Sailing Yorktown
On our visit to Yorktown, I saw the city as the French first did in 1781, when the fleet of Admiral De Grassein arrived to support General Washington’s attack on Yorktown.
The Barefoot Mailman
Hiking barefoot in Florida isn’t new. Back in the 1880s, it was part of your job description if you delivered mail between Palm Beach and Miami.
The American Revolution Museum at Yorktown
It’s not often that you get a behind-the-scenes look at a museum before it opens. The new 80,000 square foot American Revolution Museum at Yorktown should open later this year.
Fall Color on Skyline Drive
Enjoy the glorious colors of autumn leaves along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park in October. The 105-mile historic parkway offers unparalleled vistas.
Patagonia, in perspective
At the edge of Lago Grey in Torres Del Paine National Park, Chile, the vastness of the landscape is highlighted by the size of hikers passing massive icebergs.
London Bridge by Jet Boat
Taking a 6-hour tour from Laughlin, Nevada to the (original) London Bridge in Arizona is quite a commitment of time, but a fascinating Colorado River journey.
Rusty & Paulas
A surprise stop along US 301 in Bamberg, South Carolina leads us to a heaping helping of fine Southern cooking at Rusty and Paula's.
You Can't Go Back
Driving US 301 north from Georgia into South Carolina for the first time in decades, I'm in shock at how a once-regular stop for my family, Allendale, has fallen into ruin.
Sailing Fort Lauderdale
For a relaxing cruise along Fort Lauderdale Beach and a snorkel offshore, take a trip on the Spirit of Lauderdale to gawk at Millionaire’s Row and sail the Atlantic.
The Field of Dreams
Build it, and they will come. Americana runs deep, especially on the Fourth of July, when you discover a famous baseball diamond on a cornfield in rural Iowa.
