isin: Idaho Sandpoint is a popular city and tourist destination in North Idaho on the shore of lake Pend Oreille (Pond-Orr-Ay) in northwestern United States. (although Idaho is generally recognized as a Mountain State, Sandpoint and other far northern Idaho cities are most often categorized as officially being part of the Pacific Northwest. At last census, the population of Sandpoint was 6,853 (est. 2006 was 8,206). The closest city of 100,000+ people is Spokane Washington (78 miles away), 500,000+ is Seattle Washington (390 mi), and 1,000,000+ is Los Angeles California (1,000 mi). The zip code is 83864, the time zone is Pacific (UTC-8), and the area code is 208. The official currency is United States Dollars, but most stores and restaurants will accept Canadian currency due to Sandpoint's proximity to the Canadian border and the large amount of Canadian tourists that visit the region.

Reception
Vistors to Sandpoint must realize that it is a region in transition. From humble timber and fishing beginnings, Sandpoint has suddenly been rocketed to among the top destinations in the West, indeed the nation. It was number one on USA Today's List of Unforgettable Summer Vacations, as well as Sunset Magazine's top small Western Town, along with numerous other distinctions. Obviously, the locals have mixed feelings about this. Along with much-needed additional revenue and diversity, tourists and new transplants bring with them additional traffic in an already choked town, pollution from all those extra cars, and a crowded downtown. The average cost of a house in Sandpoint has skyrocketed, and property taxes are through the roof. Although most residents are at least tolerant of the added load and many are overtly friendly with tourists, any and all visitors must be prepared to read some anti-tourist bumper stickers. Few, however, will ever encounter the wrath of a truly ticked local, a force to be reckoned with indeed. To avoid this, one only needs to arm oneself with some basic knowledge of the town, as most of this stems from annoyance with perceived ignorance. The bottom line- don't skip this beautiful resort town because of the rumors of California haters. Just read up on the town in advance, and please don't walk out in front of cars in a crosswalk under the assumption that they'll [be able to] stop!

Geographical Layout
This article could perhaps be more accurately titled East Bonner County. The region generally known as Sandpoint is actually a collection of small communities lining highways 2, 95 & 200, the largest of which being the actual Sandpoint. Excluding Sandpoint, they are the following:
 * Careywood 18 miles south of Sandpoint, Hwy 95.
 * Cocallala 12 miles south of Sandpoint, Hwy 95.
 * Westmond 10 miles south of Sandpoint, Hwy 95.
 * Dufort 8 miles south of Sandpoint, Hwy 95.
 * Algoma 6 miles south of Sandpoint, Hwy 95
 * Sagle 5 miles south of Sandpoint, Hwy 95
 * Ponderay 3 miles north of Sandpoint, sandwiched between Hwy 95/2 and Hwy 200.
 * Kootenai 4 miles north of Sandpoint, Hwy 200.
 * Sunnyside 6 miles east of Sandpoint, Hwy 200
 * Oden Bay 8 miles east of Sandpoint, Hwy 200.
 * Trestle Creek 14 miles east of Sandpoint, Hwy 200.
 * Hope 16 miles east of Sandpoint, Hwy 200.
 * East Hope 17 miles east of Sandpoint, Hwy 200
 * Beyond Hope 21 miles east of Sandpoint, Hwy 200
 * Dover 3 miles west of Sandpoint, Hwy 2.
 * Wrencoe 9 miles west of Sandpoint, Hwy 2
 * LaClede 14 miles west of Sandpoint, Hwy 2.

Climate
Located just north of the 48th parallel, Sandpoint's climate is rather unique in the region. Although found not far from the deserts of Eastern Washington, Northern Idaho is actually on the rainy side of the next mountain chain- the Rocky Mountains. Many climate maps will show Sandpoint as an arid or semi-arid region, but this is not accurate. With long, usually quite cold winters (average temperatures are generally below freezing, and usually dip down to -20F for a week or two in February) and short, hot summers, (80-90F is the average, but be prepared for the possibility of up to 100F for short periods) Sandpoint most resembles a Hemiboreal or even Boreal climate, similar to that of the southern interior of Alaska (Fairbanks and the like, with milder winters). Winter lasts from late November to March, whereas Summer weather doesn't really hit until July and peaks in August. Spring (April-June) and Autumn (September-early November) are generally rainy and cool. Storms are quite common in Sandpoint- thunderstorms are the norm for hot summer afternoons and windstorms strike the most in spring.

By Air
Sandpoint does have an airport, unfortunately it is only serviced by charter planes and even then, getting in and out is complex and expensive. If you want to fly in, Spokane International Airport (GEG) is your best bet. Located about 2 hours southwest of Sandpoint, it is a hub for Horizon Air, Northwest Airlines, Frontier, and Big Sky Air, and airlines like United, Southwest, and Delta also fly there. Most flights bound for, and departing from, GEG leave from/go to Seattle/Portland, so be prepared to fly to Seattle or Portland even if you are heading east. You can get a flight directly to Minneapolis, but expect to pay more.

