Galgibaga Beach, Goa - Must Visit



























Galgibaga Beach/ Galgibagh Beach, possibly the cleanest beach in Goa is located in the quiet taluka of Quepem in Canacona region of South Goa and 7 kms from Palolem Beach. 
Swimming is allowed and there are life savers who patrol the beach. 

There are only a couple nice eating shacks which offer lip smacking food. 
It's a Must Visit beach in Goa. 
Galgibaga Beach is fairly simple to find on Google maps. There's no parking next to the beach. One has to walk a bit to reach the beach. 
The beach is one of the three places in Goa that form the nesting grounds of the Olive Ridley turtles, a protected species. The northern portion of this beach is protected it being the turtles nesting ground and that gives the beach its nickname, Turtle Beach. 
Roadies must visit Raj Baga beach on the way back from Galgibaga Beach.
Raj Baga beach is just besides Hotel Lalit and has literally no tourists there. It’s almost like you have the whole beach to yourself.

Pile up in Fort Worth, Texas in February 2021


Happened in Fort Worth on I-35 southbound toll road, Texas in February 2021. 
It was a 100 car pile up with 6+ fatalities. 
It was reported by people frequenting the highway that at a higher point of the highway (you don't see in the video), is a crest where the cars drive down and can't see the vehicles piled up below. Basically the cars went over the crest, and when they saw what was happening, couldn't stop because of extremely slippery black ice on the road.
