The Wide, Wide West: Utah’s San Rafael Swell

By Tommy Barbeau on July 1, 2019

Each spring, Utah becomes the scene of one of the animal kingdom’s great annual migrations, as thousands of Colorado ski-town locals descend from their snowbound winter ranges in search of warm desert climes. If you’ve been to Moab on a busy weekend in recent years, you’ve do doubt seen this phenomenon, characterized by massive herds of sightseers, mountain bikers, dirt bikers and other off-road enthusiasts.

On our last trip to Moab, my family and I had to drive around for two hours looking for a vacant campsite until we finally found a barely suitable one miles up a dirt road outside of town. Then, when we went for a hike to a swimming hole I remembered fondly from years ago, we were forced to contend with hordes of drunken twenty-somethings carting cases of beer to the site.

The San Rafael Swell, a 70 by 40-mile geologic upheaval located in southeastern UT, has been cut, shaped, and formed over thousands of years into a crazy assembly of sandstone buttresses, canyons, and plateaus.

Head to Head: Dildos vs Vibrators

By Tommy Barbeau on August 31, 2020

It’s no secret that the world of sex toys always relied on these two phallic products. Both the dildos and vibrators are seen as supreme leaders once it comes to self-pleasure. Seeing how they appear to lurk from every corner these days, it’s pretty normal to see them as competitors for the throne. But have you ever really wondered which one was the best sex toy?
