The Beginning....

The Beginning....
When William Least Heat-Moon toured the country many years ago, his steed, if you will, was a van that he named Ghost Dancing. His journey of America was 13,000 miles. His book is Blue Highways, A Journey Into America. My steed will be a Subaru WRX (traded for an XV Crosstrek). My travels will be, what in the past were called, the blue highways of Virginia. Years ago, maps showed secondary roads in blue. Yes, the ones less traveled.

Hwy 55....Great Food, Reasonable Prices, Terrific Old-Time Ambiance, Pleasant Staff, and Attentive Servers.....






Have been a little under the weather lately. Wanted to get out today, temperatures in low 70s, bright sky with no overcast.

Went by Sea Shore State Park for a few minutes and then off to Hwy 55.


Got what I think is called the Andy Burger...though could be wrong. Anyway, it's a huge cheeseburger with a ton of fries.

Lauren, my waitress, is on summer break from Quinnipiac University where she is pursuing a Ph.D. in physical therapy.

Quinnipiac sound familiar? Yep, they are the folks who do all the polls.

Thanks Lauren for putting up with an old guy.

All in all, a pleasant day.

I'm enjoying using black and white. I used the original GR, often called GRI, ASA 400, and little PP.



BTW, He is still alive. But, Hey, you guys knew that, didn't you?
