    Cross Junction, Va

    18 марта 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 7 °C

    Our 50th Wedding Anniversary trip does not officially start until Saturday, March 23 but Roger and Becky, friends of ours for the past 36 years, got a jump on things today. At a delightful English Pub in Upperville, Virginia they presented us with a book filled with a pictorial history of our intertwined lives. There we were in Charlestown, South Carolina in front of the wrought iron gates at St. Michael's Church, cheering the Redskins on at the Super Bowl in San Diego, riding mules down the Grand Canyon, walking along the rocky coast of Maine and holding lobsters at our annual lobster night with Bill, Diane, Bootsy and Bob.

    Roger and Becky, we cherish those 36 years and look forward to many, many more.    Читать далее

    50/50/50 Journey

    And so it begins.

    Virginia is a gift. The beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains accompanied us all along Interstate 81 as we headed south. The countryside was dotted with white flowering trees and yellow daffodils were popping up everywhere.

    Denny and I stopped for a burger in Harrisonburg (home to James Madison University) at a place called Jack Brown's Beer and Burger Joint. The owners serve Wagyu beef which they have brought in from a family owned farm (Snake River Farm) in Boise, Idaho.

    Delicious.

    Then it was on to Blacksburg (home of Virginia Tech) to meet up with another Jack. And wife Sandra. And daughter Becca.

    Jack has been in our lives for 45 years and to say we have shared some special experiences would be putting it mildly.

    Like the time we hiked the Wye River Valley between England and Wales. For two weeks we walked with backpacks staying in B&Bs all along the way.

    Or the time we sat in the back seat as Jack and son Jefferson drove us all around Ireland. On the LEFT side of the road.

    Or the time we went to Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

    Or the time ......

    Tonight we gathered at a place called The Farmhouse and feasted, talked, laughed and reminisced for four hours.

    Thank you Sandra and Becca.

    And thank you, Jack, for all the memories.    Читать далее

    Knoxville, Tennessee

    24 марта 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Bristol, Virginia. I mean Bristol, Tennessee. I mean Virginia. Okay, both.

    State Street is the boundary between two cities: Bristol, Virginia and Bristol, Tennessee. It runs right through their common business district which was where we had lunch today at a restaurant called 620 State.

    On down the road we stopped in Gray, Tennessee to view a Pliocene - epoch assemblage of fossils from 4.9 to 4.7 million years ago.

    It seems that back in May 2000 Tennesse was widening State Route 75. Geologists discovered rather interesting finds at the construction site and Governor Sundquist said, "Go around.! Go around!" (Those are my quotes but you get my drift.)

    Anyway, it turns out that the earth moving machines discovered a semicircular sinkhole in a pond environment that contained fossils of ancient plants and animals.

    I'm talking stuff you wouldn't see walking around Tennessee today.

    Alligators. Rhinos. Saber-Toothed Cats. And lots and lots of Tapirs. So many tapirs that experts have said it is the world's largest tapir fossil find.

    What the heck is a tapir you ask? Google it.

    Only 1% of the site has been explored. Future fossil recovery is projected for the next 100 years!!!!

    Staying in Knoxville tonight chilling out. Watched the end of Virginia Tech beating Liberty. Sandra will be happy.    Читать далее

    Murfreesboro, Tennessee

    25 марта 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Market Square in Knoxville, Tennessee was established in 1854 as a place for farmers to bring their produce to sell.

    Fast forward a few decades and you have a wonderful venue for concerts, political rallies, artists and musicians. City Hall is only a block or two away.

    It's also a great place to have lunch. The Oliver Royale provided some tasty treats in that department.

    Looming over downtown Knoxville is the Sunsphere which is left over from the 1982 World's Fair. The theme that year was: Energy Turns the World.

    Denny and I pushed on to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, where the Stones River National Battlefield is located. It is the site of a significant Civil War battle which resulted in a victory for the Union cause.

    Located on the battlefield is the Hazen Brigade Monument, one of the most moving tributes we have ever seen.

    Union Colonel William Hazen's men held their ground and never retreated during the fighting on December 31, 1862. Over 400 fell in the battle. Survivors of that terrible day erected a monument in 1863 because they did not want the world to forget.

