Day 5- The Builtmore

Une dernière caverne et encore des courbes!
Ce matin, on visite une dernière caverne, The Lost Sea Adventure. C'est une caverne pas trop spectaculaire comparée à celles qu'on a vues auparavant, sans trop de formations spéciales, mais elle a un "twist" particulier, un lac sous-terrain! C'est un ...
Reflections
This trip is my first to a third or second world country and I'm still searching for a way to articulate the experience. People ask, "Was it wonderful?" And it was in many ways, and it wasn't. "Was it life changing?" No, but definitely life ...
For all you farmers out there...
The train route between Delhi and Haridwar was my only opportunity to see the countryside, since the other train trips were at night. I snapped pictures through the window trying to capture the farming, brick making and dung patty operations along the ...

Bloomin heaven or hell?

Step back in time
... ride. Temps ranged from 64 to 41F but the clearer atmosphere led to spectacular views at times. I was about 20 miles outside of Asheville, coming around a sweeping curve to a... closed set of gates. Huh? Well, with no facilities open, no signs warning of ...
OCTOBER 2008
This past October was a busy month as usual! It all started with a show in Greenville SC with Jimmy Brown. We both played to an almost empty house!! It was the same weekend that the gas prices were ski rocketing. There was literally no one out in ...
