Since I can't travel much anymore, I like to use the resources at hand. I like to look at my travel atlas especially when Wes uses real locations in his stories. Also, I frequently read articles about places and things mentioned in the stories. Over the years I've learned many interesting things about dog sledding, airplanes, the Grand Canyon and many other things.
