While I’ve always appreciated all of the beautiful nature spots in Sussex County, I’m especially grateful for the Rotary Club’s Great Walks & Trails Guide and am going to continue posting about some of the most interesting ways to experience nature down near the beach.
This week I’m spotlighting a very walkabout that’s especially [...]
As Spring heads into summer, the lengthening days promise all kinds of fun in our communities around the beaches. And thanks to the Cape Gazette’s Festivals Guide https://www.capegazette.com/affiliate-post/festival-season-starts-here-cape-gazette%E2%80%99s-spring-summer-festivals/302281, there’s no shortage of options for outdoor activity. Here are some highlights for [...]
I’ve had a great time spotlighting several interesting stories in the Cape Gazette’s Spring Home and Garden Guide over the past few weeks.
