This Thanksgiving, Full Planes to Go With Full Plates

With about 30 million travelers expected to jam U.S. airports this year and storms in the forecast, you may want to take an extra helping of patience, too.

• Share full article

By Steven Moity

A government shutdown won’t be disrupting travel plans this Thanksgiving after Congress agreed on Wednesday to a funding package that lasts through early next year. But clouds and crowds might make your trip a slog anyway.

The Transportation Security Administration expects about 30 million passengers to fly between this Friday and the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, an 11.5 percent increase over the same period last year.

The weather won’t make the Thanksgiving crush any easier. Weekend storms in New England and low clouds and rain on the California coast could cause some delays. And Monday through Wednesday morning, a strong cold front will move eastward, slowing operations at airline hubs like Houston and Chicago before soaking the East Coast, said Paul Pastelok, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather.

If you haven’t booked your trip already, average airfare prices are slightly lower than they were in 2019, said Melanie Fish, head of public relations at Expedia Brands, and you can really save time and money if you fly on Thanksgiving Day.

“According to Expedia data, flying on Thanksgiving Day is 11 percent cheaper than average for the week of Thanksgiving, but here’s the real kicker — it’s almost half as busy compared to the day before Thanksgiving,” Ms. Fish said.

The four major New York City-area airports run by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey are expecting 3.1 million passengers from this Monday through the Monday after Thanksgiving, up slightly from three million over the same period last year, said Seth Stein, spokesman for the Port Authority.

Those planning to crowd the streets of Manhattan — instead of the airports — for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade can expect the giant balloons to be flying high: The forecast calls for very little wind, Mr. Pastelok said, and the day will be sunny and chilly, with temperatures topping out in the mid-40s.

On the ground

AAA predicts that 49.1 million Americans will drive to their destinations for Thanksgiving, an increase of 1.7 percent compared with 2022, said Robert Sinclair Jr., a senior manager at AAA. That means jammed highways, with the busiest days forecast to be this Wednesday and the Sunday after Thanksgiving.

Drivers may face longer travel times than usual on certain routes, AAA reported . Along Interstate 5 between Los Angeles and Bakersfield, Calif., expect to spend 88 percent more travel time than usual on Wednesday afternoon. Drivers on the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, north of the nation’s capital, are projected to spend 71 percent more time on the road, starting early Wednesday afternoon.

Filling up the tank will cost those drivers less. Average gas prices nationwide are projected to drop to $3.25 per gallon next week, said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy . “Average gas prices have plummeted in all 50 states in the weeks ahead of Thanksgiving, with $2.99 prices spreading like wildfire just in time for the start of the holiday season,” he said in a news release .

Americans are also taking to the rails at higher numbers this year, with Amtrak expecting 750,000 customers from this Sunday until the Sunday after Thanksgiving, said Jason Abrams, senior public relations manager at Amtrak, a jump of about 2 percent.

Mr. Sinclair of AAA had a bit of advice for all the Thanksgiving road warriors: Beat the Sunday traffic by driving on Saturday. “For those who listen to Ben Franklin,” Mr. Sinclair said, “Fish and company go bad after three days.”

The 10 Best Travel Rock Songs

via The Beatles/YouTube

Whether you’re travelling by a plane, train, or a bus, don’t you just love it when you listen to a song that talks about the journey you’re going through? We listed down ten of the best rock songs that were written about moving from one place to the other. Take a look below.

10. “Ramble On” – Led Zeppelin From: Led Zeppelin II (1969) The epic journey portrayed draws influence from J.R.R Tolkien’s works. Robert Plant sings that “time has come to be gone” as he embarks on his quest to find his “love so fair.”

9. “City of New Orleans” – Arlo Guthrie From: Hobo’s Lullaby (1972) In 1972, the folk-rocking offspring of Woody Guthrie had a radio smash. Chicago-based singer-songwriter Steve Goodman wrote it about traveling by train. “Good morning, America, how are ya?” is Guthrie’s sweet refrain, and his honeyed voice is laced with joy.

8. “Midnight Rider” – The Allman Brothers Band From: Idlewild South (1970) The song is co-written and sung by Gregg Allman, is one of the greatest Outlaw songs. The song shows a man on the run since he has few other options. Even though he is down to his last cent, “The road continues on forever.”

