We were impressed with the history of this UNESCO location. One of the premier Indian civilizations of the western hemisphere. Unfortunately, the site in person was not very impressive at all. A lot was left to your imagination.Read more

Wow. What a beautiful bluebird day! We were amazed by the scenery and history we explored and experienced today. Over 1300 memorials, big and small. Deep ravines, rolling hills, huge fortifications, strategic high points/overlooks, and artistic tributes every step of the way.Read more

Great drive through Northern Alabama! Curvy. Remote. Great views! This is said to be the deepest canyon east of the Mississippi River.

There is something so very captivating about the Southern Appalachians. The depth? The texture? The people? Or, maybe it’s my connection and love of the trail. Our plans were to start the Blue Ridge Parkway and proceed north. Nope. Closed?!? It was a Wally World moment for us. Really?!? Headed up to my best friend’s house to seek refuge from the pending Siberian Siege. Merry Christmas to all.Read more

The hard cold spell is starting to dissipate in Northern Virginia. We are able to make it out to some great spots along the Shenandoah River. We are excited to keep exploring this area.

Had a fabulous time in the next valley over from Woodstock. More great views (storybook trail hike) and civil war history today. We were also very amused and impressed with the Cooter’s collection of Dukes of Hazard cars and memorabilia. Took us back to our childhood.Read more

What an outstanding place! I’ve always heard great things about it. Confluence of a couple of water ways. Halfway on the Appalachian Trail. The Appalachian Trail conservatory. A definite must see.

The bloodiest day in American history. Over 23,000 soldiers killed, wounded, or missing after twelve hours of savage warfare. Very impressive view and depiction of this brutal day’s events.
