Just got back from a great summer road trip with Malissia & our dog Luna. We drove a big loop from Hoboken through North Carolina, stopping in Chapel Hill, and Waynesville in the Appalachians. On the return leg we went back up through Virginia taking country roads and checking out Charlottesville before wrapping up with a 4th of July cookout at our friends the Thomas' in the DC beltway town Oakton, VA.
I did a lot of shooting in the mountains and at the road stops.

Semi-refreshed, or extremely road-weary I returned home to Hoboken New Jersey appreciating all we have going on here.