By Car
In Europe, it may be true that all roads lead to Rome, but in the Northwest all roads lead to Seattle. Sandpoint is no exception, as two of its three highways will eventually take you there.
 * From Seattle/Portland Driving east from the west coast, you have two options. I-90 eastboand is the fastest, but it is mostly barren steppe and scrubland. In Coeur d'Alene, take Hwy 95 north to Sandpoint. The scenic alternative to I-90 is Hwy 2- which winds through northern Washington and drops you off right in Sandpoint. It is slightly longer, though.
 * From Boise Instead of taking Hwy 95 northbound through the state, take I-84 out of the city and follow it north (it becomes Hwy 395 along the way), then hop on I-90 and drive east until you reach Coeur d'Alene. Although on a map 95 seems shorter, it is a winding road that has fallen into disrepair in many places with few stops along the way.
 * From the East I-90 westbound is your best bet. Same drill- take 95 at Coeur d'Alene. For an alternative, Hwy 200 winds through northern Montana, passing through Kalispell/Flathead Lake and Glacier National Park

By Train
Sandpoint has a small station on the Amtrak Empire Builder Line, which runs from Chicago to Seattle/Portland, and services most of the northern Midwest and Northwest. All Amtrak trains arrive and depart from Sandpoint at ungodly hours, but bunks and other accommodations are available.

By Bus
Greyhound Bus Lines operate a station in Coeur d'Alene, a large town south of Sandpoint. From Coeur d'Alene, you can take a N.I.C.E (The North Idaho Community Express) Bus to Sandpoint.

Get around
Although Sandpoint bills itself as a walking town, you can't really see everything without a car, or even a bike if you're athletic.

Public Transportation
A plan for public transportation is in the works, but for now the only buses are the privately owned ones that take you up and down Schweitzer Mountain during Ski Season and the NICE Bus, which runs from Sandpoint to CDA.

Eat
For a small town in a relatively remote region, Sandpoint contains an inordinate amount (last count was 60, but not all are listed here) of restaurants of all shapes and colors, likely because of its strong tourist economy and a very hungry population. In addition to the locally owned restaurants listed below, Sandpoint also plays host to several fast food chains throughout town. Visitors with a particularly discerning palette may be pleased to learn that Sandpoint holds two major "food festivals" annually- A Taste of Sandpoint in February (part of the Winter Carnival) and the Sandpoint Summer Sampler in late June. Both feature many local restaurants serving up their most popular fare in a fun and artsy setting. Foster's Crossing Antiques also holds a fudge contest during the Winter Carnival, and for a small fee anyone can test then judge a preset amount of entries. Every town has a specialty, and Sandpoint's is huckleberries. From huckleberry pie to huckleberry syrup to huckleberry daiquiris, you can find just about everything in huckleberry come summer. Local stores often carry some of the prepackaged stuff, like huckleberry candy bars, and restaurants usually serve some sort of huckleberry dessert. Huckleberry Ice Cream in particular seems to be the local favorite. All of Sandpoint's restaurants are casual, that is to say none of them have dress requirements. Even the most expensive restaurants will let you in wearing ripped jeans, but you may get some looks. That being said, you will probably also see many others dressed as you are! Price guide for an average entrée: $ = <$10, $$ = $10-20, $$$ = >$20

Get out
After all, there's way more to the region than just Sandpoint! In fact, Sandpoint makes a great hub from which to visit smaller (or sometimes larger) communities. Here are some places to start...

Hwy 95 Northbound

 * Bonners Ferry Slightly smaller than Sandpoint, Bonners Ferry is a short drive from the Canadian border. It has a cute downtown full of shops and also the Kootenai Wildlife Refuge, where you can hike numerous trails or take a driving tour.
 * Porthill/Rickerts About the only thing interesting about these communities is that they lie exactly on the border and house the US/Canada customs. Unlike many more urban customs offices, waits are not usually long, but remember to bring birth certificates for all minors and identification for all adults, plus passports all around if your vacation falls in 2008 or after.
 * Cranbrook, BC Cranbrook is a fun little town not far from the border, whose main attraction is Fort Steele. Fort Steele is a famous re-enactment/museum of pioneer life, complete with exhibits and tradespeople such as tin and blacksmiths, excellent views of Cranbrook, and many exhibits. A must see for all passerby.

Hwy 2 Westbound

 * Priest River/Lake Past LaClede is the small timber town of Priest River. Priest River is home to a cute downtown, Albeni Falls Dam (which supplies the region's power) and plenty of wilderness ripe for discovering. Head north from Priest River, and you will find Priest Lake, a tiny resort town in the middle of nowhere.
 * Newport, WA Just over the Washington border lies Newport, also on the Pend Oreille river. Newport has lots of shops and a classically themed movie theater.
 * Beyond If you stay on 2, you will eventually end up in Sedro-Woolly and Burlington at the junction of Hwy 2 and I-5. Along the way you will pass through such famous destinations as Winthrop and Republic, all within a days drive of Sandpoint... or Seattle.

