Top 5 Places For Summer Camping

May 10, 2019 by Harry StarkeLeave a Comment

Summer is here in full swing and there is no activity that will bring the family together like camping. Getting in the outdoors and connecting with nature will provide both you and your family with an experience that you wouldn’t be able to find anywhere else. That being said, hitting the great outdoors isn’t just as easy as packing up the camping equipment and heading into the woods. No, you need the right destination in order to get the most … [Read more...]

Bold Colors are Gearing Up on Virginia’s Creeper Trail

December 17, 2018 by Sarah C Miller5 Comments

A helicopter pilot by trade, my favorite way to take in the fall foliage for years has been to cruise around on a sunny day at about five hundred feet when colors are at their peak.  It was my favorite - until I rode a bicycle down Virginia’s Creeper Trail in autumn.  Sure, the more vertically challenged can still get great expansive views by driving down the Blue Ridge Parkway or Skyline Drive.  Still, there is just something about being in the … [Read more...]

How to Prepare and Pack Like a Pro for a Trip

July 6, 2018 by DaveLeave a Comment

After 20+ years of traveling, a question I am asked every now and then is, "I will be traveling to (fill in the destination here) - how should I pack?" And the answer that I always reply with is, "pack light"! I'm less concerned with how long you are going for and where you are going - as I have lightweight options that will work for general travel to most destinations on the planet regardless of whether your trip is a week or 2 months. One … [Read more...]

Here Be Dragons: The “Sacred Terror” of the Alps of Switzerland

January 19, 2016 by Richard Bangs1 Comment

"Placed on this planet since yesterday, and only for a day, we can only hope to glimpse the knowledge that we will probably never attain." -Horace-Bénédict de Saussure, 1796 Dateline: Mount Pilates, Switzerland I've penned a few books that have been placed in the category of "wilderness travel."

Pittsburgh: Land of Celebrities

August 14, 2015 by Marianne RuaneLeave a Comment

I am a self-acknowledged history nerd with a film degree. I had no idea that Pittsburgh had an abundance of sites covering my two big interests - colonial and current celebrities. Mostly I am interested in the places celebrities were - so that I can stand in, sit on, or touch the same spot. I imagine I am forging a connection that transcends space and time, that the celebrity's genius energy can infiltrate my own and affect it in a positive … [Read more...]

Virginia is for Foodies

June 12, 2013 by Allison TibaldiLeave a Comment

Even if you arrive in Virginia knowing not a soul, don’t be surprised if you leave feeling as if you’ve broken bread and shared drink with good folk who are now friends. That’s the way Virginia strikes me. I come here to eat, drink and contemplate its natural beauty, but am most deeply affected by its people. It’s a truly welcoming place, even to a Northern stranger like me. I recently road- tripped my way through the Commonwealth in search … [Read more...]
