Quarry Bank Mill
Quarry Bank Mill is a remarkable survivor from the Industrial Revolution, namely a virtually complete cotton mill that opened for business in 1784 and can be seen today – in many though not all respects – just as its original owners and workers would have seen it.
John WelfordPublished 4 years ago in WanderThe Adventures of Nike and Mandy
Every time I step out to travel, I say to myself, "I don't want to stop, its too addicting”. It's a drug that can't be sold or made. If you're wondering how you can obtain it, you just have to live it. Nike and Mandy are doing just that. Exploring the balkans in a way that most would shy away from. Hitchhiking with random strangers to their next destination, sleeping on the couches of people they met on the internet or camping out in random spots they find in the cites.

Flowers, Friends, and Free Pets
Hi, my name is Ellie. The photo above is me waiting eagerly for one of my aunties (pictured right) to take me on a regularly scheduled stroll/detailed evaluation of their surrounding territory. They are very special to me, so whenever my parents bring me by their place in Pasadena, CA to check on them I am always sure to not leave any patch of grass un-sniffed nor any errant cats un-warned. Both my aunties and my parents call their house “the Unicorn” and talk about how special it is all the time.

By: Marlene Affeld Be Prepared Before you head out to the promising gravel bar you heard about up no-name creek or on an exploration of an old mine site in the backcountry, let someone know where you are going and when you will return.

Ask a friend or relative to notify authorities of your likely whereabouts if you do not return within a certified time frame. It may sound like old advice, but it is worth repeating. No one will come looking for you if they don’t know you are missing.