Although there are excellent travel books out there in hard copy, the world is dynamic, constantly changing. Besides, it seems humanly impossible for one person or a small team of people to imagine, much less explore all the possibilities. So I have high hopes that WikiTravel will take travel guides to a new level. And just in time, 'cause I'm a boomer due to retire in just a few more years!

Here are some of my interests:

Trout Fishing
I found Robert Smith's book about native trout of North America when I was in Bend, Oregon in the early 1980s. It got me started on a similar odyssey, even hoping I might find some undiscovered sub-sub-sub species somewhere in the Great Basin. Of course that was a bit naive. Among other things, cowboys love to fish. Nevertheless I really enjoyed catching big Lahontan Cutthroats in Pyramid Lake and little ones in the Independence and Ruby Mountains, Bonneville Cutthroats in the Snake Range, Apaches in Arizona, Gilas and Rio Grande Cutthroats in New Mexico, Westslopes, Redbands, Bull Trout Steelhead in British Columbia, Redsides in the upper Deschutes, Goldens in the Sierras, and Coastal Cutts in northern California and western Oregon. I also loved fishing in the mountains around Los Angeles. Very possibly some of these fish are native steelhead that were cut off from the ocean by flood control reservoirs. There is something magical about having a nice stream all to yourself and catching 50 or so on dry flies, an hour's drive from a city of ten million.

On the road
We need guides to interstates and federal and state highways. Wikipedia has a project like that, but the head honcho is adamant about it not being a travel guide, i.e. can't put in hints where to sleep, eat, buy gas and stuff to see. Fair enough, so let's do it in WikiTravel.

My favorite approach to travel is the Great American Road Trip. As a school teacher, I have wonderfully long summer vacations, and love to spend them driving from the Northern Virginia (DC) area to all sorts of places around this great land. I've even driven to Alaska and back. There are times that I can be persuaded to travel by airplane, and occasionally I can be coaxed to travel abroad. I grew up in Buffalo, New York. I have travelled to many of the 50 United States, as well as several countries in Europe.

About Me / 关于我

I'm a management consultant from Singapore who spends his days traipsing all over Asia Pacific drinking hotel lounges dry. At the moment, I'm working my arse off so that I can retire early and fulfil my lifelong dream of running my own bar and making obscene amounts of money from it. But until that happens (if it ever), I'm living my life like every day's the last. I've spent a considerable amount of time in Shanghai, Wuxi, Guangzhou, Taipei, Shenzhen and Kunshan since 2005. Sadly though, after blundering around China and blowing all my money on things I shouldn't, I'm currently staging a painful comeback to work, in Hong Kong. Life is hard, but it has to go on. My favourite drink is the Cordon Bleu cognac, and my favourite smoke is the Cuban Montecristo. Most of the time, however, I kill myself with Absolut Vodka and Marlboro Lights. I'm an avid admirer of the Lamborghini Diablo and the A. Lange & Söhne Datograph Perpetual.

Origin of the name of Park Avenue avenue du Parc draws its name due to the fact that it partly follows Mount-Royal park, between Pine Avenue and Mount-Royal Avenue. The name of Park Avenue was allocated to it in 1883 and it was only in 1961 that they were officially allowed to translate this name into avenue du Parc. This toponym remains one of the rare exception in Montreal where both specific French and specific English remain in use.

User:(WT-en) LateRooms

LateRooms is a hotel reservations website used as an online clearing house by hotels for their unsold hotel rooms. Launched in 1999, the site originally started as a simple directory listing hotels but in 2002 moved to enable users to book hotels online (some hotels require a telephone call to LateRooms). In 2006 it lists over 12,000 hotels. The site has featured in the Telegraph, is listed in The Sunday Times Top Travel Sites and was 16th in the Sunday Times/Microsoft sponsored Tech Track league table of the UK's fastest growing private technology companies, 2005. Currently in 2009 it list 22,000 properties.

Geographical Coverage
The majority of hotels listed are located in the United Kingdom and Europe. Most Popular destinations include London Hotels,Paris Hotels,Rome Hotels,Barcelona Hotels, Madrid Hotels and Liverpool Hotels

How LateRooms Work
Hotels enter their own rates on LateRooms and are supposed to update daily to reflect genuine availability. LateRooms generates revenue by charging the hotels commission for any bookings generated.

The site lists hotels categorised primarily by location. Discounted room rates (ie below 'rack rates') are shown in orange text. Cynics point out that most hotels now sell their rooms at prices lower than their ‘rack’ rates, except to an unwary visitor walking in off the street and simply asking for a room. Although it is true that chain hotels which use LateRooms may be offering the same rates on their own web sites, this is not true for independent hotels, and LateRooms real USP is to show a live (or nearly live) availability for a large number of hotels (all of which meet the customers date/location/facilities requirements) at a single glance. When the user selects a hotel, the full list of available room types for the desired dates is shown.

Search

To narrow down the list of hotels presented, a number of different ‘quick searches’ are available to help users of the site. These filter the lists of hotels to display various specific subsets, for example those offering the largest discounts, cheap hotels, luxury hotels and hotels with disabled facilities for a particular area. An enhanced search on the London Hotels pages of the site enables users to find hotels by nearest tube station, specific London area or London postcode. All rates on LateRooms are quoted on a per room basis and therefore single people will have a wider choice when searching if they don't specify a room size.

