Filled up on breakfast before heading out at approx 8:30. As the day was already warm, we got some ice from the hotel and put some drinks in the little esky we had bought. Topped up the car with fuel and off we went.
It was a bright day so it was pretty easy driving. Even though there was mountains all around us, they were way off in the distance so there wasn‘t a lot to see. We did manage to f Read on...
Sunday: National Park #16 was visited today- Shenandoah National Park which is about an hours drive from DC. The park is divided nicely into 3 regions so I explored the northern part first. I did a hike to the top of Marys rock- a part of the park where the skyline drive is not on the ridge line but instead a tunnel that was blasted by dynamite. The parks greatest asset is skyline drive- 105 miles Read on...
Shanas garden is much more lush and overgrown than mine. CiCi always finds a soft, green patch for relaxing.

The front of the cathedral. Looks very similar to Laons cathedral from which the design is inspired, just bigger. It has a huge number of statues built in. De voorkant van de kathedraal. Deze lijkt erg op die van Laon, waarop het ontwerp is gebaseerd, alleen groter. In deze voorkant is een enorm aantal beelden ingebouwd.
Een korte dag vandaag: 19.0 km. We zijn om 7 uur uit onze B&B vertrokken van Read on...
changed how I do everything, including Geocaching. We werent allowed to Geocache for a while and that was fine. I followed the rules. But when we were allowed to get out there again I took my 7 year old granddaughter Geocaching as she loves the challenge and is far better at it than I am. We decided to search for a Geocache which is not even showing on my map now. I have no idea why. We had to wa Read on...
Sunday: I think everyone knows that Vermont and particularly southern Vermont is known for ski resorts. There are 2 slopes within 25 minutes of my place and I think close to a dozen within an hour drive. But what do those resorts do in the summer? Well they try to make some money and keep some year round staff by having summer activities on the mountain. The chair lifts that go to the top of the m Read on...