7. “The Passenger” – Iggy Pop From: Lust for Life (1977) We are given a tour of Berlin’s S-Bahn rapid transit system by Iggy Pop. He successfully catches the enchanted ambiance of a city at midnight. The song was produced in Germany by David Bowie, along with the rest of Pop’s “Lust for Life” album.

6. “Jet Airliner” – Steve Miller Band From: Book of Dreams (1977) This song was originally written by Paul Pena and later taken by Steve Miller and his band. Miller sings and plays the funky guitar riff as he describes his journey to the 707 while struggling with the decision of whether to stay at home or leave the nest. The lyrics are frequently contradictory as a result.

5. “Proud Mary” – Creedence Clearwater Revival From: Bayou Country (1969) John Fogerty’s “Proud Mary” is a quintessentially American song about a working man’s life on a riverboat leaving New Orleans. Ol’ Ludwig was well known for having a good time on the Rhine.

4. “Open All Night” – Bruce Springsteen From: Nebraska (1982) The song describes the singer’s early trip through the New Jersey Turnpike in order to go back to his girl. According to Springsteen, “This New Jersey in the morning is like a lunar landscape.”

3. “Tangled Up in Blue” – Bob Dylan From: Blood on the Tracks (1975) Dylan changed the song from the first person to the third person in concert, and said it allowed him greater freedom to express himself. He later commented on the freedom of writing this way: “You’ve got yesterday, today and tomorrow all in the same room, and there’s very little you can’t imagine happening.”

2. “Born to Be Wild” – Steppenwolf From: Steppenwolf (1968) The 1968 riff-rock song “Born to Be Wild” was heavily featured in the film “Easy Rider.” Since then, the song has become inextricably linked to images of roving motorcycles. Steppenwolf’s song was created by bandmate Mars Bonfire specifically for them.

1. “America” – Simon & Garfunkel From: Bookends (1968) Simon’s song follows two young lovers as they take the journey from Michigan to New York City. Simon’s unrhymed blank verse lyrics follow the travelers as they go from idealistic optimism to realistic frustration. While searching for America, the voyage goes on, the friendship develops, and these individuals learn more about themselves.

Gone winter rockhounding in Washington state? You can find agates, fossils, gemstones

Posted: November 26, 2023 | Last updated: November 26, 2023

Nov. 25—Washington state is a hotbed for minerals, gemstones, crystals and fossils, making the Evergreen state a popular site for rockhounding.

Whether in an official group or going solo, rockhounding is the act of searching for and collecting them.

Rockhounding is legal in Washington for certain materials. The material guidelines will depend on where you are: federal land, land managed by the Department of Natural Resources or private land.

In winter, rockhounds tend to visit Washington's beaches to look along the shore or anywhere a river meets the sea.

WA DNR-managed land

The Department of Natural Resources manages two kinds of land that allow rockhounding, state-owned aquatic land and state trust land.

Rockhounding is allowed on these lands under non-commercial circumstances, including recreation, research and education. Individuals can hunt for rocks without a permit, groups need a non-exclusive land-use license.

Rock enthusiasts cannot bring mechanized equipment or explosives for the process. DNR must retain access to the area. Special habitats should be avoided.

If interested in gold panning, you need authorization on state-owned aquatic lands. It is not allowed on state trust lands. You cannot rockhound for gold on DNR lands.

Federal land

Some land owned by the federal government allows rockhounding. Sometimes, it is restricted to one area of federal land. Either way, the land will be managed by either the U.S. Forest Service or the Bureau of Land Management.

Guidelines and restrictions will vary from one place to the next, so call a local agency before making a trip.

In general, land managed by the U.S. Forest Service, like the Umatilla National Forest, allows a reasonable collection of rocks and minerals for personal, hobby and noncommercial use. Generally, "reasonable" is defined as up to 10 pounds. Some hobby mining activities also are allowed.

Rockhounding is permissible in many Bureau of Land Management areas with no permit required. Similarly, it allows for a reasonable amount, defined as up to 25 pounds a day and 250 pounds per year, of common fossils, gemstones and certain other materials for personal use.

The Bureau of Land Management manages the Horse Heaven Hills area and the Saddle Mountains.

You are expected to know the regulations for rockhounding in a specific area before arriving. It will be prohibited in some areas and motorized equipment is generally not allowed.

