Winter at John's Kitchen - FEEL FREE TO SHARE
John's Kitchen is an intriguing cave found along the Olson Trail on Shortoff Mountain, overlooking the south end of the Linville Gorge and Pinnacle Mountain across the way. The cave provides protection from the howling winds familiar to hikers up on the mountain and offers a large, but rocky area for campsites and fires. The striations in the rock formations are mesmerizing and beautiful. The way to the cave is not the easiest to find, as it is part of the "unofficial" Olson Trail, which branches off from the main Shortoff Mountain trail beginning at Wolfpit Road. Easily missed, it is a trail that is not for the faint of heart. Often times, the trail is merely inches wide and forces hikers to hug the side of a rock face. For the brave hikers who make the trek, a respite in the cave is a welcome sight.

"The mythologies we ascribe to, whether consciously or unconsciously, determine how we measure, reflect on, and make sense of our experiences
We must take responsibility for deriving meaning from our life experiences, our relationships, and our place in the cosmos as a whole — and it's up to us, each, as individuals, to create for ourselves our own personal code, to become our own heroes, and embark again on a fresh exploration"
Fall Diary. Day 21: Fishing For Solitude.

On long road trips I like to take photos from the car window. This was taken while driving around Pemberton somewhere.

Bodie Island Lighthouse is the second accessible lighthouse on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. OBX, as the barrier islands are affectionally called, are also know as the Graveyard of the Atlantic because of the many shipwrecks that have occurred throughout the years. The installation of lighthouses along the barrier islands was crucial for navigation throughout the shallow seas. The lighthouse was built in 1872 and is 156 ft tall, watching over Roanoake Sound and the northern part of the Cape Hatteras National Seashore. It is easily accessible from NC Highway 12, the road that spans the length of the Outer Banks from Corolla down to the Crystal Coast (Cape Lookout). The public can climb to the top of the lighthouse, making it a popular destination for families and tourists. The name of the lighthouse is actually pronounced like the word "body," not BOW-DEE. The lighthouse's light began as a first order Fresnel lens, but is now an electric lamp beacon that lights up intermittently (not constantly rotating like it's famous sibling Cape Hatteras Lighthouse).
From Nags Head, NC, head south on NC Highway 12 for 4-5 miles and turn right onto Bodie Island Lighthouse Rd. You will see two old buildings at the entrance of the road.
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
― Marcel Proust
“Nietzsche also proposed a second kind of tourism, whereby we may learn how our societies and identities have been formed by the past and so acquire a sense of continuity and belonging.
The person practising this kind of tourism ‘looks beyond his own individual transitory existence and feels himself to be the spirit of his house, his race, his city’.
He can gaze at old buildings and feel ‘the happiness of knowing that he is not wholly accidental and arbitrary but grown out of a past as its heir, flower, and fruit, and that his existence is thus excused and indeed justified'.”
—The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton

“With ambition and lofty goals future terrors of the deep learn to swim in circles and perfect their nibbling technique.”
