Traveling with PugsleyTonks
What is Traveling with PugsleyTonks all about?? My goal is the pursuit of that little slice of Americana. It's not big name or high-cost tourism. PugsleyTonks likes to find that diamond in the rough or go to the out of the way small town. I want to visit the oldest bar in every state with hopes that they serve some PBR on tap. Find that unique "ma-pa" restaurant with an interesting blue collar atmosphere and large portions to match. Or, perhaps its as simple as a little walkabout in the city to discover that strange little statue or other oddities. So, please come and join me in my search for Americana. Discover some obscure attraction or learn some useless information. All are welcome and its really just good, clean travel fun. PT

It’s all about GATORLAND
Don’t bother with Disney World.
Gatorland is interesting, interactive and you could see someone lose a hand.
PugsleyTonks found the von Trapps
Wearing mostly shorts and carrying no supplies, they crossed over the Swiss alps. Clearly, a survival feat that would make Bear Grylls proud.
