A good portion of the United States is locked into one of the worst winters in years. For those of us who live in that nightmare, or at least for me, there is mainly one thing on my mind at all times: rust. Salty roads = rusty vehicles. Period. Now, about this 1959 Studebaker which...

Nick is the nineteen-year-old hero of Hitchhiking Across America: 1963 by Daniel Robinson. From Nick’s point of view, you are about to see the different facets of American life as he sets forth on a road trip that will make him encounter the different faces that represent America. The year is 1963, and Nick works at a Harrah’s Club restaurant at Lake Tahoe. An idea suddenly flashes through his mind that he should go hitchhiking across America. It didn’t take him that long to get going because his dishwashing job offers very little excitement. During his travels, he learns about Jim Crow and how it enforces segregation. He discovers something about the secret life of JFK. World War II veterans will tell their war experiences and how it has impacted their lives. He will also meet individuals whose lives play a significant part in what it means to live in the Land of the Free. One of the lovely qualities of this fictional hitchhiking story is that all the characters that Nick encounters are necessary. They are not just characters placed on Nick’s specific routes for the sake of keeping the plot running. They are not storyline conveniences but are elements in Nick’s learning experience. Hitchhiking Across America does have moments where Nick explores the dangers of hitchhiking, but this is a tale that deviates from the common Hollywood-induced impression that many psychos pick up hitchhikers and kill them. Daniel Robinson paints a storyline with strong connections to the legacy of those who have done it before, such as Jack Kerouac, Joni Mitchell, Marvin Gaye, and even Pearl Jam. As hitchhiking has become a rare opportunity for modern connections, this story is a must-read to experience in reading how hitchhiking opens your horizons to a bigger world.
Top 7 Best Free Shuttles and Trams in Las Vegas (Vegas Hacks and Money-saving Tips): * This information was researched prior to the Covid-19 shutdown, during which time most of these transportation options were not available. On the maps, the casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip seem right next to each other. In reality, they are probably 1 kilometer apart. Walking around is fine if you are healthy, if you have good shoes, and if it is not too hot and sunny. Please click here for other useful tips for Las Vegas newbies and Vegas first-timers. Using Uber, cabs and buses is not practical, especially after about 5 PM due to gridlocked traffic. Articles in early 2021 are warning about the long wait time for Ubers in Las Vegas due to a shortage of drivers. These modes of transportation also cost money. The monorail is only on one side of the strip and it runs at the back of the casinos, which is pretty far from the Strip. This also costs money. Thus, you might want to take advantage of some of the free transportation options provided by the various casinos. Here are some suggestions for you. 1. Free tram between Excalibur and Mandalay Bay (stopping at Luxor on northbound route) every 7 minutes from 11 a.m. – 10:30 PM. 2. Free City Center tram runs from Park MGM to City Centre and Bellagio every 15-minutes from 7 AM to 2 AM. 3. Free tram between Mirage and Treasure Island every 15-minutes from 8 AM to 4 AM. 4. The Las Vegas Downtown Loop is a free shuttle bus doing a 45-minute loop around downtown Las Vegas from The Stratosphere north to the Fremont Street Experience, Mob Museum, the Arts District & the North Premium Outlets (every 30 minutes). 5. Sam’s Town has a free shuttle to Fremont Hotel and Harrah’s. 6. Free Caesars Entertainment Shuttle Bus from Rio to and from Bally’s, Paris and Harrah’s every 30 minutes from 10 AM to 1 AM. UPDATE: The Rio All Suites Hotel and Casino ended their free shuttle service in 2017. Guests should still be able to get to the Strip for free by walking next door and taking the Gold Coast Hotel and Casino Shuttle to the Las Vegas Strip. 7. Gold Coast Hotel has a free shuttle to the Orleans Hotel (off Flamingo Road) and the Fashion Show Mall (across from Wynn). It runs roughly every 30 minutes from noon to 10 PM daily and runs until midnight on Friday & Saturday. #1, #2 & #3 are convenient because they are on the opposite side of the Strip as the Monorail. I have used these trams many times and the wait is usually less than 5 minutes and I have never seen them over-crowded. #4 & #7 may give priority to guests of their hotels. 2021 UPDATE: One very interesting new development since I first wrote this article is that Elon Musk’s The Boring Company has completed a free underground “non-loop” transportation system for the convention centre to take people at no cost from one end of the convention centre to the other. That doesn’t help the average tourist, but the other interesting development is that the Las Vegas Monorail has declared bankruptcy. This throws the monorail’s operating future into question and also has allowed The Boring Company to apply for permits to construct more underground tunnels to transport tourists in Tesla vehicles all around Las Vegas, which could include the Airport, the Strip, the off-Strip casinos, and Fremont Street.

