Rappahannock Oyster Co does a great job giving you a taste of the different flavors of oysters the state has to offer. Disclaimer: I used to work there.
The Rappahannock’s are a pretty unique flavor for how sweet and unsalty they are, where as a lot of people really enjoy the olde salts for getting a mouth full of salt water. Rochambeus and Stingrays would be somewhere in the middle.
There are also a bunch of other good farmers that have been mentioned, White Stone Oyster Co, Big Island, Windmill Point. White Stone and Rappahannock will ship directly to your door or may be able to tell you where to pickup in town. Whole Foods and Wegmans usually have a decent selection, think they mostly carry Cherrystone branded oysters from the Eastern Shore when I last looked at their tags. They are one of the largest seafood producers in the country, mostly known for their clams.
If you are out in the northern neck I would recommend checking out Metroid or Byrd Seafood. If you want a really good restaurant not focused as much on oysters go check out Adrift in white stone.

Have not tried this, but Flonase is the gold standard for me. Combine it with a regular antihistamine and you are good to go

What a weird thing to name a fake church. Sort of work in that field and now I’m thinking of acoustic neuromas and mastoidectomiea

Check out redemption bbq. Their brisket isn’t going to match up to ZZQs but their other offerings are very good

Did you have an X-ray or something else done during the visit like anesthesia? A lot of times these will get billed out separately from the hospital or clinic visit or bill from the doctor you saw

Yeah you do, only crappy part but you don’t have to scale the blocked off bridge

People are already climbing over or tearing through the barricade.
That said they could just head over from the pump house lot instead and not deal with the bridge

If you haven’t seen it take a look at They Shall Not Grow Old. Has a similar vibe as it’s WW1, but first hand accounts from a lot of soldiers.

Probably better off just saving your money on the mug club and becoming a regular at one of the breweries.

I don’t know about the REI memebership. You can buy an annual state park pass which covers all state parks or use the individual REI receipt.

Despite being almost the same name and concept they are very different.
Wongs Tacos is much better than Wong Gonzalez.

Reply to comment by princessofbeasts in New Traffic Pattern 95 South/64 East Merge-Exit 78/Boulevard by shorty_tumbleweed
I don’t think there is a yield sign coming off 64 onto 95s in that spot. It just says lane ends and shows a merge sign right before you hop on.
The reason they are bunched up like that is traffic is often backed up near the staples mill exit and traffic typically goes from 15 mph to needing to merge at 55 with no merge lane.
It’s a horribly designed highway. Honestly they either need a flying exit or to close the exit for boulevard there. The amount of cars coming on from 64 is huge.

I wonder how many people in here I know from riding.
Favorite local trail: Honestly the little loop around belle isle is one of my favorites, starting at lost trail and working your way up top then back down. Really love all the trails around JRPS and east end.
Couple Hours: Reddish Knob
As someone else said Pisgah/DuPont is awesome riding and need to get down there if you can.
