What a spectacular day! It was one of those you were sorry to see end. You wake up in a comfortable place and have a great breakfast. You take a hike down to the Natural Bridge. You visit an Indian village. You hike down into the deepest caverns on the East Coast. You visit some true Roadside Americana. You get to stop here and there to take some snapshots. You go to a bingo party. gardenYou sneak out into the garden for a few last shots. Ah, these are the days!

Lucky for her, she was thrown in the right doorway – the backdoor...

Well, maybe every few years or so, but it’s rare – very, very rare – that I ever have what you might call a beard. It’s been years, actually, since I had one. But, about a month ago and some, I took an unintentional break from shaving,... 

Frozen Va or margaritas on the rocks in the tropics…tough choice…

This kid is a champ, no two ways about it. This past weekend he earned his Wilderness Survival merit badge. One of the requirements was that he had to build a shelter and sleep in it. That’s something that would challenge me under normal conditions. Try it in the cold and rain? Maybe. If I had to. Well, Beau? He just did it. And I am...
