I like that there are more pictures! What will you do once you’ve finished your final portion of the journey? Start a new adventure to blog about?

@Hoot: The trash was disheartening for us, as well. Overall this SW walk was by far the cleanest in terms of litter on the streets, but the water did not fare as well.

Love that southern stone.

I took a friend to see it and the water may have been out because she was able to get out there without getting wet at all (you just have to walk north along the shore – i.e. toward the person taking the picture)

You new to area, Hoot? Litter is the local flora.

While I enjoyed reading the article, I was shocked and saddened by the top photo, which includes an inordinate amount of garbage floating in the river. From the looks of it, most of those items could have been recycled. PLEASE recycle or your waste will continue to end up polluting our rivers and waterways.

Yeah! Thanks PoP…I have now read all three installments, am looking forward to number 4 and thinking that this might be fun to do as well…

Re bears: there is a fairly healthy black bear population in NoVa in places. I’ve seen several over the years in Shenandoah National Park, for example. Black bears are generally shy and rather small, not the raging grizzlies you might have in mind. Of course, they’ll still hurt you if given reason I am sure, but you usually see them running away.

@Stones. Yikes. It’s not just you. I’m so sorry, I have no idea what happened. It must’ve got lost when I transitioned the site. I’ll try and find the text and repost it!
