The Town Of Clifton, And Lessons In Physics From My Water Bottle

There And Back Again ― Mile 2,000 for this year found me in the town of Occoquan, on the banks of the river which goes by the same name. I was making a rare trip northward into Fairfax County. I only make this trip about one time per year because it takes me that long ...

How I Cheated Death At Lake Anna

There And Back Again ― Sometimes, goals can be helpful and today was one of those times. The cold and wind would have certainly kept me indoors but for my goal of reaching 3,000 miles for the year. I was 35 miles away and it … Continue reading →
