In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there was a futuristic and popular "UFO" village in the Wanli district of Taiwan. Most of the flying saucer houses have been abandoned, creating an eerie UFO graveyard.

The Chosin Frozen:



During the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in 1950, U.S. Marines called for more "Tootsie Rolls" which was the code for 60mm mortar ammo. A radio operator was unfamiliar with the code, so the Marines instead received a large airdrop of the chewy candy. However, the Marines welcomed the treats because they needed a bit of an energy boost. They also found that Tootsie Rolls were useful for plugging bullet holes in their equipment. =AZWY1HcocvCRyTqXGV0wQ2R2Sb9RQswlL3jxx1QeDjc5Msy-9O7UyU0lipeHa-n8ylbbgkDFTmzrNV3O5_EaaJBsnub5wvw0x1JWdqQnzoGy2CGJiUNDLpVuqJxxB5dKtgovskN-PiuqMyOfIkEBFu86G56-H3xuA9YVe8SViz5ISr3yLfi7cempeerZ5NZZPuqM7Y6riWR5Z7-pGcTbK6Uu&__tn__=*NK*F"][color=var(--primary-text)]#nationaltootsierollday[/iurl][/font][/size][/color]

Yellowstone National Park was established as the United States’ first national park in 1872. To celebrate its 150th year, National Geographic has published a series of photos captured over that time of what is often called America’s Wonderland.

It is truly a beautiful place. I have a cousin who is a chef at Yellowstone Park Lodge. My wife and I visited him and the Park a few years ago (pre kids) and it is amazing.

It is almost unbelievable such a place could exist in nature, I think, it's so varied and unique.

back in the 80s/90s History Channel had on the Docu themed REAL WEST with Kenny Rogers narrating.They did segments on the Mountain Men/Trappers/Exporers Lewis & Clark.Any way when they'd all return after a couple of years attempting to describe the wonders they saw to civilization - guysers,glaziers,waterfalls,mountains,valleys,meadows filled with massive buffalo,Elk,Grizzly Bears,cougars - all turrible beasts.They were panned as story tellers and bullshit artists
