ENCHANTED ROCK Climbing a geologic marvel in the heart of Texas Hill Country “Will we be able to climb up to the top? It seems rocky and difficult. Will we be able to make it?

It was July 4th at the New River Gorge in West Virginia. It was dark, and I was on the roof of a truck clinging to the roof rack as we wound through the twisting back roads en route to the edge of the gorge. This had not been the plan.

It is a destination where one can just as easily opt for a short cruise or a longer one and still be exposed to different countries and cultures. And with plenty of beaches and year round warm weather, I've found myself in the Caribbean every November or December the past few … [Read more...]
