Spring is almost here. By some reckonings, it arrived on March 1, but for me I judge by the crocus blossoms, and they are still a few weeks away.
It's a time of year when I start thinking about recreation in the Shenandoah Valley, using Hawksbill Cabin as a basecamp. We'll hike up in Shenandoah National Park, maybe do a canoe float on the river...and then, the farmers market in Luray will open and we'll start to grill with fresh vegetables and locally raised meat every weekend. Add in a relaxing Sunday at Wisteria Vineyards, and you'll have a complete lifestyle statement!
During these last few days of hunkering down waiting for a thaw, my mind also wonders to adventures of the past. My friend Marilyn discovered this high density video taken in Yosemite National Park - I've been fortunate enough to go three times, counting the Half Dome summit as among my achievements - but I never tire of getting another look at that remarkable landscape:
