"Our climate, rivers and wilderness areas make outdoor activities a major attraction for visitors," says Debbie Dusenbery, director of the Farmington Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The dry and temperate high-altitude climate permits year-round fishing, four wheeling, golfing, hiking and biking through a spectacular landscape of canyons, mesas, and unusual hoodoos formations.

Dusenbery adds: "Farmington is known as a sporting playground. In recent years, we have begun to host sizeable outdoor events like The Four Corners Xterra Triathlon coming up in June."

Farmington lies in the heart of the Four Corners near the spot where Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado meet. Three rivers, the Animas, the La Plata and the San Juan merge in its town center.

Top attractions for outdoor recreation fans in the Farmington area include:
* Fly fishing along the Quality Waters of the San Juan River draws fly-fishing enthusiasts from around the world to catch and release big trout.
* OHV buffs hit the trails in the Glade Run Recreation Area where trails wind past boulders, slick rock, and through foothills dotted with Juniper and Pinon. Separate areas are set aside for rock crawling, hiking and mountain biking.
* Animas and Berg Parks bordering the Animas River in Farmington have riverside and woodland trails for walkers, bicyclists, equestrians and bird watchers. In this area, the Animas is slow moving, a good place for canoeing and rafting.
* Fantastic windsurfing in 75-degree water year-round on Morgan Lake, the cooling pond for Arizona Public Service Power Plant is a destination for wind surfers anytime but the winds in spring are legendary.

Farmington also offers one of the most challenging and affordable municipal golf courses in the country. Pinon Hills Golf Course is perennially rated by Golfweek Magazine as one the best municipal golf courses in the United States.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Jan. 19 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Libya Expeditions, Libya's leading tour operator and travel adventure specialist, brings Libya's majestic Roman and Greek treasures to life with its exploratory cultural and archaeological Libya tours: the introductory 7-day "Libya Explorer - Romans & Berbers," and the extended 12 day cultural adventure, "Libya Unveiled - Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, and Fezzan."

Remarkably well-preserved by the desert sands, the unspoiled Roman ruins of Leptis Magna and Sabratha (both UNESCO World Heritage Sites) are arguably Libya's biggest tourist attractions and a magnet for the cultural traveler. Leptis Magna, whose presence and scale rival anything in Rome, has been praised as "the most beautiful Roman city in the world."

"Leptis Magna is the finest example of an intact Roman city in the world, and the highlight of any tour to Libya," says Ryad Sunusi, Founder and CEO of Libya Expeditions. "Whether a history buff or a casual visitor, you will be mesmerized by the majesty of the Roman ruins in Libya."

"Libya Explorer: Romans and Berbers" is a breathtaking look at the Roman Empire in North Africa and the mysterious Berbers who warred with the might of Rome from their mountain redoubts and desert strongholds. The massive ruins of Leptis Magna, birthplace of the Emperor Septimius Severus, are extensively explored with a look at the Forum, Marketplace, Hadrianic Baths, and Theater. The tour stops by Sabratha, smaller cousin of Leptis Magna, then ventures into the Berber heartland through stunning scenery and unique Berber architecture and ghurfas; before finally arriving at the renowned Saharan town of Ghadames, the "Pearl of the Desert."

"Libya Unveiled: Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, and Fezzan" includes the Roman and Berber attractions of Libya Explorer and ventures further East to the Hellenic ruins of Cyrene and Appollonia, and the mythical Pentapolis; all set amidst a breathtaking landscape of rolling hills and lush valleys and the soothing backdrop of the Mediterranean.

Libya's location in the middle of the Mediterranean and the proximity of its classical attractions to its two major cities, Tripoli and Benghazi, make Libya a very popular Mediterranean cruise stopover, as well as a popular school and educational destination.

STEVENSVILLE, Mich., Aug. 5 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Michigan fishermen are themselves being caught up in a new community net which is carefully crafted to reel them in hook, line and sinker. Recently spawned Michigan Fish Fanatic (MichiganFishFanatic.com), a service of ADCO FLYCAST, is inviting fishermen to cast their wisdom on the waters and let others know about where, when and how to catch their favorite denizens of the deep.

According to the Web site, the goal of MFF is to offer fishermen across the state opportunities to share local knowledge and to give the virtual community the information it needs to increase fishing success and encourage fishermen to try places they have never tried before.