Maps

Maps showing the hotel locations are available together with a number of comprehensive city guides for main destinations including London, Paris and Rome.

Hotel reservations

Although the site claims to specialise in live-availability last minute hotel reservations, bookings can actually be made up to 12 months in advance, and availability of advertised rooms is not in fact guaranteed. Bookings are secured by credit card but payment is made to the hotel on departure. Hotels can be booked online or by phone in English, French, Italian, German or Spanish.

Hi, I’m from Toronto, Canada. I grew up in the Ontario, but also lived in beautiful Montreal and Quebec city (my favourite city).

Currently im editing Georgia article.

Travels
Well I travelled to many places. Almost anywhere in Europe and Canada. I'd love to travel to Ethiopia, Israel and basically everywhere. I went on many trips to Caucasus and fell in love with that region (especially Georgia).

Wikivoyage
I’m not a fan of Wikipedia. I found many negative sides of Wiki (un-sources materials, biased articles and tons of violations in terms of NPOV). Make sure you use valid and reliable sources for you research in any topic (Wikipedia is not one of them). However, I discovered Wikivoyage just recently. In my opinion this web site will revolutionize the travel experience. Books and DVDs on travel are very expensive in the West. In most cases, you can’t find good travel tips from those books. This web site however, will give you chance to learn the experiences from the fellow travelers. Article about Vienna saved me tons of time and money during my brief stay in Austria. I used many tips offered by the author and they worked out great. My desire is to make similar helpful articles and help people before they travel to their destination places. And finally make them happy :)

=Where I'm From= I was born in 1977 in Oberlin, Ohio and grew up in rural Wellington, Ohio about 45 minutes southwest of Cleveland. Now I live around the corner from Great Northern Mall in North Olmsted, Ohio, a suburb on Cleveland's West Side. I've lived here all my life through many warm wonderful summers and cold cloudy Cleveland winters.

=What I Do= Information technology is what I knew I wanted to work in since I was in second grade, and currently I work as an applications developer at Akron Children's Hospital.

Photography, history, geography, and cartography are HUGE interests of mine, and I hope to put my talents to good use and help out Wikivoyage. Feel free to explore my photos on Picasa!

=Places I've Been= These are places I've actually done more than just pass through or fly over...in my own geographic order...

Ohio

 * Northern Ohio is obviously a place I am familiar with. It's a weird talent, but I can draw a very detailed map of the area from memory, and almost to scale - and yes, I do have fun when I do it! :-)  I start to get foggy in below US 30 or west of US 250 though...

 * Some noteworthy places I like include:
 * Cleveland, which has something for everyone. Cleveland is an extremely livable city with plenty of urban and natural wonders to explore.  I dare people from many of the newer large cities in America to compare the quality and quantity of their parks and cultural institutions with those of my Cleveland before repeating any of those jokes they've heard!  :0)
 * Cuyahoga Valley National Park, a unique national park between Cleveland and Akron. The park's natural beauty and natural history form what would be the pendant of Cleveland's Emerald Necklace, and also showcases critical pieces of American history that helped the United States become what it is today.  (And I mean in both good and bad ways!)
 * Mohican State Park
 * Sandusky/Port Clinton area, especially anywhere along Lake Erie. This of course includes the Amazement Park, Cedar Point!
 * Put-in-Bay, out in the Lake Erie Islands

 * Columbus
 * Cincinnati
 * Hocking Hills State Park in Southeast Ohio, which might as well be a national park, and hopefully already has its own page on this site.

Michigan

 * Detroit
 * The Upper Peninsula, including Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore and Tahquamenon Falls State Park.

Indiana

 * Muncie
 * South Bend

Illinois

 * Chicago--The deep dish is GREAT! My favorite place for a cocktail is now the 96th Floor of John Hancock Center.  :-)

Pennsylvania

 * Erie
 * Pittsburgh, although I'm afraid to admit it...  (GO BROWNS!!!)

New York

 * Niagara Falls, which does include the Canadian side, although the last time I actually set foot on foreign soil was when I was only 6.
 * New York City, which I would visit any chance I can get, even if it's just for the pizza! :-)

North Carolina

 * Wilmington (North Carolina), former home to the Atlantic Coast Line headquarters and some of the most intriguing Civil War monuments I've ever seen, since they tell more of the Confederate side of the story.
 * Brunswick County Islands

South Carolina

 * Myrtle Beach

Florida

 * Ocala, especially including areas in and around the Ocala National Forest, which is more remote than any area I've ever seen in Ohio.
 * Bradenton
 * Tampa, probably my favorite big city in Florida.
 * Orlando
 * Daytona Beach
 * St. Augustine, which is my favorite place in the entire Southeast. Tons of history, beautiful city, and beautiful beaches.
 * Miami, including Everglades National Park
 * Key West - All I can say is that Henry Flagler staked his money on both of my top picks in the Sunshine State, so he had to be a pretty smart guy!