Hull #124 Previous Owner - Bill Harrah (Harrah's Casino), Ted and Joan Haynes, Howard M Day, George W. Day Jr Power: Original 125 HP 8 Cyl Lycoming Engine History: “Hurrah” was named after Bill Harrah of the famous Harrah’s Casino. Harrah previously owned the boat and used it regularly on Lake Tahoe’s Zephyr Cove since 1964. He later kept it on display in his Sparks Automotive Collection for over 20 years. The casino magnate set out to own the world's largest car collection and succeeded, with more than 1,400 collector vehicles (and boats) — many one-of-a-kind — before his untimely death. Bill Harrah collected cars of which only one was built or only one remained in existence, the first and last of a series, and cars that had notable engineering features, history, or owners. In less than 3-1/2 years, 250,000 people visited the collection. - The first 8 photos of the gallery were taken by Mark Mason in 1972 during a private tour to the Harrah Collection given by Ralph Dunwoodie. The 1964 Nevada boat registration in the name of “Harrahs Club” is still attached to the underside of the starboard engine room hatch. Joan and Ted Haynes bought the boat in late 1983 or early 1984. They had just bought a residence on Lake Tahoe and wanted to buy a wooden boat reminiscent of the Garwood that Joan had ridden in many times during her childhood while visiting the Olivers in Hurricane Bay. John Mozart, a major collector of old cars and boats, recommended they look at the Dodge in storage at Sierra Boat. Steve Martini purchased the boat from Ted and Joan in 2005. The following history of the boat was relayed to Ted and Joan Haynes by Dick Clark at Sierra Boat (however has never been confirmed). Horace Dodge gave the boat to his wife who owned it for many years. Bill Harrah (of Harrah’s Casino) bought it from the family to include in his boat collection (a relatively small adjunct to his famous car collection). Hurrah has never been fully restored and is a very original example of this rare model. John and Horace Dodge Sr. built a fortune in the early years of the automotive business. An early contract with Oldsmobile led to a relationship with Ford, which ultimately led to the establishment of the Dodge Brothers Motor Car Company in 1914.The brothers were on a roll, as they traveled to New York for the National Automobile Show in 1920. Both brothers fell ill with influenza; John died in his hotel suite on January 14. Horace Sr. recovered, though he passed later that year. While the Dodge's left the company in capable hands, the widows accepted an offer of $146 million for the company in 1924. It left the two Dodge families the wealthiest in the United States. Horace Elgin Dodge Jr. was a charming young man who displayed an aptitude for boat racing and the social scene but not for the automotive business. Horace was so passionate about boats and his ability to sell them that he convinced his mother to fund the Horace E. Dodge Boat Works in Detroit where he began selling the “Watercar model powered by a marine version of the Dodge four cylinder automobile engine. In 1930, Dodge moved into the new Horace E. Dodge Boat and Plane Corporation, a state of the art boat building plant in Newport News. Horace had the financials to buy whatever he needed, and this led to the partnership with Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg. Horace approached E.L. Cord to supply engines from Lycoming. As Dodge was one of the very few entities able to pay cash, Cord agreed. The results are seen in this Dodge boat, which features its original 125 horsepower straight eight engine, the original Duesenberg steering wheel and Cord shifter. This boat features the only “hood ornament” ever incorporated into a production boat and the Pass-a-Light cigar lighter by Stewart Warner. Commonly thought of as a “mermaid”, the figurehead is actually a water nymph designed by well known sculptor- Russell G. Crook. Dodge boats are one of the rarest of the major boat manufacturers; less than 15 of the 21A models exist. The final photograph in the album is from the The Rosenfeld Collection, acquired in 1984 by Mystic Seaport, is one of the largest archives of maritime photographs in the United States.