Rockhounding is never allowed at:

* National parks

* National monuments

* National wildlife refuges

* National scenic areas

* Tribal lands

Rockhounding on private land

A property owner can obtain mineral rights to the property, giving them the right to collect minerals found on their property and grant the same right to whoever they choose.

Check your property deed or with the county assessor's office to determine if your property came with mineral rights.

You cannot rockhound on private property without the owner's permission.

Rockhounding in WA during winter

Some rockhounds just can't take time off. Though many popular recreational areas have limited access in the winter, that hasn't stopped enthusiasts from finding rare rocks and minerals in the Evergreen state during cold seasons.

In recent years, the rockhounding community has grown online, with websites and forums dedicated to the hobby, enthusiasts posting on social media and new digital spaces for sharing tips and tricks. In each platform, Washington rockhounds rave about one type of location during the winter months: beaches.

Washington has many beaches, dotting the coastline or within the state borders. When winter comes around, these beaches endure storms and crashing waves moving at high speeds.

These storms tend to move around more dense rocks and minerals, littering the sand and gravel with fine materials. Hitting an Evergreen state beach the morning after a winter storm is a great way to look for any rocks or minerals you haven't collected yet. Gravel bars along rivers are also recommended for this.

Washington beaches popular among rockhounds:

* Crescent Beach

* Dungeness River gravel

* Long Beach/Ocean Park

* Moclips area beaches

* Shi Shi Beach

* Columbia River sands

What you can, can't rockhound

Once you've established the property-specific rules, be sure to remember the basic rules of what you can and can't take. If the property rules don't address a specific material, refer to these guidelines. Collecting material without permission can come with a substantial fine.

You CAN rockhound:

* Amethysts

* Gold (Rockhounding, not panning)

* Invertebrate fossils, like the state gemstone petrified wood

Without a permit, you CANNOT rockhound:

* Meteorites

* Vertebrate fossils

* Archeological or historic artifacts

Permits for these permissions are granted for scientific purposes only, according to DNR. If you find one, contact the local agency office.

Kolomenskoye

Kolomenskoye Museum and Park

The chief attraction of the park is undoubtedly the stone Church of the Ascension of the Lord.

Kuskovo Park is one of the oldest country estates in Moscow. It was given to General Sheremetev by Peter the Great in 1715, but was left to fall into neglect before being plundered by Napoleon’s troops in 1812. Nowadays the estate has been restored to its former glory and is a good example of Russian 18th Century imperial architecture. The palace is a fine and rare example of wooden neoclassicism. It was completed in 1775, and the rich interiors remain unchanged since 1779.

Let’s start with a bit Traveling Wilburys, these guys know how to make your trip more pleasant with a song.

1. Traveling Wilburys – End Of The Line

Well it’s all right, riding around in the breeze Well it’s all right if you live the life you please Well it’s all right, doing the best you can Well it’s all right, as long as you lend a hand

You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring (End of the Line) Waiting for someone to tell you everything (End of the Line) Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring (End of the Line) Maybe a diamond ring

2. A Thousand Miles – Vanessa Carlton

If I could fall into the sky Do you think time would pass me by? ‘Cause you know I’d walk a thousand miles If I could just see you tonight

It’s always times like these When I think of you And I wonder if you ever think of me ‘Cause everything’s so wrong And I don’t belong Living in your precious memory

‘Cause I need you And I miss you And now I wonder

3. Kongos – Traveling On

So long my friend, my foe, my love, my pain The road’s calling out my name Dreaming of La Boheme Maybe I’ll go to Barbizon Or see a girl before she catches cold and she’s gone Or maybe I’ll just travel on Travel on

So long my flame, my warmth, my fear, my fight The road’s calling again tonight Dreaming under street lights Maybe I’ll catch a train to Rome See the world until I can’t go on Then maybe I’ll come traveling home

4. Travelling – Paper Lions

Travelling the road, last known is where I want to be My compass directing, electing, an open road with golden trees But there’s an old man in need on the ground, I try not to make a sound He holds out his hand as I walk away, I hear him say

Please don’t be a stranger in my place Traveling come to a tavern for a momentary rest I see the old man that I passed on the road in his distress As I turned to go I can hear him say, “Son, stay. Have a drink, I’ll pay.”

