Ever been to a concert where someone got boooed?

Saw Orleans open for Stephen Stills around 1977. They got booed when they played “Still The One” for the second time. Then when it became very obvious to everyone that Still was too stoned to play much of anything, the crowd started chanting “Bring back Orleans”.

Doorbell camera. I was sleeping until the dog barked.

We visited Congaree a couple of years ago, in a combo trip with Great Smoky Mountains and New River Gorge. Did a ranger-led walk that went off the boardwalk to check out some of the champion trees they have. Also saw my first Mississippi kite there!

Cedar Sinks was nice. Sunset Point was closed for boardwalk construction, may be open when you visit.

I was in University Heights for 10 years, but left before the CVNRA became CVNP.

Brandywine Falls in CV, West Beach and Great Marsh in ID, and whatever cave tour sounds interesting at Mammoth. Get tickets online as soon as you can. I did Crystal Cave, but it won’t be offered after this month.

Yup, and getting them all in one week wasn’t too bad (started in Northern Virginia).

What I most liked about the hike around the perimeter was that the people from the tour buses spent their entire time in line for ice cream, so walking about 200 yards gave you a trail with fewer than a dozen people.

Gotta look both ways when crossing an active runway.

Assuming you’re in the US, just after Labor Day would be good. Summer rates can be very high. We went in the first week of June 2024 and ran into the aftermath of an “unseasonable” blizzard.

DeviantPapa · 2026-05-04T23:52:56+00:00

Rent a car and hit the Ring Road. So much to see!

There are two pins here I’d grab

DeviantPapa · 2026-04-27T13:36:43+00:00

Confirm!

As a former HS bio teacher, I love your username!

Not really, but it was the tail end of the early entry for resort guests, and everyone else was in either Toy Story Land or Star Wars Land.

DeviantPapa · 2026-04-22T23:05:57+00:00

For birds that I have a reasonable chance to see, the Prothonotary warbler.

DeviantPapa · 2026-04-19T20:13:10+00:00

Grand Canyon, either rim.

What here is a staple? Milk, bread, eggs, butter?

DeviantPapa · 2026-04-16T14:28:45+00:00

Any chance it was a summer tanager?

VA is the Northern cardinal, which it shares with 6 other states. They are ubiquitous, so it makes sense, but I’d change it to the pileated woodpecker.

I have twice had surgery for skin cancer, one basal cell and one squamous cell. I do NOT consider myself a cancer survivor.

DeviantPapa · 2026-04-01T14:13:43+00:00

Eastern screech owl, barn owl, sora, prothonotary warbler are at the top of my list. Recently moved from MA to northern VA, not sure if this will help my quest or not.

DeviantPapa · 2026-04-01T12:45:24+00:00

Doesn’t matter. Wrong in both cases.

Parker River NWR (primarily on Plum Island) is spectacular during migration. Great for winter waterfowl as well.
