Every writer has a specialty - my legacy may be #minigolf! Here’s my latest for @gardenandgun. Someday I hope to install a backyard course with dinosaurs and windmills. Until then, I’ll live out my dreams through the pros! bit.ly/4eXxhG3
Proud to be contributing to this year's @TravelUnity conference talking about the exciting growth in #civilrights tourism
I’m proud to have the cover story for @VirginiaLiving magazine, which took me on a hunt with #raptors on a snowy #Shenandoah Valley morning. I can’t take credit for the stunning photography, but it was fascinating to spend time with these gorgeous, wild birds @OmniHomestead

I’ve gotten tons of comments about this article on the unusual marriage of William & Mary. Their reign sounds like a bad #realityTV dating show, but its influence still resonates today

Had a spectacular visit to this gorgeous historic inn that just (re)opened in Virginia’s New River Trail State Park. It has a fascinating backstory - a former mining company inn & orphanage