5. Peter, Paul, and Mary – Leaving on a Jet Plane.

So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you’ll wait for me Hold me like you’ll never let me go

I’m leavin’ on a jet plane I don’t know when I’ll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go

Now the time has come to leave you One more time let me kiss you Then close your eyes, I’ll be on my way

Dream about the days to come When I won’t have to leave alone About the time, I won’t have to say

6. John Denver – Take Me Home, Country Roads

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.

Country roads, take me home to the place I belong. West Virginia, mountain mamma, take me home, country roads.

All my memories gather round her, miner’s lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.

7. Passenger – Travelling Alone

This song is a very special one. It is about an old man traveling the world – missing his passed wife.

I included the video where Passenger explains the story behind the traveling song.

Australian man, Scandinavian tan, Kicking stones round a square. Sat for a while and carved out a smile, As if someone would care.

Said I’m a long way from the Gold Coast. Furthest I’ve ever known, Oh and this just ain’t my home. It was my wife’s idea, but she’s no longer here. She left me travelling alone.

I never heard silence ring out like a bell. I never heard silence like last night in my expensive hotel. Well, I’m loving a shadow, I’m trying to catch the rain. But I never heard silence ’til I heard it today.

She walked out of the hotel, I could still smell the smoke of the burning heart left inside. She said men are all assholes And life’s a bad joke. She laughed and started to cry.

This is the full song and the official video:

8. Ricky Nelson – Travelin’ Man 1961

I’m a travelin’ man Made a lot of stops all over the world And in every port I own the heart Of at least one lovely girl

I’ve a pretty Seniorita waiting for me Down in old Mexico If you’re ever in Alaska stop and see My cute little Eskimo

Oh, my sweet Fraulien down in Berlin town Makes my heart start to yearn And my China doll down in old Hong Kong Waits for my return

Pretty Polynesian baby, over the sea I remember the night When we walked in the sand of Waikiki And I held you, oh, so tight

9. BUDAPEST – George Ezra

My house in Budapest My, my hidden treasure chest Golden grand piano My beautiful Castillo

You Ooh, you Ooh, I’d leave it all

My acres of a land That I’ve achieved It may be hard for you to Stop and believe

10. Bright Eyes “First Day Of My Life”

This is the first day of my life Swear I was born right in the doorway I went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed They’re spreading blankets on the beach

Yours was the first face that I saw I think I was blind before I met you I don’t know where I am, I don’t know where I’ve been But I know where I want to go

And so I’d thought I’d let you know That these things take forever, I especially am slow But I realized that need you And I wondered if I could come home

11. Blaumut – Vent que mou el temps

T’imagino cap per avall, amb les cames a una branca i el teu cos, que es va gronxant, mentre cauen pensaments que es desprenen amb la força d’un got d’aigua a l’inrevés.

Un, dos, tres…, són les últimes gotes, i res més. Tres, dos, un…, s’evaporen i s’enfilen cap amunt, amunt, amunt, van tan amunt…

Que l’aire es torna vent, vent que mou el temps, temps que passa ràpid i fa empentes al present, present damunt del cap i el cap massa ocupat a no deixar-se res a les butxaques del passat. Vent que mou el temps.

12. Alvaro Soler – El Mismo Sol

Te digo claro claro No es nada raro raro Así se puede amor Un mundo enano enano Estamos mano a mano Solo hace falta el amor Se puede amor Yo quiero que este sea el mundo que conteste Del este hasta oeste Y bajo el mismo sol Ahora nos vamos Sí juntos celebramos Aquí todos estamos bajo el mismo sol Y bajo el mismo sol

13. Matt Simons – Catch & Release

There’s a place I go to Where no one knows me It’s not lonely It’s a necessary thing It’s a place I made up Find out what I’m made of The nights are stayed up Counting stars and fighting sleep Let it wash over me Ready to lose my feet

Take me on to the place where one reviews life’s mistery Steady on down the line Lose every sense of time Take it all in and wake up that small part of me Day to day I’m blind to see And find how far To go

Everybody got their reason Everybody got their way We’re just catching and releasing What builds up throughout the day

14. Ed Sheeran ft. Kygo – Running Away

I’ve known it for a long time Daddy wakes up to a drink at nine Disappearing all night I don’t wanna know where he’s been lying I know what I wanna do Wanna run away, run away with you Gonna grab clothes, six in the morning go

