West Virginia’s White Rock Cliff Hike

  • by L
  • Posted on July 25, 2019July 23, 2021

This cliff view resembled a painting: There were trees with pops of vibrant reds, yellows, and greens — others, white with flower pedals. Then, as if it couldn’t get any better, a bald eagle shot out from the valley, swooping in the air before circling over the Blue Ridge.

Virginia’s Peaks of Otter’s Sharp Top Mountain Hike

  • by L
  • Posted on June 2, 2019July 23, 2021

Virginia’s Mount Pleasant Hike

  • by L
  • Posted on May 9, 2019July 23, 2021

Virginia’s Bearfence Mountain/Bear Church Rock Hike

  • by L

We are taking a break from working on the Cortez today to go hiking with our son, Lysander. Ly is remarkable and learned tricks, button communication, and walks on a leash 💙 Y’all, look at our super sexy engine now! 📸 Our paint work continues as I clean and primer before Andy paints the power steering pump, pulleys, dip stick, and fan. This means we are bringing out the silvers, blacks, and original Chrysler blue to make our Chrysler/Dodge V8 engine shine.
