  1. These Are The Best Bike Paths in National Parks

    Photo: Grant Ordelheide Most national parks don’t allow bikes on dirt trails, whether or not they’re e-bikes, but that doesn’t mean biking is off limits. Many national parks have designated multi-use paths, some paved and some gravel, that offer a scenic way to explore without having to go deep into the backcountry or stick to the roads. These car-free paths provide a safe and fun way for everyone to get out on two wheels, whether you’re looking for some serious miles at Grand Teton […]

  7. North Carolina Wreck Diving: The Bruse Reeb

    North Carolina is often called the Graveyard of the Atlantic, home to hundreds of shipwrecks scattered along its coast. While the famous wrecks like the U-352 and the Spar get most of the attention, some of the most memorable dives come from the lesser-known sites hidden offshore.

    On a recent trip with Gotham Divers, aboard Atlantis Charters out of Beaufort, NC, we headed out to a site nicknamed the Wreck of the Bruse Reeb – Bow Section. It’s not one of the marquee wrecks you’ll see in guidebooks, but that’s exactly what made the dive so interesting—quiet, atmospheric, and full of life.

    Exploring the Wreckage

    The bow section of the Bruse Reeb lies scattered across the seafloor, its remnants slowly being reclaimed by the ocean. Rusting beams and plates provide structure for schools of fish that weave through the wreckage. Though modest in scale compared to other North Carolina wrecks, it offered plenty of details to notice and film, making the dive feel like a mix of history and marine life.

    Crossing Paths with Another Diver

    Also on board that day was Squalus Marine Divers, who was filming the dive for his own channel. Around the 10-minute mark of his video, he was capturing footage of a perfectly camouflaged summer flounder when I drifted into the frame. Flounders are masters of disguise. You usually won’t notice them until they shift or flick their fins. It was a fun, unscripted moment to have both of us filming the same fish from different angles.

    Why North Carolina Diving Stands Out

    This dive was a reminder of what makes North Carolina wreck diving so special. Beyond the well-known sites, there are countless smaller wrecks scattered offshore, each with its own atmosphere and ecosystem. From Beaufort to Morehead City, operators like Atlantis Charters make these sites accessible, giving divers the chance to experience both the legends and the hidden gems of the Graveyard of the Atlantic.

    To get a closer look at the wreck and the marine life around it, check out the full dive video from Squalus Marine Divers above. About ten minutes in, you’ll spot the moment when we both film the same summer flounder. This is one of those small, unscripted underwater encounters. Such experiences make dives like this so memorable.

  8. nThambo Tree Camp Safari Highlights

    After bidding farewell to the mesmerizing Umkumbe Safari Lodge, we set our sights northwest towards nThambo Tree Camp, both nestled within the expansive Kruger National Park. Following a seasoned piece of advice not to tether ourselves to a single location, considering the capricious nature of wildlife, we strategically chose two distinct accommodations on opposing sides of the park to maximize our chances of encountering the renowned ‘Big 5’. The “Big Five” refer to five large African mammal species: Lions, Leopards, Elephants, African Buffalo, Rhinoceroses.

    The journey, spanning approximately 3 and a half hours from Umkumbe to nThambo, offered glimpses of South Africa’s commercial landscape as we made a brief stop at a rest area for snacks and refreshments. I took the opportunity to stretch out and catch a nap during the mostly uneventful highway drive. I missed the opportunity to take images.

    Upon our arrival at nThambo Tree Camp, a delicious brunch awaited us before we embarked on an exhilarating afternoon game drive.

    The tree houses exuded opulence, providing a lavish retreat amidst the wilderness. Each abode boasted a sumptuous king-sized bed, a bathroom replete with on-demand hot water, a toilet, and a writing desk.

    Unquestionably, the highlight of each room was the breathtaking view it offered of the surrounding park. From this vantage point, we marveled at the wildlife spectacle: Giraffes, Hyenas, Elephants, Impalas, and an array of other fascinating creatures graced the camp with their presence. (Yes, I have a lot of luggage – After nThambo we head to Durban to scuba dive with whales, sharks and sardines.)

    The nights were serenaded by the echoing roars of lions, a haunting yet captivating reminder of the untamed beauty just beyond our sanctuary. Remarkably, even this awe-inspiring chorus failed to keep me from drifting into a peaceful slumber.

    In the picture above, we stopped for sundowners on our evening safari drive.

    Every evening, the camp treated us to a welcoming campfire preceding our dinner. The experience was incredibly soothing, offering the perfect opportunity to enjoy a drink before the meal and providing warmth as the night air grew cooler.

    All video was shot with a Panasonic GH5 and 100-300 lens. The still images were shot with an iphone.
