THE LOCAL TOURIST
Welcome to The Local Tourist. Experience the fascination of a tourist; feel the comfort of the local. The Local Tourist digs deep into destinations with passion and insight, focusing on culture, history, the great outdoors, and tips on how to enjoy it all. ULTIMATE ROAD TRIP PLANNER 6. Emergency Roadside Kit. If you have a car, this is a must whether you’re going on a road trip or not! (Say yes, mom.) There are various kits available, but at the bare minimum you’ll want to have jumper cables, a flashlight, flares or triangle reflectors, extra washer fluid, and some basic tools. 7. SAVE MONEY ON A ROAD TRIP: 38 WAYS TO SPEND LESS 33. AAA/AARP. In addition to getting paper maps and using their TripTik service to help plan your trip, AAA offers discounts at many hotels, attractions, rental car agencies, and restaurants.

TONOPAH, NEVADA: THE TOWN THAT’S SO IN-CLINED And that’s how we came to visit Tonopah (TOE-nuh-pah), Nevada. This is part of our EPIC Southwest USA road trip from the Chicago-area to San Diego and back! The drive from Bishop was a short 117 miles through a desolate land of black hills that took us just shy of two hours. This was nothin’. DRIVING BEARTOOTH HIGHWAY When compared to epic road trips like Route 66 or the Pacific Coast Highway, Beartooth Highway is a hop, skip, and a jump. However, don’t let its short mileage fool you. This scenic drive packs a lot into its 68.7 miles. The late Charles Kuralt called it “the most beautiful drive in America.”. It’s also one of the most dangerousroutes
TOURING SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN WINERIES, BREWERIES, AND MORE Touring Southwest Michigan Wineries, Breweries, and More. See why this region should be on any foodie, wine-lover, and beer-fan’s itinerary. A mental image of Southwest Michigan conjures up a land of quaint towns, sandy beaches, and, on a clear day, a view of Chicago across the lake. It’s a destination worthy of day trips, weekendgetaways

WHAT IT'S LIKE TO FLY IN A B-17 FLYING FORTRESS Flying in a B-17 qualifies. Known as the Flying Fortress, the B-17 is a World War II-era heavy bomber. Over a span of nine years, between 1936 and 1945, Boeing produced 12,731 B-17s. To put that in perspective, as of July 31, 2019, Boeing has only delivered 10,559 units of their 737 since its first delivery fifty-two years prior. HOW TO USE GASBUDDY TO FIND THE BEST GAS PRICES GasBuddy is a website and an app for both iPhone and Android that lets you find gas prices in nearly real-time.

THE BEST BACON POTATO SALAD EVER Bring the water to a boil and let potatoes cook until they’re fork-tender, about 20 minutes.

SALVATION MOUNTAIN: A DETOUR-WORTHY DESTINATION It’s an exuberant patchwork quilt of paint and hope.
