Judging by March’s heavy increase in traffic colume, the Chinese Lung AIDs panic is well & truly over. Shame: I was rather enjoying zipping along […]

Halfway up Sunset Vista Trail, it is joined by the even more ridiculously steep Hunter Trail, before proceeding together to the summit of Picacho Peak.

  • The Great Stalacpipe Organ, listed by Guinness as the world's largest musical instrument, occupies 3½ of Luray Cavern's 64 acres. The organ was created by Leland Sprinkle, who spent three years selecting and tuning the stalactites which serve as its "pipes". My video's (below) music was played on the organ by Monte Maxwell.