How long you leaving? Well, dad, just don’t expect me back this evening Oh, it could take a bit of time to heal this It’s been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but

I love him from my skin to my bones But I don’t wanna live in his home There’s nothing to say ’cause he knows I’ll just run away and be on my own

I’ve never seen my dad cry Cold as stone in the kitchen light I’ll tell you it’s about time But I was raised to keep quiet This is what I’m gonna do Gonna run away, gonna make that move Gonna grab clothes and when it’s morning go How long you leaving? Well, dad, just don’t expect me back this evening Oh, it could take a bit of time to heal this It’s been a long day, thumb on side of the roadway, but

15. American Authors – What We Live For

This is what I live for Baby, you’re my open road You can take me anywhere the wind blows Right into the great unknown We can throw our hands up out the window This is what we live for We look up at the stars, a perfect night to dream with you Got nineties retro on the radio, our favorite tune I put the pedal to the metal just to laugh with you It’s interstellar when it’s just us two

16. Tom Walker – Fly Away With Me

I’m strummin on the corner About to catch the last train home I’ll have to jump the barriers So can you spare a penny for my thoughts I’ve been praised upon the pavements Passers by don’t pay much Chased away by neighbours Seen things you couldnt make up If the streets could talk they’d tell a story or two I’ll paint a picture for you

I can tell you what it feels like To lose your home on a cold night Can you see the blood in my red eyes Have another total forget life So come on fly away with me To a place where we could be anyone we wanna be And we can bottle up our fears Grow a taste so sweet, knock us off our feet and more Burn our troubles Inhale them all Paint our future on a fractured wall So come on fly away with me To a place where we can be anyone we wanna be

19. Daft Punk – Around The World

Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world Around the world, around the world

20. Gorillaz – Feel Good Inc.

City’s breaking down on a camel’s back They just have to go ‘cause they don’t know whack So all you fill the streets, it’s appealin’ to see You won’t get out the county ‘cause you’re bad and free You got a new horizon, it’s ephemeral style A melancholy town where we never smile And all I wanna hear is the message beep

21. Ed Sheeran – Castle On The Hill

When I was six years old I broke my leg I was running from my brother and his friends And tasted the sweet perfume of the mountain grass I rolled down I was younger then, take me back to when I

Found my heart and broke it here Made friends and lost them through the years And I’ve not seen the roaring fields in so long, I know I’ve grown But I can’t wait to go home

I’m on my way Driving at ninety down those country lanes Singing to “Tiny Dancer” And I miss the way you make me feel, and it’s real We watched the sunset over the castle on the hill

22. CHANGE by Some Poetries

As long as I turn my face into the light

I leave dark things behind

It feels like

I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive for the first time

Just because we found each other

Just because we cross dark ways

Just because of the pretty face

One day baby, we’ll be old Oh baby, we’ll be old And think of all the stories that we could have told One day baby, we’ll be old

Oh baby, we’ll be old And think of all the stories that we could have told

No more tears, my heart is dry I don’t laugh and I don’t cry I don’t think about you all the time But when I do, I wonder why

25. Part-Time Friends – Here We Are

Something rise and fall We thought we never lost control Here we are Something rise and fall We thought we never lost control Here we are Silence Et si les vagues éteignent nos âmes Dans l’étourdissant vacarme Here we are Dansent les milles visages Dans ce si beau mirage Here we are Je t’emmène une dernière fois suivre cette lumière qui ne s’éteint pas Here we are Something rise and fall We thought we never lost control Here we are Something rise and fall We thought we never lost control Here we are

26. Jose Gonzalez – Step Out (from the movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty)

Dark as night, let the lightning guide you

Time to step outside, time to step outside Time to step outside you

House on fire, leave it all behind you. Living life, feeding appetites. Stayed through every hard stop, every go. Being bland Breathing half the time. House on fire, leave it all behind you. Dark as night, let the lightning guide you

27. Coldplay – Gravity

Baby It’s been a long time coming Such a long, long time And I can’t stop running Such a long, long time Can you hear my heart beating? Can you hear that sound? ‘Cause I can’t help thinking And I won’t stop now And then I looked up at the sun

And I could see Oh, the way that gravity pulls on you and me And then I looked up at the sky And saw the sun And the way that gravity pushes on everyone On everyone

Covid-19 Travel Songs

It is indeed tough times; for pretty much all of us. We extended this list for  favorite songs you can listen to when you are stuck at home due to lock-downs and restrictions.