    It is one of the oldest Civil War memorials in the country.    Читать далее

    Corinth, Mississippi

    26 марта 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    In 1809, Meriwether Lewis - yes, the same Lewis of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1804 - was traveling to Washington on the Old Natchez Trace. It was not a pleasure trip. He was headed to DC to defend some bills he had submitted as the governor of the Louisiana Territory. If payment was denied, the 35 year old would have pay them himself.

    Anyway - Lewis had a lot on his mind.

    Meriwether and his traveling companions stopped at a log cabin lodging house called Grinder's Stand and sometime during the night someone shot and killed him. Most reports at the time claimed that the shots were self-inflicted, but mystery still surrounds the event.

    They buried him here near the Grinder House and placed a stone monument over his grave with a broken shaft signifying a life cut short.

    The foundation of the house still remains.

    We left the modern day Trace and headed to the Shiloh Battlefield via a road that became known as the Trail of Tears. Thousands of Native Americans died along this road on their relocation trek west of the Mississippi.

    They named this battle Shiloh after the small church where much of the fighting took place.

    Shiloh is a biblical term for "Place of Peace "

    General Grant wanted to cut off Confederate supplies which were traveling down the Tennessee River and also by rail from two different lines.

    He almost didn't succeed. On April 6th, 1862 the day belonged to the Grays. But April 7th was a different story. The Blues prevailed and won the battle.

    Many Southerners described the battle as a Defeated Victory for the South.

    Unfortunately, this battle with its more than 23,000 casualties was not enough to end the war. It would drag on for three more long years.

    Shiloh - A Place of Peace.    Читать далее

    Winona, Mississippi

    27 марта 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Elvis Aaron Presley was born in a two room house in Tupelo, Mississippi on January 8, 1935. The "shotgun " house was built by his father, grandfather and uncle. Vernon and Gladys, Elvis's parents, struggled financially and the family decided to move to Memphis to seek a better life.

    It worked out.

    Tupelo is also home to a great car museum started by a man named Frank Spain. (It would be worth your while to Google the man. He led a truly remarkable life.)

    The Tupelo Automobile Museum showcases over 100 cars valued above $11 million. Denny and I spent the afternoon walking among them. It was a bitter sweet visit.

    When Mr. Spain died a number of years ago, his foundation took control of the museum. This Sunday is the last day of operation. All the cars will be auctioned off. How sad he would be.

    We finished up the day eating a Smash Burger and a Bash Burger at the Neon Pig served by Gabriel, a congenial young man with a whole lot to say.

    Tasty stuff.

    We drove about 60 miles on the Natchez Trace Parkway (beautiful, beautiful road) and landed in Winona, Mississippi.

    Wish we were doing it in Mr. Spain's Tucker!    Читать далее

    Vicksburg, Mississippi

    28 марта 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    Exploring the 16 miles of the Vicksburg National Military Park today was an unforgettable experience. Abraham Lincoln knew that Vicksburg was "the key! The war can never be brought to a close until that key is in our pocket," he said. After visiting the Park, Denny and I understand why he felt as he did.

    From its perch high above the Mississippi River, the city of Vicksburg controlled all traffic up and down the waterway. That meant Confederate supplies and troops could move at will to wherever they were needed. Lincoln knew the North must take the city and cut the Confederacy in two.

    Confederate General John C. Pemberton surrounded the city with a ring of forts. After several attempts to breach the fortifications, Union General Ulysses S. Grant ordered a formal siege which lasted for 45 days.

    Pemberton officially surrendered on July 4, 1863.

    At the same time that Vicksburg was falling, significant events were taking place at a little town in Pennsylvania called Gettysburg.    Читать далее

    29 марта 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    Roger and Becky, you were right. You need a lot more than one day at the Vicksburg Battlefield - so we went back today.

    Historians call it the site of the Surrender Interview. So genteel sounding after so much carnage. General Grant sat down with General Pemberton to decide on the terms of surrender and that was that. Vicksburg now belonged to the Union.

    The fighting in and around Vicksburg took place in the spring of 1863 but in December of 1862 the USS Cairo - one of America's first ironclad warships - was steaming up the Yazoo River. Part of its mission was to destroy Confederate batteries. Suddenly, two explosions tore holes into the warship and it sank within minutes.

    No crewmember was injured!

    The Cairo was salvaged in the 1960's and Denny and I were able to WALK through her today.

