Style Weekly was kind enough to allow me to share a few of my favorite spots on the James River in its Best of Richmond edition.

Phil Riggan at Pipeline Rapids CREDIT: Scott Elmquist, Style WeeklyMy favorites are those that are tough to reach without a paddle — natural wonders that can make you forget that you’re in the middle of the city. See the story on Style Weekly, I don’t want to spoil the list here. Honestly, I’ll bet many of you have been to these places, but the average land-locked Richmonder may not have.

Thank you to reporter Melissa Scott Sinclair for including me and to photographer Scott Elmquist for the cool photo, which was taken under the observation deck at Pipeline Rapids Walkway.

Also, thanks to all my volunteer friends and people that help make the James River a special place for the City of Richmond.
