Desertsun41, Vent away. Buckroe Beach and the ammusement park. Ocean View(awsome this past summer) the way they have revitalized and clean it up. crabbing and diving for conk shells many moons ago. All the hidden cascade waterfalls in Virginia. Friday evenings in the park. Bald Knob and Humpack Rock, Watching the sunset from Blue Ridge Parkway, Humpback Bridge. LOL, I took off one sunday by myself and went to Waltons Mountain. Home truly is where the heart is.

Ocean View has cleaned up? Bout time. What a dump and a vast waste land of the most beautiful stretch of beach. That area was itching for some one to come in and bring back its old glory.

So you went to Waltons Mountain too. Good !! The Museum Curator said some times without notice Earl Hammer stops at the school house, now museum and talks to visitors. He signs autographs as Earl Hammer AKA John Boy Walton. He really did become a writer and lives in NYC to this day.

Within 5-10 minutes of Waltons Mountain is I think it is Thomas Jefferson's home which is open for touring. What hard times it must have been during the depression in those days.

Just send me some of those chocolate double dipped cashews from Virginia Diner so I can survive here.

Electron, Thanks for the pic, I use to do the loop by the cascade golf course and then up the road to rt 220 alot. I'd always forget the camera or get there and the battery would be dead. I wish I could find the pic of Lake Moomaw taken from atop of Airport Road in Bath County. The mountains form a bowl with the lake being the water inside.
