Travel Feature 2019

Gold

New Mexico Magazine, “The Lifeblood” by Ashley M. Biggers

Loved learning about the history and politics of the area, from the rivers act to the impact it has today on Hena and Pueblo people.

Gold

Texas Highways, “The Devil Made Me Do It” by Matt Joyce

The piece flowed like the river, using muscular prose that bordered on poetic.

 Silver

Arizona Highways, “The Ultimate Arizona Road Trip” by Matt Jaffe

You can’t help but slide into the spirit of this road trip — languid, slow, road time peppered by distant freight trains and the strumming of an out-of-tune guitar.

Bronze

Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors, “New. Found. Land.” by Nancy Harmon Jenkins

Great bits of history interspersed with nice quotes and locals’ expressions added to the overall sense of place. And truly, superb research.

Bronze

Oklahoma Today, “Down to the River” by Robert Reid

Solid research – good anecdotes about JFK, legendary Bigfoot, and urban legends.
