On another ramble with a new tiny trailer a few years back we set the gps for Hot Springs VA but allowed ourselves to be sidetracked along the way by wonderful and delightful things. But this time we wanted to actually get there. We programmed the Maps App for neighboring Warm Springs and avoided the interstate. We were routed into West Virginia and actually drove part of the way along Sam Snead Parkway past The Greenbriar Resort. You have to look carefully to find Warm Springs, Virginia and in fact the Maps App wasn’t quite sure where it was. But we found Hot Springs and friendly people at the BB&T and the Chamber of Commerce. They helped us find a campsite Hidden Valley in the George Washington National Forest. So tonight we are camping off grid. We have our brand new 80W Zamp solar collector hooked up to the battery soaking up the last rays of sunshine. Tonight will be a test for the new refrigerator. In the meantime it is rather salubrious to just sit here among trees, near a meadow, and listen to the sounds of nature while spinning and reading.

OUR VERY

LATEST

Burgh House Hampstead

Burgh House Hampstead

Off the beaten path is Hampstead is the more than three hundred year old Burgh House with a fascinating history. It’s now a community center, local museum, gallery, concert venue, event space, and more open to the public four days a week. We popped over for a bite to eat and to peruse the galleries to learn a little more about Hampstead history.

Wicked The Musical

Wicked The Musical

Ever since its debut on Broadway the two of us have wanted to see “Wicked the Musical”. Today we realized that dream. In the Apollo Victoria Theater in London’s West End we were witness to the incredible prequel to The Wizard of Oz, the story of the Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