O “Fly On” – Coldplay

A flock of birds Hovering above Just a flock of birds That’s how you think of love

And I always Look up to the sky Pray before the dawn ‘Cause they fly always Sometimes they arrive Sometimes they are gone

They fly on A flock of birds Hovering above Into smoke I’m turned and rise Following them up Still I always

Look up to the sky Pray before the dawn ‘Cause they fly always One minute they arrive

It’s Time – Imagine Dragons

So, this is what you meant? When you said that you were spent And now it’s time to build from the bottom of the pit Right to the top

Don’t hold back Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check I don’t ever wanna let you down I don’t ever wanna leave this town ‘Cause after all

This city never sleeps at night It’s time to begin, isn’t it? I get a little bit bigger, but then I’ll admit I’m just the same as I was

Now don’t you understand That I’m never changing who I am So this is where you fell And I am left to sell The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell

Right to the top Don’t look back Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check

Dani Martin – Cero (Spanish Song)

All what we saw has gone I dreamed that always I’d go by side That what we invented it’s not anymore Now just exists past

And it’s time for me to understand What I do with your hugs Now it’s time to learn How to stop loving To know how to erase it well And how It comes it gone That today it’s ZERO

I want That everything starts all over again That everything turn back That everything comes from Zero From zero

And I want that everything sounds again That everything shines again That everything comes from zero From zero

Original Lyrics in Spanish:

Quiero… Que todo vuelva a empezar Que todo vuelva a girar Que todo venga de cero De cero

Y quiero que todo vuelva a sonar Que todo vuelva a brillar Que todo venga de cero De cero

Queen – We Are The Champions

I’ve paid my dues Time after time I’ve done my sentence But committed no crime

And bad mistakes I’ve made a few I’ve had my share of sand Kicked in my face But I’ve come through And we mean to go on and on and on and on We are the champions, my friends And we’ll keep on fighting till the end

We are the champions We are the champions No time for losers ‘Cause we are the champions of the World

Skylar Grey – Coming Home

Silhouettes of detained people are seen in a police truck near the Moscow City Court during the trial of a Russian opposition leader in Moscow on February 2, 2021.

A U.S. musician who helped produce music for Russian bands has been arrested in Moscow on suspicion of drug trafficking, according to reports by Russian state media on Saturday.

The Khamovniki District Court of Moscow accused Travis Michael Leek of organizing a drug trafficking business "involving young people," according to Russia's Interfax news agency. Russian media reported that he is suspected of selling the drug mephedrone — an offense for which he could face as much as 20 years in prison.

Social media accounts associated with the singer refer to him as "Travis Leake," and his mother told CNN that his name was Michael Travis Leake. CNN reported that Leake appeared in court on June 10 and will remain in custody until Aug. 6 in pre-trial detention.

Wrongful detentions of americans by foreign powers are fast rising, a new study says.

The general court of jurisdiction in Moscow identified Leake as a former paratrooper with the U.S. military, Interfax said.

According to LinkedIn, Leake has been the lead vocalist and producer of the Moscow-based group, Lovi Noch, for over five years. He was also a lyricist and back-up vocals for multiple Russian punk rock bands.

Leake's LinkedIn also showed that he was the president of Red Decades Records, a company looking to identify and cultivate "new and existing talent in the Russian marketplace for wider distribution in a world market."

A spokesperson for the U.S. State Department said officials were aware of reports that a U.S. citizen was detained in Moscow, adding that the department "has no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens abroad." The agency declined to provide further details, citing privacy considerations.

Leake's detention comes less than three months since Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich was arrested on suspicion of espionage. Gershkovich is slated to remain in a Moscow prison in pre-trial detention until at least Aug. 30. Both he and the Wall Street Journal have vehemently denied the allegations against him, noting that Gershkovich was an accredited journalist working in Russia when he was arrested.

