\"\"<\/a>We’ve put the house I grew up in<\/a> on the market. (Or … almost. I think it officially goes on the market tomorrow.) <\/p>\n

Pigweed and I (and some friends) just got back from Big Meadows, in Shenandoah National Park. That was fun. One of the trails had a couple nice waterfalls, and one of them had a swimming hole at the bottom. It was cold, but refreshing! <\/p>\n

The wildlife is so tame in the park that the deer will walk right past you, and even the birds will come pick around just next to your feet. A raven flew right through out camp, which was cool. All the campsites have bear boxes in which you are required to store all your food whenever you are not in camp. <\/p>\n

The weather was lovely. While it was in the 90s in the D.C. area, it was 75 in the mountains, and in the low 60s at night. <\/p>\n

We usually end our camping trips with breakfast at a diner, or some mom and pop restaurant, and I almost always get eggs and scrapple. It’s the only time I eat scrapple, which I really enjoy, but know is not good for me. <\/p>\n

Pigweed and I tried to listen to Nature<\/i> by Henry David Thoreau on the drive home. What a load of horse manure that thing is! We’re going to do a P&C episode on it soon. <\/p>\n

I try to unplug when I go away, and now I’m slipping back into regular life, and catching up on the latest. <\/p>\n
