In Issue Seven of JRNY, we embark on a journey across the United States, providing you with a glimpse of the diverse offerings this country has. Our featured story is all about the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) festival in San Antonio, Texas. Renowned for the historic 1836 Battle of the Alamo, Claire Dodd immerses herself in the city to take part in the vibrant and emotionally charged celebrations of the Day of the Dead. We take a deep dive into the dynamic and unexpected culinary offerings of Minneapolis and traverse the picturesque byways of Idaho, leading us to the Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve. In Oregon, we shift our focus from its renowned coast to explore the ever-changing landscapes of the east. The mesmerizing and diverse terrains spanning the United States are what captivate many, and our journey includes an exploration of Utah and Colorado aboard the Rocky Mountaineer. Venturing beneath the surface, we discover the equally captivating subterranean scenery in Alabama. Meanwhile, in New England, we navigate the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, gaining a unique perspective on the northeastern states. This issue also features Virginia's Chesapeake Bay, the Florida Keys, and captivating photo essays showcasing the transformation of Seattle, the coastal allure of Monterey County, the expansive landscapes of the Great American West, and the abundant outdoor charms of New York State.
