So long, RVA!

My kids and I were exploring at the huge sandy beach across from takeout at Huguenot Flatwater when we discovered the freakiest and coolest lime green, hard, bumpy fruits under a thorny hardwood tree. The trees have very thorny branches and the fruit was about the same size as a tennis ball (same color too). From the […]
From the Friends of the James River Park: OK, here it is. The DMV and the Friends are waiting for the metal prototype to arrive from the vendor for approval. After that, the DMV will need to order the metal sheeting, make the things, and then mail them out. According to the DMV’s time line, […]
This is an ideal time to paddle in the Falls of the James River if you’re looking for great fall foliage. The best way to see the leaves may be while floating. See the full post and a slideshow from a paddle trip down the James on Richmond.com
Apparently, industrial tourism is a growing business around the world, as remnants of industry’s past and bastions of its present draw visitors who are curious about society’s growth over time. I guess the former VEPCO plant on Belle Isle is our next tourist trap? The BBC has created a list of industrial tours designed with these travellers […]

After getting clued in to the scaffoldings by Andrew Phinney on Sept. 20, I’ve heard from many river-goers about the structures. They are relatively harmless looking, although any of us that have seen […]
My family and I were out for a fun paddle on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and had decided to stop on the rocks at the Powhite Ledges when we were chased down by a fisherman who needed help. Turns out he had two large catfish that he’d caught in the calm waters of the James River […]
Back in 2008, I participated in a cleanup with the James River Association called the Extreme Stream Makeover, which was an effort to plant riparian buffers and clean trash from several tributaries of the James River, including Upham Brook. That was very worthwhile volunteering and I made connections with some very fun people. Now this […]
I got an email from Heather Markel from Hands On Greater Richmond this week thanking all volunteers for their time the weekend of September 11. My son and I volunteered with Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay for a Reedy Creek cleanup. Thank you for volunteering for the 9/11 Day of Service and Remembrance! It was an exciting and […]
With most of the What is this? photos I’ve posted in the past, I’ve known what I was posting and wanted others to guess what or where the photo is located. This time, I’m hoping someone knows what this thing is. Just after paddling under the Atlantic Coast Line Bridge and through the Choo Choo […]