One fully-convinced member says, "Michigan Fish Fanatic is a fisherman's candy store. Where else can you interact with other fanatics and find the exact information you need on a given day to catch your limit?"

A dedicated gathering place for resident anglers, Michigan Fish Fanatic offers maps of more than 8,000 lakes, 550 rivers, and 90 harbors, including depth readings. Once inside the portal, visitors to the site are encouraged to enter their own personal knowledge of each of the thousands of locations, including access points, fishing reports, hot spots and tips, and other helpful information.

In addition to the maps, the Web site hosts community pages. Social networking similar to Facebook is part of the online environment, so visitors to the community can create profiles, share photo albums and keep running blogs of fishing trips and tips which can be made public or kept private depending on personal preferences.

MFF members are invited to submit articles, recipes, and fly-tying tips and tricks with step-by-step instructions. There are even classified ads of interest to the fishing and recreational communities.

And there are forums galore.

In order to reel in additional fishermen who are willing to share their knowledge of the state's waterways and the fish that inhabit them, the Web site is sponsoring a contest to year's end and will give away four springtime guided steelhead fishing trips on the Manistee River to the MFF members who contribute to the Web site in significant ways for the rest of the year.

LOS ANGELES, Calif., Sept. 22 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Stop the French presses. A new-school brew developed by Java Juice, Inc. fuels the future of coffee and allows coffee lovers to toss their brewers, grinders, filters and energy-sucking coffee machinery aside. Java Juice(R) may eventually render whole beans as old-school fuel.

Java Juice, an organic liquid coffee extract, is not only portable, but fast, easy and delicious. Thanks to the inventor, Los Angeles coffee roaster Richard Karno, caffeine aficionados can now indulge anywhere, anytime.

For seven years, Karno labored to perfect the durable oxygen barrier packet. He wanted to ensure that it would taste as good, if not better, than a fresh-roasted cup of coffee. Karno, also the owner of Los Angeles' Groundwork Coffee Company (www.lacoffee.com) had visions of a lightweight package that could deliver heavy-duty coffee flavor. The result was a half-ounce pouch of extract that made brewing as simple as ABC: Already Brewed Coffee.

Today, the product has been perfected and consumers need only to add water or milk for a ready cup of delicious coffee.

Java Juice is ideal for anyone on the go. It can easily be packed away -- making it machine-less for adventurers, search and rescue teams, EMTs and paramedics. Imagine a portable espresso machine that weighs half an ounce and fits in a pocket.

Adding to the list of its super-power attributes, the packets have a PSI rating of 200 pounds making them virtually unbreakable in travel gear. And, this December, Java Juice will achieve a three-year shelf life via real-time testing. This qualifies the product for military meals ready to eat (MRE) status.

So, while Karno's primary focus was flavor, this coffee phenomenon has meets the packaging requirements of various U.S. municipalities.

"Until Java Juice, premium portable organic extract did not exist," Karno says. "Now, all people need to do is rip it, drip it, add water, and sip it."

Java Juice also offers massive discounts on misprinted products to make it easier for people who may want to send coffee to hurricane victims or deployed personnel.

About the Company:
Java Juice(R) is a certified organic coffee extract made in the U.S. from the finest organic Arabica beans. The product contains no chemicals or preservatives; is fairly traded; and kosher certified. It is currently available at travel outfitters such as REI.com; Adventure 16; and Liberty Mountain.

In an era of random violence, people must ask themselves, "Am I really prepared to help myself and to help others when tragedy strikes?" As an example, "Could I properly apply a tourniquet or ensure someone has an open airway so they could breath?" The average person can easily bleed to death in less than seven minutes. Knowing how and where to properly apply a tourniquet can make a real life or death difference.

When an incident or an accident happens, whether it's in an outdoor setting or on the street, there are simple but critical key actions a rescuer can perform on himself or others that can make the difference between having a good outcome or a bad outcome - especially when emergency medical services may be more than 30 minutes away or medical assistance is hindered by unfolding events.

Topics included are the 12 ways to quickly evaluate whether or not a victim is in a life-threatening condition even if they don't think they are. Also covered are the reasons why evaluating a child's injuries must be done differently than assessing an adult's injuries. The reasons why most commercially available first aid kits cannot help save a life. How to use the $6 first aid item everyone should carry everyday, everywhere, that is no bigger than a fist, that will perform all the life saving and first aid functions most emergencies require.

