“Wait a minute, garrrr…..this t’aint me sloop!”

On a visit to Price Park this past Tuesday, daughter found this flip flop downstream from Price Lake. After a short hike, we enjoyed a midday cool off in a small creek named Boone Fork near the picnic area and trail of the same name. This week is also Price Pals week on the Blue Ridge Parkway where Junior Rangers can learn all sorts of information about animals and vegetation within the forest. We plan to attend friday’s session for sure as it is “Wilderness Survival Day” which includes instruction on ways to build a shelter and fire, and also how to canoe your way around Price Lake.

Summer Solstice Sunset

Well this photo was actually taken after the sun set below the horizon and is really of the few rays that stick around after the sun fully disappears but the title sounded so good. We ventured out to Price Park to meet some friends but we were too late so we headed down to Price Lake and the view was too beautiful not to have recorded. Looking at it now, the composition could have used some adjusting.
