Appalachian Trail, Big Island, VA. 24526
James River Foot Bridge
Dedicated: October 14, 2000

These were taken on the same day when we did visit "Big Otter Mill, Bedford, VA", if you did miss that post, please check it out ...always fun to see bits and pieces of the Appalachian Trail. Such a gorgeous area of Virginia. A bit of a breeze out on those waters. I saw some folks kayaking and I was so jealous ...wish we would have had our kayaks. Wish a train would have come by when we were walking out there, that would have been way awesome!! I could have video taped that, maybe next time??! Hope you are well this week. THANKS, for stopping by. See ya next time! Beth ( ;

So Beautiful!
I used to dream about hiking that trail.
Couple of years ago I had the honor of helping a foreign student read about adventures there . . . different kind of adventure, i suppose . . super rewarding.

Makes me happier to see/know - YOU'VE been there . . and you're generous enough to share these photos and thoughts with me.
love & love, -g-

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...