Also discussed are the three most important steps a rescuer must take to make a life saving difference, and what most people don't know about how to get help on scene as quickly as possible no matter the location. Other topics include the emergency treatment of hunting and fishing related accidents and emergencies encountered by campers and hikers.

These seminars average 45-90 minutes depending on time allocated.

Add RV renters to the mix - the RV rental business is now a $350-million-a-year enterprise - and the number of RVers across the U.S. jumps to 30 million. This group travels an average of 4,500 miles and 30 days a year.

So, it's no wonder that campground owners are expanding and sprucing their facilities to meet the demand.

Bar Harbor Camping Resorts owner Patty Rae Stanley is at the forefront. Stanley, along with Chicago-based investment partner Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc. (NYSE: ELS), owns three resorts in Downeast Maine, and she just spent ten months and $4.5 million dollars completely reconstructing one of them - Narrows Too.

Located just a few miles from two of Maine's most popular vacation destinations, Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, Narrows Too now offers travelers nearly 200 full-hookup sites (30/50 amp electric, cable, Wi-Fi, water and sewer), a brand new 2500 sq. ft. entertainment center, new laundry and bathhouses, and a new registration office and store.

"We went from 120 campsites to 230," said Stanley. "Then we paved all the roads and reconfigured most of the grounds so the RV sites can accommodate Big Rigs with ease - and so most have views of the sea and the mountains.

"All these renovations make Narrows Too the newest, most up-to-date camping facility in New England," she said.

According to Stanley, Narrows Too and its Bar Harbor Camping Resorts sister campgrounds - Mt. Desert Narrows in Bar Harbor and Patten Pond in Ellsworth - also offer all the extras RVers are looking for. Vacationers enjoy heated pools and free shuttle service to Bar Harbor and other area attractions at Mt. Desert Narrows and Narrows Too and kayak and canoe rentals at Patten Pond. All three resorts offer beautiful Maine scenery, well-kept grounds, pancake breakfasts and ice cream socials, free movie nights, and live entertainment.

"RV ownership in the U.S. is growing faster than the population, largely because of the baby boomers, but also among younger families," said Stanley. "We know today's RVers expect comfort, convenience, and a good time. So, that's what we provide. Our brand new Narrows Too has it all."

The liquid-coffee extract buzz has caught on with US troops; and company owners, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Karno, are helping the military squeeze the most out of their budget. "By donating thousands of packets of Java Juice(R), our well-deserving soldiers now have access to excellent field coffee."

Reaching deployed soldiers was a goal for owner Ms. A. Karno, who said, "The highlight of the year was a letter from a deployed soldier in Afghanistan."

SSG R. Kohlenberger wrote:
"First, it's cold here. I mean really cold. Nothing is better on a cold, windy Afghanistan night than a hot cup of coffee. Second, your coffee is really good. I mean that. 'Instant' coffee tends to be, well, pretty nasty stuff. But, the coffee extract that you sent is excellent. Here in Afghanistan, we don't have much in the way of creature comforts."

Richard and his wife Arlene felt it "was a priority to get Java Juice(R) overseas, as a way to contribute." The Santa Clarita chapter of Blue Star Mothers was delighted to send the donation of over 5,000 packets of Java Juice(R) to men and women on-tour. US-military suppliers recognize the popularity of these little packets of perk and are ensuring they're available through military and camping wholesalers such as www.REI.com, www.peregrineoutfitters.com, and www.campmor.com.

According to Brigade Quartermasters' Mike McCourt, "The portability, ease-of-use, and speed with which you can put together a refreshing cup of coffee is surpassed only by coffeehouse flavor. What a hassle-free way to recharge the batteries."

Arlene Karno said, "The many letters we receive from, firefighters and EMT workers in the field thanking us for Java Juice, tells us we got it right."

Fire Captain writes from Montana writes: "After a really long day and night chasing fires, one of my co-workers introduced me to Java Juice. WOW, what an amazing transformation! Talk about jump-starting the day! The flavor - truly amazing! 'I'm hooked!'"

A. Pezza EMT/Firefighter wrote: "Your product that works great for EMT's who work 12-16 hour shifts and depend on good coffee to get through their day."

Java Juice(R) is organic-coffee extract, roasted from the finest Arabica beans. It contains no chemicals or preservatives and is fairly traded and kosher with a guaranteed one-year shelf life.
