A Road to Beer and Wine Heaven

http://nelson151.com/

Just to think that several years ago Route 151 that runs through Nelson County, Virginia used to be just a fairly quiet rural county road.

Wow, have things changed in just a few years. If you are a beer or wine lover (Virginia is for Lovers) then check this website out for all the details on several craft beer breweries that are up and running strong. Also there our several wineries within the county and soon to come a hard cider place.

What more could any thirsty traveler want. Come visit soo!

Eisenhower Tunnel, Colorado

I was just watching the Weather Channel and they were showing a clip from outside the Eisenhower Tunnel. Curiosity set in so I Google it and found out all about this high elevation tunnel on I-70 in Colorado. Click on the link to read all about it.

snow, ice, rain - iWitness Weather Photos and Video Video

My little weather video made it on TV on The Weather Channel. My husband and I were talking and he said, "Hey, that is our yard!!" I looked up and sure enough it was my little video I shot in our driveway yesterday and panning our front yard.

Blackfriars Bridge in 1896

Not exactly a lonely road but a fascinating video from very long ago. Notice one vehicle that is piled so high it tilts one way. Also not the typical women's fashion of a woman walking across this bridge.

Priceless video.

Mmmmmm sounds interesting and yummy. I could think of no worse sacrifice for Lent.

Blue Mountain microbrewery expansion

This brewery is only a couple of years old but as you see it is doing such a great business that it is expanding both outdoor and indoor seating.

Full Nelson is their flagship brew, but changes abound.

Economic partnership

What was once probably a store with the local post office attached is now a Baptist Church. I thought this was an interesting combination. Maybe the mail gets a little heavenly blessing on its way to its destination.
