free on-line tour of Timberline Lodge with me. The craftsmanship and art make Timberline Lodge one of a kind.

Quick Review: Recommended. This book provides a good background on irrigation, and will help you decide if an irrigation system will be of benefit for you. This would be an excellent book for someone planning to hire a contractor to install an irrigation system. It will provide you with what you need to know to evaluate the contractor's proposal and work. See full review.
Los Angeles Residents:
Is your shower not working Monday and Thursday AM? To conserve water Los Angeles is limiting yard watering to 2 days a week. The same two days for everyone! In theory, this could cause some massive water pressure problems if everyone turned on their sprinklers at the same time. So has it? If you live in the LADWP district how's your shower working on Monday and Thursday mornings? Please send me an email and let me know. This should be interesting!

The photo below is of the Oregon Caves Chateau. It's one-of-a-kind, and one of my favorites. Built in 1934, it is essentially unchanged since it was built. The exterior is shingled with tree bark. A real creek flows through the dining room. Even the furniture is still original! Please click on the photo and join me for a free mini-vacation without leaving your desk:
