I wonder how many people in here I know from riding.

Favorite local trail: Honestly the little loop around belle isle is one of my favorites, starting at lost trail and working your way up top then back down. Really love all the trails around JRPS and east end.

Couple Hours: Reddish Knob

As someone else said Pisgah/DuPont is awesome riding and need to get down there if you can.

Rappahannock Oyster Co does a great job giving you a taste of the different flavors of oysters the state has to offer. Disclaimer: I used to work there.

The Rappahannock’s are a pretty unique flavor for how sweet and unsalty they are, where as a lot of people really enjoy the olde salts for getting a mouth full of salt water. Rochambeus and Stingrays would be somewhere in the middle.

There are also a bunch of other good farmers that have been mentioned, White Stone Oyster Co, Big Island, Windmill Point. White Stone and Rappahannock will ship directly to your door or may be able to tell you where to pickup in town. Whole Foods and Wegmans usually have a decent selection, think they mostly carry Cherrystone branded oysters from the Eastern Shore when I last looked at their tags. They are one of the largest seafood producers in the country, mostly known for their clams.

If you are out in the northern neck I would recommend checking out Metroid or Byrd Seafood. If you want a really good restaurant not focused as much on oysters go check out Adrift in white stone.

What a weird thing to name a fake church. Sort of work in that field and now I’m thinking of acoustic neuromas and mastoidectomiea

Did you have an X-ray or something else done during the visit like anesthesia? A lot of times these will get billed out separately from the hospital or clinic visit or bill from the doctor you saw

I don’t think there is a yield sign coming off 64 onto 95s in that spot. It just says lane ends and shows a merge sign right before you hop on.

The reason they are bunched up like that is traffic is often backed up near the staples mill exit and traffic typically goes from 15 mph to needing to merge at 55 with no merge lane.

It’s a horribly designed highway. Honestly they either need a flying exit or to close the exit for boulevard there. The amount of cars coming on from 64 is huge.