Kentucky

 * Newport, but only because I walked across the Ohio River from Cincinnati on the Purple People Bridge, which is just such a way cool name!
 * Mammoth Cave National Park

Tennessee

 * Chattanooga

Oklahoma

 * Oklahoma City, probably the friendliest and cleanest city I've ever visited--where the people all sound like they're from West Virginia though the terrain is very eerily flat... :-/

Colorado

 * Denver
 * The Rocky Mountains, including Mt. Evans and Great Sand Dunes National Park.

California
=Places I Want to See= I still have lots of West Coast road-tripping to do! I still want to see Olympic National Park, Seattle, and Redmond (but of course!). If I got to drive out all the way from Ohio, it would be cool to see Yellowstone, and maybe hike the Grand Canyon. If that happens, I'm gonna need another hard drive for all the pictures!
 * San Francisco, now my second home :0)
 * Los Angeles
 * The Sierra Nevada, the most amazing mountains I've seen in my life!
 * Yosemite National Park, which is a must-see destination for anyone who hasn't already been there. If you have been there before, you should probably go back! :-) haha!
 * Mojave Desert
 * Pacific Coast Highway, from San Francisco to Los Angeles. I want to go back and do the Redwoods Highway to the north--and beyond to Puget Sound.

Other places I'd like to go:
 * Toronto
 * Boston
 * Philadelphia
 * Washington, D.C.
 * New Orleans
 * Prague
 * London
 * Germany - Ich spreche ein bischen Deutsch!
 * Italy - Romans & the Renaissance...that's amore!
 * Australia

Many places around Kaili is worth your time to mill around. Traditional markets which held in turn of five or six days circle, is half an hour to two hours to reach by local bus. In these markets women in traditional clothes are seen, the things they bring from the villages are exchanged in the market, these are indigo they need to dye their cloth, chicken they take home to offer for worship, handwoven textile they sew for their family, silk floss they could do embroidry,etc. Besides the market, also festivals are also held during this time of the year. Rain-worship ritual is held on Augest 5th of this year in the south of Kaili, there you will see traditional rain-worship, Dong people's music, singing and dancing under their Drum towers, indigo-dyed pleated skirts and festival jackets applied with silver ornaments. During this summer time, it is a short free time for the work in the fields, locals of Miao and Dong will arrange bullfights and some more festivals, such as Eating-new-rice festival. this is held almost everywhere in the south of Kaili Many traveler's agency recommend quite touristic village such as Nanhua, Langde, Xijiang, Zhaoxing. But I feel personelly you have many places to see and experience, why should everybody does the same thing and have yourselves harrassed to be chopped here and there from one shop by another by the greedy sellers? for further information, please contact: leemqing@hotmail.com

I have been to 47 countries so far (depending on (WT-en) what exactly you count as a country).

My personal "bucket list"
One day I want to go to:
 * Peru to see Machu Picchu
 * Jordan to see Petra
 * Cambodia to visit Angkor Wat
 * Orkney Islands to scuba dive Scapa Flow
 * Antarctica
 * Beijing to see the Great Wall of China
 * Egypt both to see the Pyraminds and to dive the red sea
 * Iran to see Persepolis.
 * North Korea, frankly, just because.
 * Mali to see Timbuktu - that way, once I have been to Antarctica, I can say I have been "from Tierra del Fuego to Timbuktu"...!)

What is a country?
For my personal count, I use the Wiktionary definition "A nation state, a political entity asserting ultimate authority over a geographical area". Or put another way: does it issue its own passports? So Bermuda and Anguilla are independent legal states even though they are a dependent territory of the UK, as is St Martin, and Hong Kong and Macau are independent of China. But England and Scotland are not treated as separate from the UK as a whole, nor is Guam or Puerto Rico with respect to the US.

The wreck of the RMS Rhone is the most popular scuba diving site in the British Virgin Islands. It is regarded by some commentators as one of the best wreck dives in the world.

Understand
Like many great wreck dives, the Rhone has a great shipwreck story behind it.

The RMS Rhone was a royal mail steam packet ship that transported mail cargo between England, Central America, and the Caribbean. She was one of the earliest iron hulled ships, and was powered by both sail and steam. She was built in 1865 in London, and she measured in at 310 feet/ 94 meters long. Her propeller was only the second bronze propeller ever built, and she was regarded as unsinkable. During her maiden voyage she weathered several severe storms.

On 19 October 1867, the Rhone pulled up to a temporary coaling station in Great Harbour, Peter Island, alongside the RMS Conway. The original coaling station had been moved from nearby Saint Thomas due to an outbreak of yellow fever. The captain of the Rhone was one Robert F. Wooley. On that day Capt Wooley noticed his barometer dropping precipitously, and was concerned it might mean a possible hurricane, despite it being very late in the year for storms. But he elected to remain at anchor. However, a hurricane it was, and a ferocious one it was too - stronger than the instruments of the day were capable of measuring. The Rhone weathered the first half of the storm, and then the 'eye', a patch of calm weather at the storm's epicentre, passed over.

