Seeing a Movie Scene - A Hike to Whitaker Point

Image
  What an amazing view, Henry. Remember that one place in Tuck Everlasting?  The one that is so peaceful and pretty? We hiked there this weekend.  It is lovely, all dressed up for fall. Whitaker Point is also a popular hike, so in real life, the crag looks like this. We still had a lot of fun (and company!)   The views are spectacular. xoxo a.d. ****** ********************************* a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to her travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?

An Elephant in the Ozarks

 Elephants in the Ozarks Here is something unexpected Henry -  We were about to drive over Beaver dam when we looked to the right and saw a giant elephant down in the gully. It is probably the last place I would have expected to see an elephant. We found out later that once upon a time there was a "Dinosaur World" there, but it is no longer open. I guess you would call this a Jurassic Park ghost town? xoxo a.d. elliott ****** ********************************* a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to her travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?

Astrological Tacos - Eating at the Aquarius Taqueria

Image
Is it still the Aquarius age? Henry Ever since our first date, when we went to the bar "Age of Aquarius"  (now torn down and transformed into a parking lot) we have had to stop by any establishment with the name Aquarius. The Aquarius we found this time was a taqueria named the Aquarius Taqueria in Eureka Springs Arkansas. I loved the food, the ambiance on the patio (with its own spring) made the visit. I did mention the food right? xoxo a.d. ****** ********************************* a.d. elliott is a wanderer, photographer, and storyteller living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to her travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?
