…Fones Cliffs sits on the north side of the #Rappahannock River & is geologically unique because of its distinctive white diatomaceous earth—formed from fossilized remains of aquatic organisms from 5 million years ago when a shallow sea covered much of the area, acc/to Julia King, chair of the […]

“#Indian people have long known of the #land & our #history & presence here,” said Anne Richardson, chief of the roughly 300-member #Rappahannock Tribe, which is primarily in King & Queen County. “But so often things aren’t considered ‘real’ until they’re found or ‘discovered.’ This validates […]

The Robert O. Norris bridge is over 2-miles long and connects Virginia's Northern Neck an Middle Peninsula regions. Specifically Lancaster and Middlesex counties. Built in 1957, there was a toll on the bridge for many years. It served to isolate the Northern Neck from newcomers and economic expansion. Many longtime residents will say that "back in the day" they sometimes paid a late night toll with a cold beer to the bridge attendant. The toll is no longer in place. Thus the "Been-Heres" (born and raised in the area) are no longer "protected" from the "Come-Heres" (everyone else). But it's all good. Everyone gets along. It's a beautiful area. A pleasant little paradise. By the way, I'm a "Come-Here" for going on 30 years. The differentiation is more of a joke than a prejudice. Or, at least that's been my experience.

Norris Bridge

Please see the ALT for a little vignette about the bridge.

A photograph of a budding oak tree in spring. From a branch hands a tree swing build for two people to share. In the distance is a shorter tree in full bloom. The sunlight brightly illuminates the right side of the trees and the sloping lawn. The photograph is edited with an overlay that puts crevices and grain into the picture.