The Captains of the Rhone and the Conway conferred. The ferocity of the storm had dragged their anchors, and they were both worried about being driven up onto the shore. A decision was taken to transfer the passengers from the Conway to the safer vessel: the Rhone. In accordance with standard maritime practice, the passengers were lashed to their bunks to prevent injury.

The Conway then weighed anchor and sailed up the channel, but was caught when the storm swung around, and foundered off the south side of Tortola with the loss of all on board. The Rhone struggled to raise her tangled anchor, and Capt Wooley eventually ordered it to be cut loose. It lies in Great Harbour to this day, its chain still entangled around the same coral head. Time was by now critical, and Capt Wooley decided to shoot for open sea, passing between Salt Island and Dead Chest Island. Between those two islands lay a deepwater pinnacle known as Blonde Rock. Fearful of hitting the shallow pinnacle in the swells, Capt Wooley ordered it be given a wide berth.

She almost made it to safety. Just as the Rhone was passing Black Rock Point, less than a boat length from open water, the storm came back around, and the winds drove the Rhone onto Black Rock Point. The hull cracked against the rocks, allowing cold water to flood into the superheated boilers, which then exploded upon contact, sinking the vessel with almost no chance for anyone to save themselves. Even over the noise of the hurricane, the explosion was heard over Salt Island, and the local salt workers rushed to try help the victims through the raging hurricane, a feat of courage for which Queen Victoria bequeathed the island which the worked upon to them and their descendants in perpetuity.

Local legends say that Capt Wooley was thrown directly onto Black Rock Point on first impact, never to be seen again, although this seems improbable. But his ship sank swiftly, and his body was never recovered. Of the original 146 souls aboard, plus an unknown number of further passengers transferred from the Conway, only 23 people (all crew) survived. The bodies of many of those who perished were later recovered and buried in a nearby cemetery on Salt Island. Due to her mast sticking out of the water, and her shallow depth, she was deemed a hazard by the Royal Navy in the 1950s and her stern section was blown apart by explosives.

The Rhone was actually dived as early as the late 1800s by a trio of Irish salvage divers known as the Murphy brothers, one of whom became the first (and believed to be the only, so far) death on the wreck relating to decompression sickness.

Position

 * N18°22'7.3"
 * W64°32'8.2"

The wreck is located on Black Rock Point on the West side of Salt Island. The site is only accessible by boat, and is served by eight National Park mooring balls for boats to moor up to. Because the site is a designated dive site, anchoring on the wreck or hooking into the wreck with a grapnel is prohibited by law.

Depth
Maximum depth is about 85 feet/26 meters. At its shallowest the wreck reaches within 15 feet/5 meters of the surface.

Visibility
The visibility on the site is normally good, in between 50 and 75 feet/15 and 22 meters, but can be higher on very calm days.

Conditions
Prevailing seas tend to come from the Southeast, and so the wreck is normally in reasonably calm waters. However, when the sea comes from the south, it can be rougher. The wreck also has a periodic and highly variable current, which usually flows due north.

The site is dived year round.

Get in
The site is only accessible by boat

See
The wreck has a number of features which divers can look out for:
 * The condenser is the deepest part of the wreckage, at 85 feet/25 meters.
 * The propeller is the shallowest part of the wreck, at about 35 feet/11 meters. When built it was the largest in the world, and is so large that often divers swim across it without recognising it for what it is.  Snorkellers on the surface actually get a better overview.
 * Signalling canon, on the bow section near the mast.
 * "Lucky porthole", a porthole on the stern section which divers touch for luck, and as a result of which the brass has kept its shiny lustre.
 * Captain Wooley's teaspoon, on the stern section. Although unlikely to actually be the unfortunate Captain's spoon, a teaspoon is nonetheless embedded in the coral.

Marine life
The Rhone has been a protected marine preserve for nearly 50 years, which has had a predictable effect on the burgeoning marine life. Nurse sharks, spiny lobster, dog snappers, stingrays, Goliath grouper and moray eels are some of the more commonly seen mega-fauna. Turtles are also commonly seen, and there are reported to be two very shy sea horses living under the very tip of the bow.

Photography
Macro, wide angle, and anything in between. Artificial lighting will bring back the true colour.

Plan
The Rhone is normally dived as a two tank dive, although divers who have low consumption rates could conceivable do the entire wreck on a single tank. The deeper bow section is normally dived first, followed by the shallower stern section.

Stay safe
The Rhone is a relatively safe wreck. Having been blown open by the explosion which sunk it, there are relatively few entrapment hazards. The only real swim through is in the main part of the bow section, but the openings are large and roomy, and light is visible from both ends. Even the most claustrophobic diver ought to be comfortable swimming through.

Because the wreck is a marine preserve, no fishing lines or nets are on the wreckage to present an entanglement hazard.

Skills
Good buoyancy control recommended. Specialist wreck diver training is not necessary.

