There was an aurora in my backyard last night! This is the very first picture I took:
I’m going to spread out my photos so they aren’t all in one clump of a post so stay tuned (it gets better!)
Guys I just saw the northern lights
I didn’t even realize it was happening tonight but I took over 150 pictures so I’ll sort through those tomorrow
I’m just in awe I never thought I’d see something like this happen in my own backyard
my very unprofessional prediction for what will happen in a month:
pennsylvania will finish very slightly red, something like 10-20k votes slightly and that will be the tipping point
opened a savings account (before you get upset it’s wasting the banks money because they’ll have to pay me interest)
I’m going to have a couple nice weeks of driving to work in the morning where the light is perfect and it’s really pretty.
I want to show how the mountains look down the valley just as the sun comes up but it’s hard to get pictures of it as I’m driving and it might not turn out well anyway
461 days later one of the postcards I sent just arrived to my house!
was supposed to visit mt rogers this weekend but grayson highlands state park is closed for obvious reasons
fortunately our hotel allowed us to reschedule so I shall return to southwest virginia once stuff settles down again 
why was I sitting around doing nothing in middle school 10 years ago when I could have been buying a house (prices have gone up literally 100% in the past decade)
Decided to do this again and this is what I got:
I can’t believe I forgot about this awesome guy
I’m bored so I’m going to pick a random date and then post whatever picture is closest to that date on my phone. Result was day 2137/2518 which was November 1st of last year:

This is actually so cool cause when I lived in Fredericksburg for a year my dad used to take me to a part of this sometimes after school. Where we would go there are train tracks that run through it and I used to love watching the trains go by. There’s also this pyramid thing on the other side of the tracks:
This is one of my favorite childhood memories
Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania National Military Park
Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Wilderness, and Spotsylvania, this is America's battleground, where the Civil War roared to its bloody climax. No place more vividly reflects the War's tragic cost in all its forms. A town bombarded and looted. Farms large and small ruined. Refugees by the thousands forced into the countryside. More than 85,000 men wounded; 15,000 killed--most in graves unknown.Photo: "The Bloody Angle in the Spotsylvania Battlefield is a peaceful place today." - NPS Photo
