spanish forkOne of my favorite places to visit in Utah county are the Spanish Fork Hot Springs or Fifth Water Hot Springs.  I have done this trip in the winter and summer. Both seasons make it a very different experience.  During the summer, the hike is about 2 and a half miles (about an hour), its an enjoyable hike that does not much in elevation and follows a rolling stream.

Mannermobile RV

October 16, 2009 :: Posted by - TravelPro :: Category - Getting from here to there, Traveling Technology

This new German mobile home, called the Mannermobile RV, was constructed to appeal to men and not women. Inside this “boys only” tin can, you will find a Wii, Playstation 3, two flat panel TV’s, two different surround sound systems, a man-friendly kitchen which features a microwave, coffee maker, and various liquor dispensers.

More entertainment is available in the mobile which comes from satellite TV, Internet access, and even a Blu-ray player.

There is a shower, but it doesn’t work. After all, real men don’t need to shower, but if they do, a sign on the mirror reminds men that “real men shower outdoors”. The actual shower is located outside, on the rear of the RV.

Outside is also where you’ll find a grill, fold-out Foosball table and dart board.

You will for sure be decked out man-style with this bad boy!
