It was 1976. Crew members from the TV show The Six Million Dollar Man were preparing to shoot on location at the Pike Amusement Park in Long Beach, California. The plan was to capture Steve Austin, the titular pricey fellow, riding in one of the cars along the track of a spooky ride called the "Laff in the Dark." The ride featured a tunnel in which ghouls, demons, and skeletons would pop up and scare you as your car jolted from side to side in the dark. While sprucing up the set, a Six Million Dollar employee spotted a mannequin hanging from a noose in the corner. He reached for the mannequin's arm — and the arm broke off in his hand. Looking at the dismembered limb, the worker was astonished to see what looked like bone beneath layers of desiccated skin. This was no mannequin. This was a man.

And trust me when I say my fellow co-workers and I at REI’s Seattle-area headquarters know a thing or two about getting out of town. Combine the city’s infamous rain with its northern latitude (it’s the most northerly major city in in the Lower 48), and you have a recipe for cabin fever without the cabin. So a midwinter retreat to sunnier locales is an annual tradition for many. Good thing we have the folks at REI Co-op Experiences, our adventure travel outfitters, to turn to for a little inspiration. Well, more than a little⁠: They have nearly 100 trips scheduled between Dec. 2019 and March 2020 alone, and their teams are constantly sending back photos back from their trips, many of which promise warm weather, sunny days and plenty of adventure. And as the Co-op Journal's travel editor, part of my job is sorting through them, which is both a blessing and a curse. Here are a few I’ll be daydreaming of as winter settles in.

The top portion of the mountain, roughly everything above 26,000 feet, is known as the “death zone.” There, the oxygen levels are only at a third of what they are at sea level, and the barometric pressure causes weight to feel ten times heavier. The combination of the two makes climbers feel sluggish, disoriented and fatigued and can cause extreme distress on organs. For this reason, climbers don’t usually last more than 48 hours in this area. The climbers that do are usually left with lingering effects. The ones that aren’t so lucky are left where they fall. Standard protocol is just to leave the dead where they died, and so these corpses remain to spend eternity on the mountaintop, serving as a warning to climbers as well as gruesome mile markers.

Most of us will never climb Everest, but the mountain still looms large in our minds every spring when hundreds of hearty souls travel there for adventure. Everest sits on the border between Nepal and China, and the most popular route to the top has long been via Nepal, on the mountain's south side. Here's an overview of what that journey entails. Much of this text originally appeared in What You Missed: Everest, a limited newsletter series published in 2018. We'll be publishing What You Missed: Everest in 2019 as well: subscribe to this email list to receive the special Everest edition every Saturday during the climbing season, starting March 30. While climbers are resting and getting their bodies used to the altitude at various camps on the mountain, we'll be sending you updates on various expeditions, alongside historical context from Outside's vast Everest story archive.

Fans of "The Simpsons" now slurp a Squishee and gulp Lard Lad Donuts at the world's first real-life Kwik-E-Mart in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It's designed like a favorite location from the long-running animated TV series, and it opened Friday in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Other items for sale include memorabilia associated with Bart Simpson, his parents, Homer and Marge, sisters Lisa and Maggie and the rest of the globally known characters from the town of Springfield. Those include Apu, owner of the show's convenience store, Kwik-E-Mart, who is of Indian descent. The show received criticism recently from viewers troubled by the stereotypical characterization, like Apu's accent provided by actor Hank Azaria. "The Simpsons" is known for its many catchphrases, including one from Apu that is painted on a wall inside the store: "Thank you, come again!" it says. Mark Cornell, of SimEx-Iwerks Entertainment, one of the developers, said the first visitors included three generations of a family, all arguing playfully about who was the bigger "Simpsons" fan. "To see three generations walk through the door that all love 'The Simpsons,' how can you say that about anything else?" he told CNN affiliate WBTW. The store is next door to a "Simpsons"-themed Aztec Theater expected to open later this year.

(CNN) — Another day, another company offering a "dream job" in a tropical location as a publicity stunt -- although we have to admit this one's pretty cool. Floyd's Pelican Bar, a wooden shack bar in Jamaica that's only accessible by boat, is giving one lucky applicant the opportunity to "pull pints in one of the most Instagrammable drinking spots in the world." According to the ad created by UK travel company Virgin Holidays, owner Floyd Forbes has finally decided to take a break after nearly 18 years behind the bar, and needs someone to fill in for him this summer.

The World War Two Siege of Malta took place from 1940 to 1942. This tiny island’s prime location meant it was in the spotlight for the war on the Mediterranean. Malta certainly got the raw deal during the war from start to finish. The very day after Mussolini declared war – on June 10, 1940 – Italian bombers commenced attacking the capital of Valletta. Holding the record for heaviest sustained bombing, Malta endured a staggering attack lasting 154 days and nights with a total of 6,700 bombs dropped. Air raids throughout the war over Malta totalled 3,343.

In Morocco, people don't call for an Uber; instead, they pile into Grand Taxis – battered but colourful old diesel Mercedes that are North Africa's answer to Cuba's vintage cars. Many diesel Mercedes (especially the W123 240D model) from the 1970s and '80s have spent their twilight years as Grand Taxis in the sun, after being shipped over when deemed too old for the European market. Here they have become part of the fabric of society, providing an essential long-distance travel link for locals as well as a colourful snapshot for tourists, much like the old American cars in Cuba. But not for much longer, as the Moroccan government is keen to rid them from the country's roads.
