Venice Beach – Los Angeles

Hi Folks, Pacific Ocean, the beach, the people, L.A…. Wish you were here! Venice Beach is the only place where I have felt that I’m not being stared at. The place is packed with quite unique people and a small gnome does not stick out from the crowd. By the way, Santa Monica Pier and the […]

Las Vegas – Nevada

Hi Folks, I thought it would be a good idea to double anything I have. Well… It went all right at first. Mom, if you see this, please send me some money for all in.. I mean food of course! Las Vegas baby, I will miss you but the highway is hot and the world cannot […]

Hoover Dam – Arizona

Hi Folks, I do not know whether you have heard of Mr. Hoover. Apparently he was keen on building stuff and cleaning. One of the best inventions in the world is named after him. I guess he was a little bit up-tight: “Keep off Wall”. A bit rude I would say. The word “please” would […]

Grand Canyon North Rim – Arizona

Hi Folks, This is amazing. I mean, the artcrafts in MoMA have no comparison to this view. Do you hike? No, well maybe you should! Go before it’s too late. Be sure to take enough water with you. And look out for rattlesnakes, scorpions and especially the squirrels which are possibly more dangerous than the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog in Monty […]

Salt Lake Temple – Salt Lake City

Hi Folks, I visited one of the strangest cities, Salt Lake City. The main city attraction is the Mormons’ head quarters called Salt Lake Temple. I have heard that there is a musical about Joseph Smith and Mormons on Broadway; I will definitely have to see it to learn more about these weird people. About the […]

Pinedale – Wyoming

Hi Folks, I took this photo few miles south from Pinedale. The area is bautiful. Of course I would prefer a public transport but folks, around here you have to have your own horse. If you can’t ride, a car will do. Pinedale’s motto is: “All the Civilization You Need”. I believe that says it all. -Gart

Graceland – Memphis

Hi Folks, Greetings from Memphis, Tennessee. I visited my pal Elvis Presley in Graceland. Hung out with the white pet monkey. We got along very well although the monkey was not the talkative type. Kicking back relaxing at my homies entertainment room – almost perfect, if only the king had not left the building yet. -Gart  

U.S. Route 66 – Nilwood, Illinois

Hi Folks, I got the feeling that the Agency had found out my location so I decided to seek protection from Iron Sleds Motorcycle Club in Nilwood. Nobody was home so I made the only rational thing and continued my journey to Graceland. I must say that although U.S. Route 66 is one of the Great American Road […]

Buckingham Fountain – Chicago

Hi Folks, Buckingham Fountain is Chicago’s landmark and one of the largest fountains in the world. The fountain shoots water up vertically to nearly 50 meters. Not bad I would say. A word of advice though, the weather conditions of the “Windy City” may not always be ideal for fountain viewing. Wind may carry the the water hundreds of meters and I […]

Michigan Central Station – Detroit

Hi Folks, I found my way to Detroit only to hear the sad news. My old pal Cosmo McMurtry had lost his job when Detroit was declared into bankruptcy. Cosmo had been staying in this deserted passenger depot for a while but the rumor says that he moved to Australia. Cosmo, if you see this post, please leave a comment […]
