Visit the Seven Magic Mountains (Las Vegas, NV)

Unscaled Travel Show

03/28/23 • 4 min

Check out a picture gallery of Seven Magic Mountains on the Full Metal Traveler website and subscribe to the FMT podcast on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Ten miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada, seven towers cut through the desert sky. They stand taller than one might think if you’re simply driving by on Interstate 15, on your way to lose your hard earned money in a gilded casino. At first glance they don’t seem that impressive from far away. It’s easy to dismiss them. But their brilliant and bold colors stand in stark contrast to the mountain ranges, desert and dry lake backdrop that surround them. According to the creator, Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, this location is the physical and symbolic halfway point between the natural and the artificial. The natural being the desert landscape. The artificial, of course, being the glitz and glamour of the casino lights as well as the constant traffic buzzing between Los Angeles and Sin City. It’s hard to argue the point. The boulders themselves teeter on top of one another, seemingly about to tip over at any moment. They rise thirty to thirty-five feet in the air, breathlessly creating an aura of the supernatural around them. Calling back to our primitive natures when we could neither understand nor fathom how man or nature could create something so big. The locally-sourced lime boulders were cut with precision, painted and stacked in just a few months time, opening in 2016. In this short amount of time they have become a hot spot for tourists, Instagrammable photo seekers, and curious locals all the same. Each one taking something different with them once they leave. The Swiss have a proverb that loosely translates to this: “Sometimes you have to be silent to be heard.” In this place, these towers, these Seven Magic Mountains, speak the loudest, reminding us, albeit for a brief moment that we are both part of the natural world and artificially molded by the noise and chaos we create in it.

The origins of the El Presidente drink

Unscaled Travel Show

03/14/23 • 4 min

The El Presidente is a decidedly Cuban cocktail, perfect on cool days in the Spring or Fall... or hell, whenever. Like the telephone, Model T, or cassette tapes, it's a cocktail whose best days have passed. There are very, very few bartenders who can make it anymore. Most wouldn't even try, instead meeting you with a blank stare and a beer menu. A moment of truth: I've had variations of this drink, but who can know what the authentic taste is unless you find yourself in an old throwback bar in Havana? For that reason alone, Cuba just moved up my travel list. It became the preferred drink of the Cuban upper class and those Americans who could afford to skirt the laws of Prohibition (1920-1933) by visiting the Las Vegas of the Caribbean: Havana, Cuba. Author Wayne Curtis, who wrote an excellent article on the disappearing act of correctly mixed cocktails, called Prohibition the dark ages for drinks in America where "Americans not only lost the knowledge of making sophisticated drinks, but they forgot what a good cocktail tasted like." "Americans not only lost the knowledge of making sophisticated drinks, but they forgot what a good cocktail tasted like."Wayne Curtis, "El Presidente" for LostMag.com Most attribute Eddie Woelke with the creation of the drink, but like all good legends, no one is completely sure. Woelke supposedly named the drink for Cuban President Gerardo Machado, who reigned during most of the Prohibition years. It made its way stateside and had a fun run where, I'm positive, most serious bartenders would have known this drink like he back of their hands. At least they would have known it as well as an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. As noted, like any well traveled legendary drink, there are many variations depending on taste. Some garnish with a twist of orange peel or a cherry or both. Some call strictly for Curacao. Others say Grand Marnier. All I know is if you get the basics right, you'll have one hell of a good cocktail, a story you can share at a party, and a call back to all lost and forgotten things.
