<title>Decorated Grottoes of the Vézère Valley</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The Vézère valley contains 147 prehistoric sites
    dating from the Palaeolithic and 25 decorated caves. It is
    particularly interesting from an ethnological and
    anthropological, as well as an aesthetic point of view because
    of its cave paintings, especially those of the Lascaux Cave,
    whose discovery in 1940 was of great importance for the history
    of prehistoric art. The hunting scenes show some 100 animal
    figures, which are remarkable for their detail, rich colours
    and lifelike quality.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/6297">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        Patagonia & The Falkland Islands
        ]]>
        </title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Though I've been to Chile & Argentina, I've not been to the southern parts of either country.  Patagonia, near the 45th parallel, has a near identical climate to the Pacific NW I love so much.  The difference though is that all the seasons are directly backward from the northern hemisphere and there is considerably less civilization there.  
The Falkland Islands appeal to me for entirely different reasons.  I just like the idea of a little Brittish, English-speaking society so totally isolated on an island group off the coast of Argentina.  Apparently the place is important enough that England and Argentina actually got into a war about who owned it.  I also love the fact that residents refer to anywhere on the island outside of Stanley (the biggest town there) "Camp."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/46833">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Ajanta Caves</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        The first Buddhist cave monuments at Ajanta date
    from the 2nd and 1st centuries B.C. During the Gupta period
    (5th and 6th centuries A.D.), many more richly decorated caves
    were added to the original group. The paintings and sculptures
    of Ajanta, considered masterpieces of Buddhist religious art,
    have had a considerable artistic influence.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/6403">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Tartaruga Maritima</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        "The tiny, tucked-away Tartaruga Maritima tent camp is in the extreme south, close to the South African border. Getting there requires a 370-mile drive on good roads from Johannesburg: Camp staff will collect you at the border, where it's safe to leave your vehicle. Set on a gorgeous Indian Ocean beach, the eight comfortable, airy tents have en suite bathrooms and decks (27-11-728-4942" Conde Nast May 2006<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/222726">Map this on Platial</a><br />

        "Benguerra Lodge, on the island of the same name in the stunning Bazaruto Archipelago, 390 miles from Maputo. Set in a national park, its thatched bungalows are built on stilts, just a coconut's throw from the sea. Diversions include world-class diving, ocean fly-fishing, and a boat ride to remote Pansy Island, where pansy shells (similar to sand dollars) lie scattered on the sand like so many fossilized flowers (27-11-452-0641" Conde Nast May 2006<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/222787">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Old Kane Spring Road - Wilderness Camping, BLM Lands, and UFO Activity</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        Located off Hwy 86, 14.5 miles north of Westmoreland, California, Kane Spring is a known illegal smuggler's drop off/pick up spot. In early 2000's, a dozen illegals were found dead from exposure in the bushes along Hwy 86.  If you take Old Kane Spring road West by South West you'll have BLM lands on the left and designated preserve land on the right (north).  4x4 preferred, but a 4x2 can make it if staying on the road. In 1999, 2 witnesses confirmed blue-black F-18's without lights and subsequent UFO activity traversing from Coyote Mountains, over Superstition Hills, of an "invisible" craft heading East by SouthEast over US Navy proving grounds.  Totally dry. Water mandatory. Morning and evening haze can set in and confuse navigation. Bring a whistle if hiking in case separated from group.  If lost, go east towards Salton Sea and will eventually hit Hwy 86. Good rock hounding, lots of fossilized oyster shells. Several washes, (don't camp in these!). This area documented as being the region where a Spanish Pearl Expedition from Mazatlan met its demise in the early 1600's. Rumors and legends of Ghost Ship(s). Great place for bonfires and general noise making. Minimal spiny cactus makes this a good biking/hiking/off-road region, but beware of soft sand.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/85199">Map this on Platial</a><br />

<title>Ghost Town at Kaya Koyu</title>
<description>
        <![CDATA[
        This entire town of some 200+ buildings has lain abandoned since 1923 when the Turks expelled the Greek inhabitants.
An eerily quiet place, and strangely moving.
Also close by you will find some lycean rock tombs, though not particularly elaborate.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.platial.com/post/898971">Map this on Platial</a><br />