    Silt, sand and mud preserved the Cairo and much of its contents - including many personal items belonging to the crew. All are on display at the USS Cairo Museum.

    10 South Rooftop Bar and Grill sits on top of the First National Bank and Trust Company in downtown Vicksburg. Great lunch with our MLB expert Nick. Loved the back of his T-Shirt. It told us to Put Some South In Your Mouth.

    So we did.

    Drove to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Watching Virginia Tech playing Duke.

    Beaumont, Texas

    30 марта 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Denny and I amused ourselves this morning by watching tugboats, barges and freighters moving up and down the Mississippi River - right from our hotel window in downtown Baton Rouge.

    Storms were predicted so we headed out of town across the Mississippi, through Louisiana and into Texas. We arrived in Beaumont and made a stop at the gravesite of The Big Bopper (J. P. Richardson). He died, along with Buddy Holly and Ritchie Valens, in a plane crash in 1959. All three young musicians were just getting started in life. Tragic.

    So here we are in Beaumont, Texas. The rain did indeed arrive so we are happy to be high and dry.    Читать далее

    His mother could not decide what to name her son. She had three names picked out and in the end she named him all three - George Herbert Walker. The family's last name was tacked on at the end.

    Bush.

    Denny and I spent the day at the Bush Presidential Library and Museum. It is located on the campus of Texas A&M. Our 41st president and his wife Barbara are buried in a beautiful setting behind the Library.

    We followed the path around the Presidential Pond (catch and release) and onto a wooded trail to the gravesites. George is there. Along with Barbara and their daughter Robin - they lost her at the age of three to leukemia.

    Denny and I were not the only visitors to the gravesite today. There was a constant stream of people from all walks of life showing their respect to a good and decent man.

    Our day ended at Porters Dining + Butcher Restaurant. Nice filets with a dessert surprise from the staff.    Читать далее

    Dripping Springs, Texas

    1 апреля 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    Driving toward Dripping Springs we started seeing signs along the Old San Antonio Road and Texas State Road 21 telling us we were on the Original El Camino Real de los Tejas. Okay.

    Turns out these roads, and there are many of them in this country and Cuba, were built by the Spanish kingdom. The one Denny and I were driving on was the Spanish mission trail which ran through Texas and into Louisiana. Apparently it played a major role in the settlement, development and history of Texas.

    We started seeing our first beautiful Texas bluebonnets today along with the brightly colored orange Indian Paintbrushes. These were scattered alongside the highway as soon as we entered the Hill Country.

    Tomorrow promises to be filled with fields of them. Fingers crossed.

    Finished up the day with some real Texas BBQ at a place called Salt Lick - Joe and Marilyn's favorite spot.

    Thanks for the recommendation!    Читать далее

    Brownwood, Texas

    2 апреля 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    The little Native American girl overheard the elders of her tribe talking about how to ease the great drought. The Great Spirit decreed that a sacrifice of their most prized possession was required. The young girl went out and threw her beloved cornhusk doll into a fire. Her beautiful doll, dressed in a deerskin robe with horse hair braids and BLUE feathers, burned completely to ash. She then scattered the ashes to the east, west, north and south.

    In the morning the land was covered in green with magnificent patches of blue everywhere.

    We saw those magnificent patches of blue all over the Texas Hill Country today, the famous Texas bluebonnets.

    The orange Indian Paintbrush wildflowers bloom at the same time as the bluebonnets. There is a great legend about this flower as well.

    Author Tomie dePaola's book of Native American legends was one that I often shared with my class. Check him out.

    Denny and I started the day at the LBJ Ranch located in Stonewall, Texas. President Lyndon Baines Johnson loved it here. It is where he was born, where he first attended school and where he died and was buried in the family cemetery under two massive oak trees.

    As we drove around the ranch, we encountered some of the direct descendants of Johnson's Hereford cattle. They still roam this Texas White House.

    Joe and Marilyn, buddies of ours from our Chicago days, happened to be vacationing in Texas - they live in Kansas - so we hooked up with them for lunch today. We met at - where else - the Bluebonnet Cafe in Marble Falls.

    A really great day.    Читать далее

    Lubbock, Texas

    3 апреля 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    The contrast between the pump jacks and wind turbines was on stark display all along our route today as we traveled through west Texas.

