Taking Out The Trash: Hunt Club Cleans & Adopts Ed Jones Rd.
The back roads of Central Virginia are arguably some of the most beautiful in the state. From the scenic mountain views to the peaceful babbling brooks, one can easily escape the congestion of city life simply by turning down a gravel road.
When these quiet country lanes become littered and misused, it’s not only detrimental to the environment, but also to the people who enjoy sightseeing along these roads. One back road in Albemarle County had turned into a dumping ground for empty beer cans, broken furniture, used diapers, and evidence of lewd activities, but thanks to a local hunt club the area has been restored to its former glory.

Summer Just Ain’t What It Used To Be
With gleeful cheers and whistles and arms waving in the air and notebooks flying, children leave the horrid conditions and frightening personalities of school behind to enter into the joyous three-month period known as summer break. For weeks they have been planning and scheming and dreaming of sleepovers and swimming and exploring the four corners of the globe. Great plans have been devised to make this the best summer of their lives. So on the last day, they all get off the school bus, go into the house, throw their book bags in the closet, kick of their shoes, pull on their shorts and officially begin the carefree, free-spirited, and the ultimate adventure they will recall during a mid-life crisis’ as The Greatest Summer of My Life. There are no time restrictions, no bills to pay, no deadlines to meet, no dress codes, no water cooler gossip, no meetings, and no groceries to buy. Heaven on earth
