The president of the Navajo Nation unsuccessfully attempted to stop two semi trucks from hauling uranium through tribal land this week. Back in 2012, the Navajo Nation passed the Radioactive and Related Substances Equipment, Vehicles, Persons and Materials Transportation Act. This act technically banned the transport of uranium through the tribe’s reservation, but is not legally enforceable on highways due to a technicality, reported KJZZ.

Visitors and locals love California for its sunshine and arid climate. Although the Golden State's ocean water is colder than in other destinations, the otherwise balmy conditions make up for this disparity. But despite popular belief, not all of California has perfect year-round weather. There are several places within the state that experience bone-chilling temperatures. The coldest place can be found at Bodie State Historic Park in Mono County. It's located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, not far from Mammoth Lakes and Yosemite National Park, which is known for its epic hikes with the best views.

Are you one of those people who ride the lift up the mountain with the restraint bar up or down? Some people will put the bar down every time they ride the lift, while others choose to leave it up. Most of us have heard Ski Patrol and lift attendants tell people who do not put the bar down to do so if they see that they are not doing it once they get on the lift. An Austrian study has found that while safety bars can only prevent about 10% of chairlift accidents, these are typically accidents that cause serious bodily harm to passengers.