Last year, WNBA star Brittney Griner was also arrested in Moscow on drug-related charges and sentenced to nine years in prison after Russian authorities found cannabis vape canisters in her luggage. Griner had a medical marijuana card in Arizona to help her cope with injuries sustained over years of competition, and told a Russian court the incident was "an honest mistake." She spent 10 months in Russian detention until she was released in a prisoner swap in December.

Cruising the Moskva River: A short guide to boat trips in Russia’s capital

There’s hardly a better way to absorb Moscow’s atmosphere than on a ship sailing up and down the Moskva River. While complicated ticketing, loud music and chilling winds might dampen the anticipated fun, this checklist will help you to enjoy the scenic views and not fall into common tourist traps.

How to find the right boat?

There are plenty of boats and selecting the right one might be challenging. The size of the boat should be your main criteria.

Plenty of small boats cruise the Moskva River, and the most vivid one is this yellow Lay’s-branded boat. Everyone who has ever visited Moscow probably has seen it.

This option might leave a passenger disembarking partially deaf as the merciless Russian pop music blasts onboard. A free spirit, however, will find partying on such a vessel to be an unforgettable and authentic experience that’s almost a metaphor for life in modern Russia: too loud, and sometimes too welcoming. Tickets start at $13 (800 rubles) per person.

Bigger boats offer smoother sailing and tend to attract foreign visitors because of their distinct Soviet aura. Indeed, many of the older vessels must have seen better days. They are still afloat, however, and getting aboard is a unique ‘cultural’ experience. Sometimes the crew might offer lunch or dinner to passengers, but this option must be purchased with the ticket. Here is one such  option  offering dinner for $24 (1,490 rubles).

If you want to travel in style, consider Flotilla Radisson. These large, modern vessels are quite posh, with a cozy restaurant and an attentive crew at your service. Even though the selection of wines and food is modest, these vessels are still much better than other boats.

Surprisingly, the luxurious boats are priced rather modestly, and a single ticket goes for $17-$32 (1,100-2,000 rubles); also expect a reasonable restaurant bill on top.

How to buy tickets?

Women holding photos of ships promise huge discounts to “the young and beautiful,” and give personal invitations for river tours. They sound and look nice, but there’s a small catch: their ticket prices are usually more than those purchased online.

“We bought tickets from street hawkers for 900 rubles each, only to later discover that the other passengers bought their tickets twice as cheap!”  wrote  (in Russian) a disappointed Rostislav on a travel company website.

Nevertheless, buying from street hawkers has one considerable advantage: they personally escort you to the vessel so that you don’t waste time looking for the boat on your own.

Prices start at $13 (800 rubles) for one ride, and for an additional $6.5 (400 rubles) you can purchase an unlimited number of tours on the same boat on any given day.

Flotilla Radisson has official ticket offices at Gorky Park and Hotel Ukraine, but they’re often sold out.

Buying online is an option that might save some cash. Websites such as  this   offer considerable discounts for tickets sold online. On a busy Friday night an online purchase might be the only chance to get a ticket on a Flotilla Radisson boat.

This  website  (in Russian) offers multiple options for short river cruises in and around the city center, including offbeat options such as ‘disco cruises’ and ‘children cruises.’ This other  website  sells tickets online, but doesn’t have an English version. The interface is intuitive, however.

Buying tickets online has its bad points, however. The most common is confusing which pier you should go to and missing your river tour.

“I once bought tickets online to save with the discount that the website offered,” said Igor Shvarkin from Moscow. “The pier was initially marked as ‘Park Kultury,’ but when I arrived it wasn’t easy to find my boat because there were too many there. My guests had to walk a considerable distance before I finally found the vessel that accepted my tickets purchased online,” said the man.

There are two main boarding piers in the city center:  Hotel Ukraine  and  Park Kultury . Always take note of your particular berth when buying tickets online.

Where to sit onboard?

Even on a warm day, the headwind might be chilly for passengers on deck. Make sure you have warm clothes, or that the crew has blankets ready upon request.

The glass-encased hold makes the tour much more comfortable, but not at the expense of having an enjoyable experience.

Getting off the boat requires preparation as well. Ideally, you should be able to disembark on any pier along the way. In reality, passengers never know where the boat’s captain will make the next stop. Street hawkers often tell passengers in advance where they’ll be able to disembark. If you buy tickets online then you’ll have to research it yourself.

