Camping Weekend in Shenandoah
First weekend of November, before all the leaves were gone in the mountains, my friend and I ventured into Shenandoah National Park for a camping trip and a last peak of autumn. And this post would be about all the things that didn’t went wrong that weekend (a lot of them did…).

Astra Lost in Space, a Beautiful Fairytale Far-Fetched from Reality
When I looked at the poster of Astra Lost in Space, I saw a group of younglings among stars and planets. When I watched its first trailer, the scenes were like the 2013 movie Gravity being tamed by cartoon brushstrokes. And its second trailer was like the first part of The Martian (2015), only that the entire team was stuck behind this time. I thought, this must be some exciting tales of a Sci-Fi journey through space, like these movies.
And I was wrong, the first of many curveballs the series threw at me.

Hiking Buzzard Rock of George Washington National Forest
It’s a weekend towards the end of October, when foliage forecast was at its peak for mountains in the mid-atlantic region, something that I wouldn’t attempt to miss. This time, I ventured into Northern George Washington National Forest and hiked Buzzard Rock Trail, in the best of autumn colors.

Hiking in Delaware Water Gap
It’s a beautiful October weekend as I explored Delaware Water Gap, a destination that’s on almost every top-X hiking list of Northeastern US. And it’s the best time of the year when rolling hills put on their most vivid autumn colors, a most spectacular feast before brutal lifeless winter took over.

Day 5 of Carolinas Vacation, Charleston Day 2
Our second and last day of touring the historic city of Charleston South Carolina. We had to reach Columbia South Carolina for our overnight lodge, so today we would be visiting Fort Sumter, the place where Civil War started, and then be on our way to Columbia. So much for the historic buildings in downtown Charleston.
