Riding the Royal Shenandoah Greenway
While Front Royal, Virginia is known as an Appalachian Trail community, the AT isn't the only trail in town. Here's my ride along the new Royal Shenandoah Greenway, a 4.5-mile loop which opened earlier this year on Arbor Day.

The buzzing sound in the distance caught our attention as we pulled into Conway on Michigan’s North Western State Trail: a most unusual boat race on Crooked Lake!
Paddling Petoskey
Paddling along Lake Michigan at Petoskey was a bit intimidating for a Floridian who is used to sandy, not rocky, shores. But the views and clear water made for a fascinating trip.
