The walls I believe came from rocks on the property as there still are large natural rock outcroppings!

Papa’s World – Continued – the GARDENS OF JAMES WOOD – Winchester, Va.
Winchester Va.
Papa’s World – Part one – The gardens of James Wood estate – Winchester, Va.
The mid-1700s found James Wood laying out the boundaries of Winchester, Va.
Sub-divided into lots with streets – and this estate for himself.
Three springs lay on this property and the land had many natural rock formations and loose rocks.
The rocks were used for boundary lines like fences and the others for foundation work.
Note the stone wall behind her – most likely picked up off the ground and used in the construction.
Papa’s World – walking the trails of the Museum of the Shenandoah – Winchester, Va.
This preserve is acres and acres and is by the Shenandoah Museum.
It is full of sculptures and is part of the James Wood homestead.
He was the founder of Winchester in the mid-1700s.

Hiking the trails in Winchester Va.
Sarah still had classes.

Papa’s World – Christmas Holiday – 2021!
Memories of when they were small and today all grown up!
Two are in college – one is the first year of H.S. All we are hoping to have down with us at the beach.
They would come and spend days with us before we moved – now college and H.S.
Those times are memories of the past – today – and in the future – memories of beach days!

Papa’s World – walking a nature trail with Debby in Winchester Va.
This is all part of the Shenandoah Museum complex in Winchester Va. A hiking trail – through the woods.
The pathway is very wide – I would guess eight feet and all made up with crushed limestone! There are benches to sit on the entire walkway – and areas to sit quietly – a really nice walk and easy on the feet!

Papa’s World – hiking the trail with the Myers family – grand daughters!
I love this picture – I told Sherry we need to get it blown up and framed!
And – it all happened in a space of two or thee minutes!
Maddy took her phone – while we all just sort of found a place –
put it up and braced it on a tree limb –
set the timer for 6 seconds and “BOOM”
there it was!
We went back to the new trail – but this time – the whole family went!
This family hikes all the time – that is their form of family time together!
Mike will take the older two – Maddy and Ella – overnight hiking!
He would take Sarah – but she is into more like N.Y.City hiking!
She is the one I think really likes it but has aspirations of one day dancing – acting – fashion –
But once you do get her out there – no boundry is off limits – being the free spirit she is!
We made it a family day hiking – where Debby – Sherry and I had gone the day before!
A new trail within the city limits of Winchester Va.
When it is completed – with all the side trails and loops
you pretty much can get a easy five miles in!
This day was somewhat cool but warm in the Sun!
And we made a day of it as long as we could.
Many volunteers keep this project going
helping to clear out brush
and maintaining the cut area’s!

Papa’s World – Cross Junction Lake Holiday – Va.
There is a place in the quiet countryside of Va.
A place on route 522 –
South of Berkley Springs –
North of Winchester Va.
Lake Holiday –
Our daughter and family have called this home for thirteen years !
We actually had a house built there
but sold it –
as it would of been too far to drive !
The lake itself is not huge – around 227 acres –
But it does have three beaches –
with WHITE SAND !
Most boats you see are Pontoon boats –
But power boats are also there.
There is a very large clubhouse and also a Marina –
Where there is a waiting list for slips.
There are several sand volleyball courts on the two main beaches –
The third beach is somewhat secluded
and used mostly to set off fireworks – fishing –
or a destination spot for boats to anchor and swimming.
Beach one is the main expanse of beach –
All events are held there and at the clubhouse-
which has a huge outside deck wrapping around it.
It covers underneath it for events in case of rain
and the boat marina is right there also.
There are hundreds of houses situated all around the lake
And at one time had a 18 hole golf course
where a host of homes still exist on the open fairways.
Almost all the streets are named in connection with the course.
Beach Two contains camp grounds – play ground – volleyball court.
And is much more quiet and a place to dock up to three boats
On a floating dock system.
beach two
A no wake zone for all the beaches and coves exists
And the entire lake is protected by a security force.
There is a guard shack with gate lifts that you must stop and be checked out
You have to provide ID and must be called in by a owner
in order to be admitted
The entire area is monitored 24 / 7 365 days a year.
All in all – it is a very nice quiet community –
when lakefront homes do come up for sale
They generally go very fast.
There still are homes being built although most are off the lake.
Beach three side is mostly undeveloped –
Mainly because no infrastructure exits on that side of the lake.
Although you can purchase lots –
people then build decks – docks and use it to dock their boats.
This is a four season area in the Shenandoah Mountains
Although most Winters it does not freeze entirely.
This is a little bit about a quiet place
A place we have been visiting for thirteen years
Where our three oldest grand daughters live
