Doug Hale356 viewsOn 6 June, 1944 Doug Hale stood up. He stood up when he drove his landing craft ashore, delivering young men who will never grow old.

He stated he bent over to release the "Dogs" that held the ramp and missed a bullet that struck right behind him

He hasn't quit, still maintains his half of Guest River Railtrail at Coeburn, Va.

DOUG HALE, STAND UP! Now Doug take a bow........and thanks Doug.

Wood Snake?369 viewsNo such thing as a Wood Snake? Maybe a Copper Head, quiet common around here?? So, don't zoom in or enlarge the photo, make a guess what type snake this is.

Is too a Wood Snake.......... Zoom in and see. What the hay, I thought it was a snake and I was there with it, just below Lower Clear Branch Falls. Started to whack it with the Roaming Knob buuuut, nobody was looking so i just kind of eased on out.

Should have stopped right there, but this was too good to keep to myself.

Oh, yeah, Virginia Creeper Trail August 12, 2011.
