What Niche are You?

We hosted a beginner bird banding class last week, limited to 8 people, and sold out early. These folks spent an intensive week learning how to net, identify, band and release birds safely. Some birds are well-named. This is one. Many have names that have nothing to do with the bird, but that is its own rant […]

Who scheduled June?!?

Whose idea was June anyway? It is crazy hectic. Too hectic. Or maybe that’s what makes us really appreciate summer vacation even more. Yes, hectic non-stop events and special occasions. Just look at this line up. First, school is not out yet for some poor unlucky saps. They are strapped down till mid-month while siblings […]

Liars! All Around Us!

Timberdoodles are liars. I love them dearly, but they lie. Liars and the false hope they bring. These dang daffodils are liars too! Why do I believe them every year? When will it end? Our last frost date here in The New River Gorge is mid-May. That is, if you are on top of the […]

Does Everyone Have the Chemical Spill Wrong?

I recently heard something pretty shocking, and I wonder if you guys agree? I shared a chair lift with a guy and his son from Roanoke, Va., while skiing at Snowshoe. He stunned me by asking if we are in the area affected by the chemical spill. Why, no. That is on a different river, […]

Romance for Amateurs: Tips to A Pro Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day and New Years Eve are similar holidays— they are both for amateurs. The pros are doing this stuff year-round. I am not saying we should blow them off, because they are great and serve a wonderful purpose, like New Year’s lets people who are not celebrities get out and have a big night. […]

I Lied About the Chemical Spill

I lied. I said that we are not in the area affected by the chemical spill. The whole country is affected by the Freedom Industries chemical spill into the Elk River. We all know that industry is like a child. Pushing the limits, testing the boundaries, getting away with whatever they can in the name […]

They had me at…

They had me at Dangerous! The Via Ferrata. No, this is not really about our cabins, but some things are worth talking about, even if you won’t get any cabin bookings from it. I really did not pay any attention to the planning, as I was going on this end-of-summer family trip regardless of what […]
