Ukraine vs. Midwest

UK vs. Midwest

They say that Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe. How does it compare in site to the Midwest?

Walking Along Ledge

Walking along the ledge at the Hannacroix Preserve as the sun sets and the mountains are backlit in the last few hours of day, and feeling it gives me seeing the mountains lit up like that around dusk.

Ain’t Gotta Dollar – Oliver Anthony

|

I concede listening to Oliver Anthony may be a bad influence, but his music is so good. I mean he lives the good life.

Well I ain't gotta dollar
But I don't need a dime
I've got a little spot in the country
Where I spend all my time
And when the Sun goes down
On this itty bitty town
We can light up a bowl and pass it around
Cause I ain't got a dollar
But I don't need a dime

Now the rain could be falling
Or the sun shining down
As long as my old truck still fires on up
And there's crops growing in the ground
We'll have to pick some muscadines right off the vines
Get a little yeast and make a little wine
Cause I ain't got a dollar
But I don't need a dime

Hannacroix Ravine Preserve

Hannacroix Ravine Preserve spans 415 acres and is managed by The Nature Conservancy, welcoming visitors to explore its natural beauty. Situated on the western outskirts of New Scotland, it serves as the origin of Hannacrois Creek. The highlight of the preserve is Sliding Rock Falls, a 30-foot waterfall visible from the main trail that loops around the area, totaling about 3 miles. While the hike is moderate and generally uneventful, hikers may catch a glimpse of the falls from certain vantage points along the trail.
