Question of the day: Why might there be a preference for red waste bags? Fashion? Caution? They work better?

Thoughts?

Happy 90th to Douthat State Park

In 1933, opportunity and vision converged during a visit with President Franklin D. Roosevelt at Camp Rapidan. Virginia’s conservation leader William E. Carson made a bold suggestion: put the new Civilian Conservation Corps to work building a system of state parks.

Roosevelt agreed but only if Virginia could show the nation what such a system could mean to a state. Less than a year later, the Commonwealth had secured the land for its first six state parks: Douthat State Park, Fairy Stone State Park, Hungry Mother State Park, Seashore State Park (Known today as First Landing State Park), Staunton River State Park and Westmoreland State Park.

On this day, June 13, 1936, Virginia State Parks held an opening ceremony at Hungry Mother State Park. Thousands attended for concerts, a water pageant and more, all in anticipation of the public opening of the state park system planned for two days later.

Another great idea

Rolling down your window while a giraffe strolls up to your car is a very specific kind of Virginia chaos, and I mean that lovingly. This drive-through safari has zebras, elk, and way too many moments where you realize your side mirror is suddenly very interesting to somebody. 🔗👇🏻
