Building An Authoritative Travel Blog

Authoritative blogs seem all the rage at the moment but what exactly is an " Authoritative Travel Blog ?" Well my understanding of the matter is it is a blog that is not only very informative to the readers but that the information comes from authoritative type people in connection with what they are writing about.

Hopefully my articles below will give an insight on travel and travel related experiences from all over the world from many authoritative writers as they have been there and done that.

Articles will be and are published often and this means current travel experiences and up to date places to visit. If you have also visited these places or wish to comment then please do so remembering this blog is intended to family orientated visitors so please be respectful.

I have seen many fears raised through my article site and feel that any traveller today that, for one reason or another, decides against travel insurance then they are possibly being a little short sighted. We do not want our boats to sink but are happy to carry life rafts. travel insurance is a similar idea. We do not wish to ever claim on it but if things go wrong as they sometimes do it is a benifit to have the insurance.

The Helena Mineral Society

By Mercie Hallow

Helena is the state capital of Montana. It has a population of over 30,000 people. In Helena, there is an organization called The Helena Mineral Society which is a non-profit organization that caters to the public awareness of gems, minerals and precious stones. They also advocate continued camaraderie among its members and further education and investigation of precious stones found in the capital of Helena.

The Helena Mineral Society currently holds an exhibit festival at Helena which also features a mineral trade show and silent auctions for everyone to see. The Festival will feature suppliers, importers and manufacturers of gems and precious stones from other places. Aficionados and sellers are all gathered under one roof in this one of a kind exhibit. The festival is the perfect time to get to know different minerals, their compositions and beauty.

Since it is almost spring time, geologists and rock enthusiasts are once again itching to get out of their homes and explore the nature for some of these treasures. It is important to prepare as early as now the digging paraphernalia so one could have successful rock hunting in spring time. Chisels should be sharpened and brushes should be checked if its still complete. Shovels and carrying bags should be all ready and set as well as sunscreen, hat and some plastic or newspaper sheet for containing small pieces.

The Society seeks to provide a vast knowledge to the public about rocks and minerals that is why they hold field trips and hands-on classes where one could be exposed and taught on the basics of rock hunting. Some beginners on field trips consist of enthusiastic kids who only get to learn about precious stones and minerals from school lessons.

Come to the Helena Mineral Society Festival and see for yourself natures array of colorful rock beauties!
