Death Valley Sailing Stones: At Death Valley's Race Track Playa, you'll see a strange sight; nearly 200 stones (some barely larger than pebbles, some weighing over 600 pounds) have zigzagged and spiraled across the dry lake bed, leaving long snail trails behind. It's no mirage. The stones have been moving (and confusing visitors) for decades. Recently, scientists solved the mystery. But you wouldn't want us to spoil it for you. Have you ever been to Death Valley to see the sailing stones?

Mukluk Land in Tok, Alaska: A massive red-and-white mukluk boot marks the entrance to Mukluk Land, a homespun theme park built of scrap, salvage, and a love of all things Alaska. Visitors can pan for gold, explore the park's outhouse collection, and peer inside a log cabin crammed with hundreds of dolls. Other diversions here include a trampoline igloo, mini-golf, and an arcade. Have you ever been to Mukluk Land in Alaska?

Winchester Mystery House: Doors that open onto walls. Staircases that lead to the ceiling. Windows that look into other rooms. Many things about this house defy logic, and the story only gets stranger. Sarah Winchester (widow of gun magnate William Wirt Winchester) began building this 160 room manse in 1882, and construction continued until she died 38 years later. It's said she built the house to appease the spirits of people killed by Winchester rifles, and she included design anomalies to confuse the evil ones. Come explore, but don't stray far from the group (you could get lost for hours). Would you like to visit the Winchester Mystery House?

Museum of Clean in Pocatello, Idaho: Four years ago, Don Aslett (janitorial impresario, vacuum collector, author of Clutter's Last Stand) opened a museum dedicated to the concept of "clean." Visitors can try out a pre-electric vacuum, marvel at toilets from around the world, and play Oliver Twist in the gritty, 18th century chimney mock-up. There's even an interactive area, Kids' Clean World, where little ones can sweep, vacuum, and wash windows. Have you ever been to the Museum of Clean in Idaho?

Sedona Vortexes in Sedona, Arizona: Spiritual seekers swear by Sedona's vortexes, powerful places where, supposedly, you can feel swirling energy emerge from the earth below. It's said that the vortexes (at Boynton Canyon, Bell Rock, Cathedral Rock, and the airport) can help you feel confident, compassionate, balanced. Even if you're not a believer, all that fire-red rock sure is pretty. Explore on your own, or take a guided vortex tour. Do you believe that the vortexes can make you feel confident, compassionate and balanced?
