Bai Tu Long Bay is an alternative to Halong Bay. It's less busy and just as beautiful. It was overcast for almost the whole two day tour.

Easy, 1.5 mi out and back 387 ft elevation gain Hiked 10/13/25

This easy hike takes you to a rock outcrop that has expansive views of the Grayson Highlands area. Minor scrambling to get to the furthest (and best) viewpoint along Listening Rock. This area closes at dusk, which is unfortunate as the sky finally popped as I walked back along the wooded trail.

The main viewpoint on Listening rock, with views of Grayson Highlands and the Mt Rogers Wilderness spreading out below.

Looking out into the rolling mountains near sunset. A Christmas tree farm may be seen with a crop already cut to the right of center.

While hiking the Molly's Knob trail in Hungry Mother State Park, I came across a group of 7-10 mallards swimming in the water. One male kept dunking on the other trying to show off to the mostly females nearby.

A Mallard Duck flexing its wings near another male while the female pretends not to notice.

Located in SW Virginia, this fun loop takes you to a great viewpoint overlooking Hungry Mother SP before heading back down to a stroll along the lake. As you route down various ebbs of the hillside it always keeps a new view in perspective. Fall colors were a treat, just a little before peak there.

The view out from Molly's Knob, I'm not sure what that ridge line is, possibly Clyburn ridge.

The trail snakes through the fall colors as the hillsides ebb and flow.

The image is a still from a video taken by Hunter Demster who was told he would have to move 25 feet away or face misdemeanor charges due to a TN law that went into effect in July.

The Tennessee law is similar to those passed in Indiana and Louisiana, which two federal courts have ruled unconstitutional due to the laws’ vague nature in allowing police broad discretion to create buffer zones.

National Guard members were seen patrolling a popular commercial area after arriving in Memphis on Friday and there have been reports of an increase in immigration raids and stop-and-frisk policing.

On Monday October 13, 2025, the DOJ released the following numbers and reasons for arrests of over 800 individuals (including 17 juveniles) in Memphis:

• Warrant pickups - 297

• Administrative (Immigration) - 161

•Firearms Arrests - 94

•Narcotics - 79

•Homicide - 6

•Probation/Parole - 2

•Sex Offenses - 34

130 unexplained "other" charges

62 "known gang members" were also reportedly identified in the operation.

The Memphis task force is composed of state, federal, and local agencies. The majority of arrests have occured following traffic stops of Memphis residents.

Located in Bland, VA, this section of the Appalachian Trail is well, kinda bland. Traveling just below the ridgeline for the majority of the hike, there are few viewpoints to be had. Good trail conditions and an even slope make it a good one for exercise, but for views I would look elsewhere.

Looking out towards a farm from this early (and best) viewpoint along the trail. Also had a leveled spot for camping here.

The trail runs alongside the ridge throughout, never really cresting it. Sloped hillsides are the main view along the trail.

A mix of fall colors seen along the trail.

Maybe some kind of corn snake? He's in southern California, and the bike path was along the San Diego river.

We spent a lot of time riding bikes along these lovely road/paths that run through the rice area.

This trail meanders its way up to the viewpoint at High Rocks, with its elevation spread throughout so that it maintains a leisurely pace. Mostly tucked into the trees, its only real views come at the top. Great for if you'd like to just put some miles under the feet. Overcast for majority of hike.

A couple types of mushroom seen sharing the base of this tree.

The view from High Rocks towards what I believe is the town of Stone Mill, VA.

What I believe to be Stuart Mountain, as seen from High Rocks viewpoint. Fall colors were muted by the gray sky.