Amazing Prague in Czech Republic by Old Prague Hostel... http://www.oldpraguehostel.com http://www.praguesquarehostel.com http://www.praguecentralhostels.com WE ALL LOVE PRAGUE AND WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE... Prague is packed with history and charisma. The sights are well kept and certainly arent a let down. The prices are still cheap and accomodation is very good. The food is cheap as hell and extremely good quality....The castle offers great views of the city while Charles Bridge always seems to have performers and exhibitions on to keep you entertained. This city is a sheer delight and is a must for anyone serious about travelling Europe...

History of Prague by Lejla

Prague was one of the most beautiful European cities since the Middle Ages and has had many nicknames as “ City of 100 towers”, “ Heart of the Europe”, “ Golden Prague”. First mentions about initial inhabitants of Vltava valley goes to very deep history, when Celtic tribe come in 500 BC. The history of the city goes back to the foundation of Prague Castle by Borivoj in 870 AD. After 894 it became the main seat of the oldest ruling dynasty of the state Bohemia, the Premyslid princes (Premyslovci). The first to leave a written record of the existence of a busy commercial centre and settlement below Prague Castle was the Arab-Jewish merchant Ibrahim Jakub, who visited Prague in 965 or 966 and described it as a town "built of stone and mortar". Charles IV and his Golden Age During the epoch of the Czech king and emperor Charles IV(1346 – 1378) Prague had flourished. Charles IV was very intelligent and educated, therefore lead the Czech land to the top of economic and cultural bloom. Prague was promoted to emperor residence, and political centre of Europe. In the start of his reign, in 1348, founded High school – The Charles university, where came youth of all Europe. He also founded first Student College – Carolinum (1366). Charles IV established the New Town. He appointed Matyas from Arras to conduct the built of cathedral of Saint Vitus in the style of top Gothic, which was finished by Petr Parler. Petr Parler conduct other magnifies buildings such as are Bridge Tower, Tyn church, church of All Saints. Charles was initiator of building of the Charles Bridge, which replaced Judith bridges (swept away by the flood) The Charles bridge had no sculptures in the time of its building and is work of builder Petr Parler. Charles IV founded castle Carlstejn, which is near Prague upon river Berounka.

Ferdinand the Roman Catholic Habsburg was elected King of Bohemia (1526) and the Kingdom of Bohemia became part of the Habsburg monarchy and after the defeat of the first anti-Habsburg uprising of the Bohemian Estates (1547) the Prague Towns people lost a large part of their property and political privileges. But it was a period when culture flourished thanks to the personality and court of the art-loving Emperor Rudolph II. (1576-1612) who moved his seat to Prague in 1583 and endowed Prague's galleries with the best Mannerist art in Europe and invited the respected astrologist Tycho de Brahe and Johannes Kepler and other famous scientists. . In that time Rudolph II founded his famous collection of Arts. There were created buildings and monuments. The Royal Garden-the garden was built in 1534 and embellished during the time of Rudolf II and Ball Hall is its part. Golden Lane - Little houses from the 16th century, behind the St. George’s Basilica, where used to live emperor’s alchemists. Rabbi Jehuda Löw ben Becael was said that invented an artificial man – called Golem, who is still hidden on the field on the Old –New Synagogue, by the legend. Rudolph was more interested in science and arts then in politics so it led to revolts and his brother Matthias took the reign. Rudolph II issued Majestat in 1609 - free faith of Czech non-Catholic walks. Rudolph II is buried in a tomb in the St. Vitus Cathedral. Prague 1918-1989 • After the independence and foundation of the Czechoslovac Republic, Dr. Tomas Garrique Masaryk becomes the first Czech President. • 1920 The National Assembly carried the first Constitution • 1938 Mnichov agreement – Czech had to renounce Soudets • 1939 Started II.World war, Prague – capital of Nazi Protectorate Bohemia and Moravia • 1945 liberation by the American and Soviet army, Dr. Edvard Benes – president • 1948 the February putsch seizure power of KSC • 1960 foundation of the Czechoslovak socialistic republic • 1968 Prague Spring - an attempt to reform socialism, intervention of 5 states of the Warsaw Pact • 1989 Velvet revolution, formation of the government of national tolerance, Vaclav Havel elected the president

In 2007 the entrance fees to the Prague historical places of interest, museums and galleries are usually between 50 to 120 CZK, some of the private museums are more expensive. The admission fee charged at some of the largest and most significant historical sites such as the Prague Castle (350 CZK) and the Jewish Museum (290 CZK) appears to be rather high. However the ticket is valid for visits to several places and it makes it very cheap. All the fees can be reduced because of the system discounts etc. Some of the places allow free admission on one of the days in a month. Avoid!!

First of all I would like to say that Prague is SAFE place. Only thing is that a lot of people are trying to make money by cheating.

Taxi drivers - Never take TAXI standing at main turistic places! Trainstations, Old Town Sq...they are waiting for you to charge you more. Ask for price first. Use some companies like AAA tel: 14014, City taxi tel: 257257257 Approx prices...from Airport...cca 600czk to city centre from Main Train St (Hlavni Nadrazi)...cca 200czk...its really close to city center from Holesovice train station...cca 350czk to city centre All mentioned prices are approx all depends on traffic and where you go in the center but differences from mentioned prices would be 10th of Crowns, NOT hundreds!