    They call the turbines the State Bird of Texas, with good reason. There are over 10,000 of them in the state, which makes Texas the nation's leader in wind energy. It beats out the state in second place - Iowa - by a huge margin.

    We could not believe our eyes. Mile after mile as far as the eye could see were wind turbines. Thousands of them. It seems to be a really great deal for all parties involved. The farmers rent the land to the wind farm operators so everyone makes a profit. Not to mention the jobs that are brought into the area and the lower energy costs.

    A real win-win for all.

    Denny and I arrived in Lubbock, Texas 60 years and a few months after "The Day The Music Died."

    Buddy Holly was born here and after that fateful plane crash on February 3, 1959 he was buried here.

    We played his music as we drove into town singing along to some of our favorite songs. With his signature horn-rimmed glasses and Fender Stratocaster guitar he cut quite a figure in his/our time.

    "True Love Ways"
    "Peggy Sue"
    Oh, Boy"
    "That'll Be the Day"
    "Maybe Baby"

    Thank you, Buddy.    Читать далее

    Roswell, New Mexico

    4 апреля 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    Our drive today took us past more pump jacks and freshly plowed fields of iron rich red soil.

    Goodbye Texas. Hello New Mexico.

    The landscape sure was different once we crossed into the Land of Enchantment. We started looking for Walter White from Breaking Bad. Then suddenly we saw Sardine Mountain in the distance. Nice.

    Denny and I toured the UFO Museum in Roswell and spent some time at the Spring River Park and Zoo. They are just getting things up and running so we didn't get to see the antique carousel - which was the main reason for going. We did enjoy the antics of the black bears and loved seeing Gus and Lake, two rescued bald eagles. Their injuries were so severe they could not be returned to the wild.

    So far, no alien sightings but we will keep an eagle eye out.    Читать далее

    Dry. Very, very dry.

    Las Cruces, New Mexico only gets 9-10 inches of rain FOR THE WHOLE YEAR! Contrast that with Virginia's annual rate of 43 inches.

    The land is dusty. Sandy. Very little green around except where we saw some irrigation ditches that provide water to the crops. Then you had lush fields of green.

    And pecan trees. We saw mile after mile of pecan trees.

    The drive from Las Cruces, New Mexico to Tucson, Arizona was filled with warning signs about dust storms.

    Pull onto shoulder.
    Turn off car.
    No headlights.
    No brake lights.

    have had some problems with the travel blog - FindPenguins. Sorry about that. The app was updated yesterday so maybe the issues will be resolved. Sure hope so.

    Second of all - today was Denny Byrne's 73rd birthday!

    Happy Birthday to Dennis Wm. Byrne. 🎂

    We hung around Phoenix checking out the downtown area and then headed out of town. The temperature was 96 degrees and the wind was blowing like crazy.

    By the time we rolled into Yuma the gusts were up to 50 mph and the air was filled with dust. Thank goodness we didn't have to pull off the road.

    10 апреля 2019 г., Соединенные Штаты ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Yuma, Arizona is the oldest city established on the Colorado River and just chock full of history. We spent some time at the Yuma Territorial Prison State Historic Park.

    Yikes!

    The prison was built in 1876 and many of the buildings have been preserved and look exactly as they did 143 years ago including the Sally Port - the check point where prisoners entered and left, the Cell Block and - wait for it - the Dark Cell.

    An iron cage was placed inside a cave carved out of rock. Prisoners would be placed in the Dark Cell for various infractions of the rules. Not a fun time.

    We climbed up a reconstructed Guard Tower which sits on top of the Prison's original water supply and then visited the cemetery. 104 inmates were buried in this harsh place.

    Right next to the Prison is the Ocean to Ocean Bridge. It was built across the Colorado in 1915 and allowed folks to travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific without having to get on a ferry. The Union Pacific added a railroad crossing in 1923 and as luck would have it a train crossed the river right before we left.

    Denny and I had lunch in the historic section of Yuma at a place called Prison Hill Brewing Company. The owner and brewmaster is the great grandson of Jesus Gil, who served time at the Prison.

    As we drove along the California/Mexico border we passed the Imperial Sand Dunes and in the distance we could see part of the 654 mile Border Wall which was built in 2006 as a result of the Secure Fence Act. One of the locals told us where to look for it and sure enough there it was.
