Beneath a bridge in Seattle, Washington lies a menacing one-eyed troll.  This troll in no way resembles those awesome Treasure Troll toys with the rainbow-colored hair and the adorably bejeweled belly buttons.  This one savagely grimaces and eats defenseless automobiles like this poor, misguided Volkswagen Beetle.

MmmK and I decided to risk disappearing or getting eaten and climbed atop this creature anyway.  Turns out, he’s pretty friendly.

Arizona and its cities have plenty of activities for its visitors.  After a day in Scottsdale, AZ, Doggone Dave and I had a list of things to do with our free time.  Top of the list was to go to Camelback mountain. As we got to the starting point of the trail, we saw giant cactus’s and desert like vegetation.  We stop and took scenic pictures while catching our breath. 

From the top of Camelback Mountain, the view was magnificient.  I couldn’t help to strike a pose and share the amazing view.  You can also enjoy Doggone Dave shadow! 

Don’t let this photo deceive you.  Though it appears as if Lil Links Laura and I crossed the Atlantic to visit the Eiffel Tower in France, sadly you are mistaken.  Believe me, it fooled me too.  I was seconds away from breaking out my foreign language dictionary to brush up on Parisian slang for “hot dog” and “bologna.”

This virtual replica of the iconic French monument is actually in Las Vegas, Nevada!  Lil Links Laura and I took a quick drive down the strip in the “Entertainment Capital of the World” to see what all the fuss was about.

While in Oklahoma City I realized the Wienermobile had never been to an Oklahoma City Thunder basketball game.  I took a little cruise down to Ford Center and waited in line at the ticket booth.  While in line the family in front of me told me they had an extra ticket.  I thought to myself, “Free Thunder Basketball!”.  Graciously, I accepted their offer and was thinking of a way to repay them.  I returned the generosity the only way I knew how, hot dogs!  By far the best snack for a basketball game and these bad boys were stuffed to the gills; ketchup, mustard, relish, onions and nacho cheese sauce.  We had a great time with some great food.  Below are some pictures I took while at the game, enjoy!

Me and RELSHME Relishing the Views

So if you see me keepin’ my doggy rolling through the West, be sure to say howdy!

You can get a great view of Seattle from atop the Space Needle. I however think the best view is through the bun roof of the Wienermobile! Check out this great nighttime shot of the famed 605-foot-tall landmark.

When the Wienermobile heard that the very first Wal-Mart was in Bentonville, AR we had to go see it.  Walton’s five and dime was the very first general store operated by Sam Walton which would later grow into Wal-Mart.  Today Walton’s five and dime in Bentonville, AR serves as Wal-Mart’s museum.  I had a bun of fun learning about Walmart’s rich history.  Below I included a photo of me shaking the hand of Sam Walton (Large cutout of Sam Walton)!!!

Afloat on a boat. I'm a poet, don't you know it?

Tis a proven scientific fact that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.  Therefore, the Northwest Hotdoggers decided to save a few hours of driving by putting WEENR on a ferry from Silverdale, Washington to Whidbey Island.

Many children assume that the Wienermobile can fly. Though they are incorrect in that assessment, they would be pleased to know that the Wienermobile has happily floated across a sizable body of water.

Both WEENR and the Hotdoggers appreciated our little break from being on the road.  We felt like sea-faring Vikings who conquered an expansive ocean (though the Puget Sound in Washington is technically an inlet).

Pittsburgh, PA was one of the last cities Torey Toppings and I visited together. We took a ride to the top of Pittsburgh’s Mount Washington on the Monongahlea Incline, which happens to be the tallest and steepest incline in the United States.

Later that night we drove a fearless B0L0GNA to the top Mount Washington to get the same view at night. Look at how bunderful the Pittsburgh skyline looks from this vantage point!

Hey Pittsburgh! Be sure to ketchup with the Wienermobile at the Pittsburgh St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 13th.

Great dogs are amazing! and the Wienermobile knows it.  This is one of the Wienermobile furry friends that strike a pose for us in one of our event in Los Angeles, California. This dog is on training to be a companion dog and help the blind.  What an amazing dog! Afte rall, Great dogs hang out with the best dogs!