Money exchange - never change money in the street, youll get fake or different country money with no value! Use banks or exchange offices and ask for final value you get! Again avoid offices at the trainstations, airport...

Pickpockets - Just watch your pockets, mainly in crowdy places, trams, metro...do not hang your cameras, jackets over chair in outside restaurants.

Otherwise its peaceful and safe city!!!!!!!!

My wife and I have visited the Greek islands on a regular basis since 1979 and have developed a deep affection for the people and their culture. Because we have visited the islands so many times now I have built up an extensive collection of images which I decided to develop and include a page on my website (http://www.lesgoldingphotography.co.uk) and to add new images and islands on a regular basis.

To date we have visited Crete (four times), Santorini (five times), Kephalonia, Rhodes, Kos, Cyprus (twice), Lesbos, Corfu, Skiathos, Naxos, Paros.

I grew up on the East Coast of Canada, in Montreal. It's a great city to grow up in, but I feel so fortunate to be living in what we call "God's Country", Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

My father instilled in me the belief that you can do whatever you set your mind to and I have had several different experiences because of that belief.

I have had a variety of careers including years working in dental offices, ranching, and main profession, dance, health and fitness

I have danced all my life and had many wonderful years teaching children and adults Ballet and Irish Dance in my school, Leslie Cameron Dance School.

I left all of that behind when my husband and I moved to B.C a few years ago .After the death of my mother, my sister was also diagnosed with ALS disease.

We knew she didn't have long, so we moved to be closer to family. It was a decision I'll never regret.

I was really ready to find a new career and decided to start with an online travel business. That was my first introduction to this wonderful world of connecting with and helping people.

I have since branched out and am on a constant learning and growing curve.

I love self education and personal development so that I can continue to teach and inspire others to be their best.

I work hard for a few hours each day so that I can have time for family, friends, and just enjoy all that life has to offer.

I truly believe that life is a balance of work, play, love and laughter. Loving our fellow man is of utmost importance to me.

I am still involved in Health and Fitness and Dance. I teach Irish Dance and Dance Fitness part time, as well as taking several dance and yoga classes myself.

We now live in a beautiful home on the ocean. I have 2 beautiful children, two beautiful stepchildren and a partner I love dearly. Family and friends are really important to me. We love to vacation together as a family and my husband and I do a lot of travelling with our business.

I am very proud to be a member of Rotary International with my husband. We do a lot of community work locally and Internationally.

Last year I was fortunate enough to travel to Africa build relationships and visit our Rotary humanitarian projects there.

I love to meet people who are positive- who see the glass as half full and see the best in other people. I love people who give back to the world in whatever way they choose.

I love dancing, yoga, travelling, reading, walking on the beach, music, swimming in the ocean, quiet nights by the fire, horseback riding, skiing, skating, travelling, world and community service, personal development and spiritual growth, gardening, cruising, spa treatments and mineral pools, natural hotsprings, hot tubs and helping to make the world a better place.

This brings me to tell you the reason I am here. I struggled and worked hard to understand this whole "internet world". I am used to telling it like it is and being straight up.

In Rotary, there is a 4-Way Test for conducting yourself at home and in your community, whether it be in your back yard or in another continent:

1. Is it The Truth?

2. Is it Fair to All Concerned?

3. Will it Build Goodwill and Better Friendship?

4. Will it be Beneficial to All Concerned?

I have learned the hard way, more than once, that some people are not that way. I have bought into many businesses, only to learn that I was really just a commodity to my sponsor.

I have trusted people { as I still do } who have destroyed that trust by not being honest and straight up about who they are.

I have spent thousands on businesses that failed and lost over $100,000 in investments involving dishonest people.

You need to know as a consumer what's good out there and what isn't, and how to recognize that.. I want to help you make Good Choices on the internet.

I will never tell you that if you do this or that, you will make $10,000 this week or this month! I WILL tell you what I have learned from experience that DOES work.

I will be straight up in all my reviews based on personal experience and physical proof.

My site is about telling it like it is.

Raised in Vermont, but I am currently living in San Diego California. I am a tour manager with California Motorsport Adventours, a leading off road tour company based out of San Diego.

I am on Wikivoyage mainly to talk about the company, but to also share my experience traveling through Baja. With the company, I frequently travel through Baja Calfornia Norte. Traveling into Tijuana, Rosarito, Puerto Nuevo, La Mision, Ojos Negros, Valle de Guadalupe, and down to San Felipe.

California Motorsport Adventours does both single day and longer multiple day excursions into the Puerto Nuevo area of Baja. Our longer tours go out to Tecate and down to San Felipe. All tours can be customized.

While we specialize in off road tours, quads and dirt bikes, we also do destination management through SASVE International. We have organized adventure trips through Costa Rica, to Cabos San Lucas, and are working on many proposals to places like Copper Canyon and further into the heart of mainland Mexico.

Our off road tours cater to all walks of people; from family groups, friends, couples, single riders, bachelors, and large corporate groups.