There’s a chance that the captain won’t make any stops at all and will take you back to where the tour began, which is the case with Flotilla Radisson. The safest option is to automatically expect that you’ll return to the pier where you started.

Up, up and away! See 10 decades of Thanksgiving Day parade balloons

By Tal Yellin , Jennifer Arnow, Jason Lancaster, CNN

Published November 19, 2023

Snoopy. Bart Simpson. Betty Boop. The annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will soon bring together an unrivaled cast of balloon characters, along with floats, musical acts and people of all ages — from around the globe — to take it all in along New York City’s streets.

The balloons, perhaps the flagship component of the whole affair, have been around since almost the beginning. CNN floats down memory lane with a visual history of some of the iconic balloons and how the New York landscape has changed alongside this beloved American holiday event.

Originally dubbed the Macy’s Christmas Parade , the first event took off on November 24, 1924, in front of a crowd of 10,000. In 1927, Macy’s changed its name to the Thanksgiving Day Parade, debuting balloons that same year.

The Inspector

Old Man Dragon

Felix the Cat

Parade onlookers hit the one million mark in the 1930s, and in 1933, the parade added sound effects to the balloons. The dachshund barked, the pig oinked and the baby cried. Andy the Alligator even hissed like a real reptile. Mickey Mouse made his first appearance in 1934.

Two-Headed Pirate

Mickey Mouse

The parade paused for the first time in 1942 for World War II. Macy’s President Jack Straus donated approximately 650 pounds of rubber balloon material to the war effort. In 1945, after the war ended, two million people turned out for the parade.

Santa Claus

Popeye made his debut in 1957 in a rain-soaked spectacle. Macy's recalls the rain filled up his hat and weighed it down so far that it eventually poured the water out, snapping it back up. The following year was tricky, with the nation’s helium supply running low due to the Cold War and space race, according to the US Army. This required balloons to be displayed using cranes.

Space Cadet

Mighty Mouse

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated just days before the 1963 parade. While the nation mourned, the show went on. In 1968, Macy’s presented Snoopy for the first time as a Flying Ace and he has since become the longest running balloon in the parade.

Donald Duck

The parade was grounded in 1971 because of a torrential downpour that would have made balloon flight perilous.

Kermit the Frog

Macy’s ended its partnership with Goodyear and balloon production moved in-house under designer Manfred Bass. The parade was hit with its first snowstorm in 1989, stranding some balloon handlers and necessitating some cheerleaders to pinch hit on balloon duty.

Pink Panther

Woody Woodpecker

America’s bad boy Bart Simpson debuted in 1990. The 1997 parade experienced extreme winds, with gusts reaching 40 mph. One balloon struck a lamppost and knocked it into the crowd, hitting a woman who suffered a fractured skull . Rules were introduced to ground balloons at winds over 32 mph.

Clifford the Big Red Dog

Bart Simpson

Charlie Brown, trying to kick a football, debuted in 2002. The balloon was 53-feet-long, 29-feet-wide and nearly 51-feet-tall and was filled with 13,330 cubic feet of helium.

Little Bill

Charlie Brown

Keith Haring Art

Kung Fu Panda took flight for the first time in 2010. Street artist Kaws also created a 41-foot-long balloon . In 2019, balloons were forced to fly low because of high winds ; some were only a few feet off the ground.

Kung Fu Panda

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

In 2020, the parade was a TV-only event as the Covid-19 pandemic kept crowds home because of safety concerns. In recent years, 3.5 million people have lined the streets to watch. The 2023 parade will feature seven new balloons, according to the Macy's parade site .

Montana’s Rock Creek runs through Lolo National Forest just 22 miles east of Missoula. Known as a blue-ribbon fly fishing destination, Rock Creek is also a superb place to recreate featuring campgrounds, hiking trails, and hunting areas interspersed throughout its dramatic canyon.

Location and Information

To reach Rock Creek from Missoula, travel 22 miles east on I-90 before taking exit 126. Turn right onto Rock Creek Road. The road follows the creek south for 30 miles in between I-90 and the confluence of the East and West forks, near Phillipsburg, MT. Several fishing pull-outs, campsites, and trailheads are located along the road.

The drive through the canyon is slow due to narrow and bumpy conditions (especially after mile marker 15) and wildlife crossings. Winter weather may also dictate accessibility.
