For those of you on the Southside and fans of Trader Joe’s the store on Laskin is getting closer to opening. They are now hiring, and the store looks close to complete, rumor has it that they will open sometime in May.
Waller Mill Park is a nice park located in Williamsburg…
The facilities include picnic shelters, fishing pier, as well as boat rentals, hiking trails and a dog park
The park is located here:
I guess the best way to describe the West Neck Creek Natural Area in Virginia Beach, is raw. There is a relatively short paved path, if I had to guess I would say it is somewhere between a quarter and half mile long, terminating at a bridge. There are a couple of more primitive trails that are kind of hard to find and follow, these trails are marked by blue paint on trees along the paved path. The paint markings continue along the trail as well as weed stop cloth, but that was a little hard to follow because of all the leaf litter on the ground. You will have to climb over some downed trees, and such, but nothing that difficult.
To try the trails I would recommend that when you enter the trail from the parking lot, take the first left, keep an eye to the trees on the left, after about 100 yards or less you’ll see 2 trees with 3 blue dots, the is the beginning of one of the trails, the trail will eventually meet back up to the paved trail, near the bridge. Go left on the paved trail, and cross the bridge, I ran in to a bit of mud after a bit, but it looked like you could go further. if you go right from the bridge, you’ll end up at a house (City?), you can then make a right here and up the gravel road and loop back to the parking lot.
This is a nice place to spend an hour or so with the family.
I’ve been doing all I can to keep up here, I have not spent much of my life in Hampton Roads for the last couple months, but there is life at the end of the tunnel….
