Roadside Guide to Geology of Virginia

This is a good series Im still reading the one on Washington State and its great for an amatuer geologist like myself. Caution though it is based on evolution so how things got to where they are is based on that but the geological sciences for the Present make it very good

Virginia has Moderate EQ Risk

Virginia EQ's

natural Hazards of Virginia

I forget how do you make those fake volcanos with the clay... you mix what with what to produce the overflow of volcanic ooze

I've really gotten too comfortable on the Puritanboard in my ten months here... I say the most insignificant, random, extraneous non-sense... If there was a poll, about who made the most irrelevant and off-the-wall posts on the Puritanboard than surely I would take top honors.
 
Virginia's Natural Bridge:

I miss ole Virginia. It is for Lover's. I really, really miss it. I use to motorcycle to the Blue Rige for down time and camping.
 
You should visit all of our natural wonders like Philpott Lake, Smith Mountain Lake, and the Dismal Swamp Canal...
:banana:
 
I was joking blade... those so called natural wonders are all man-made... two are dammed resevoirs and the other is a canal (i.e. intracoastal waterway).

Mabry%20Mill.jpg

Floyd County, Virginia not far from where I live... Mabry Mill off the southern end of the Blue Ridge Parkway. It had a nice old country store that serves the best blueberry pancakes and breakfast in the whole Commonwealth-- well it's comparable to Cracker Barrel... I'd have to check to see if it is still in business.

There is a plantation homestead less than 1/4 mile from my house around the corner where Patrick Henry's brother is purported to have maintained a residence... it overlooks the Dan River valley from up on high. Nice skyline!
 
Endless Caverns

Besides Luray Caverns, there is also Endless Caverns in New Market, Virginia which also home to a battlefield where the valiant VMI cadets of the Confederacy fought Union General Sickles, a socialist immigrant that indoctrinated his troops in socialism while hating the south.

The 3,000 acre Philpott Lake-- which is accessible via Fairystone Park in Franklin County, Virginia is right next door to me from Danville. Far from natural since it was after all a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hydroelectric project, but the Blue Ridge vistas and the mountains are all natural. I went up there to recapture the scenery this past month and walk around.

I just visited Endless Caverns (again) recently. New Market is one of my favorite places in all of the Commonwealth. Most streets are named for confederates. We used to visit the battle reenactment every year. Hoory for the VMI cadets! Paper Treasures is a fine antiquarian bookstore too (at one time the largest in Virginia). Southern Kitchen is good old homestyle cuisine. Great place! :detective:

Every family needs to go up and down the valley -- and bounce between the I-81 corridor and the Blue Ridge Parkway -- on at least a one-week vacation sometime in their lifetime. For Virginians to never make such an excursion is nothing short of a travesty. There is an abundance of sights to see from natural wonders to historical scenes that will definitely leave lingering memories for years to come... Two weeks is necessary to take them in all in. Natural Bridge, Endless Caverns, Luray Caverns, Jefferson's Poplar Forest, Mabry Mill and the Peaks of Otter. There is Lexington, VA, New Market, VA., and the scenic vistas from Skyline Drive that sit you atop of the world. On a clear day, you might be able to see the Washington Monument from the vista views off of Skyline Drive-- though that doesn't happen quite like it used too. Charlottesville is host to the Monticello which is Jefferson's magnificent residence.

Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel

Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, our man-made wonder that connects Virginia Beach to the Delmarva Peninsula or Virginia's Eastern Shore via U.S. Highway 13... Now, new and expanded, with four lanes on the bridge. Still as expensive as ever.
