You could say that 2024 has been a year filled with contradictions. The awesome power and determination of water to foment destruction from the gulf shores to the Appalachian Mountains played out around us. The wrath of the storm was followed by rivers of people and supplies, truckloads of hay and rocks, warm hugs and encouraging words. ...read more

Fall is the season best known for its bounty. After all, it hosts the holiday we most associate with food. Before Thanksgiving, though, there are plenty more fall feasts! Autumn is harvest season with offerings of crisp apples and hearty veggies, tailgating season where portable grills turn out parking lot delicacies, and – don’t forget – fair season packed with deep-fried deliciousness and caramel-covered, sugar-dusted delights. ...read more

Even before we bought the Mast General Store, we were taken by the beauty of Valle Crucis. We’ve heard people describe the drive out Broadstone Road as traveling through a time portal. In the 1970s, fields in the river bottoms would be filled with tobacco, cabbage, or high with hay to feed cattle that were grazing in the summer pasture. ...read more

The lucky few who have seen the Earth from a different perspective – astronauts - all echo the same viewpoint upon their return. Yuri Gagarin, a Russian cosmonaut and the first human to go to space, commented, “Orbiting Earth in the spaceship, I saw how beautiful our planet is. People, let us preserve and increase this beauty, not destroy it.”

“Whoa, what is that?” I screamed with excitement. “It’s an elk,” my friend Cathy responded. I had never seen such a creature. It was amazing, and what made it even more amazing was the beautiful alpine tundra on which the elk and its counterparts were standing. We had made it…Rocky Mountain National Park. This place was not like anything I had ever seen or experienced before. ...read more

In late September 2013, I visited the Outer Banks of North Carolina. One of the highlights of the trip was a stop at Bodie Lighthouse on the Oregon Inlet in Nags Head, NC. It had recently undergone major renovations that finished at the end of March 2013. Luckily for me, it was now open for the public to explore the interior of the lighthouse! ...read more

I’ve long been a fan of America’s National Parks. This probably began the summer I worked in Yellowstone while I was a college student. At 21-years-old, visiting Yellowstone was a life altering-experience. Although I’ve visited quite a few national parks, Yellowstone has remained my favorite. ...read more

The desert offers both magical and mystical beauty. When I’m still, I can see the changes in the color of the landscape, and discover nature I didn’t see at first glance. As I see these things, I hear the desert calling me. ...read more

The first field trip went on was in first grade to Tuckaleechee Caverns in Townsend, Tennessee. This trip was the first time I became fascinated by caves and bats. Once I learned about Mammoth Cave from the weekly reader during elementary school, I made a plan to someday visit there. It was interesting to me to know the largest cave system on the planet was less than 200 miles from home. Experts have explored 400 miles of Mammoth Cave, but there’s still much more to explore. After a little research, I put the cave at the top of my to-do list. ...read more

I participated in the Bikecentennial ‘76. This landmark event consisted of a series of bicycle tours on the TransAmerica Bicycle Trail across the United States in the summer of 1976 in commemoration of the bicentennial of America's Declaration of Independence. Best of all, I was able to enjoy several national parks from the comfort of my bicycle. ...read more
