Topics: Pittsburg, PA, Niagara Falls, Canada and Vermont When you hear the word Pittsburgh one usually doesn’t invasion beautiful tree filled hills crisscrossed with rivers and towering bridges but that is the real Pittsburg. Of course you can’t forget it’s fascinating ethic neighborhoods, active cultural scene, and food you can’t get anywhere else. These are the things that make Pittsburgh one of Rochelle’s favorite cities on this road trip. Rochelle’s co-pilot for the past month takes over the airwaves as we roll into Niagara Falls, Canada. Find out about the great sightseeing tours and learn about Rochies detainment at the border for weapons.

One of the most memorable states is our next stop! Vermont is quaint, friendly, beautiful, tasty, unforgettable and jam-packed with things to do. Grab a Vermont Teddy Bear before hitting the outdoor pedestrian mall in Burlington. Then it’s off to good old Ben and Jerry’s in Waterbury. You can’t forget to shoot up the road to Stowe for a bit of dining or if the season is right, skiing. Covered bridges are plentiful as well as postcard perfect towns and villages like Woodstock (voted pretties small town in America)

10/05 Road Trip Junkie Feature on Travel Hub Radio Topics: Ozarks of Arkansas including Gaston’s White River Resort, Bull Shoals and Eureka Springs

Hitting up the Ozarks of Arkansas was an accident of sorts. I had to drop Bean Dog off in Colorado (I know 1600 miles round trip out of the way) as the next two months of the trip would be rough with a pup in tow. Driving yet again through Kansas was too much to bare so I detoured through Arkansas.

I have never had the urge to visit Arkansas before this trip but that has changed with one visit to this beautiful outdoor wonder world. The Ozarks are absolutely stunning and there is no better place to rest your head that Gaston’s White River Resort. This weeks podcast is all about the Ozarks on Arkansas including Gaston’s White River Resort and the Mountain village of Eureka Springs.
