Dinosaur Land, VA


Confraternization, watch out Food Mart!Between the first climb to the Skyline Drive and the intersection with the amazing transcontinental US-50, can be found this pre-historic and engrossing tourist trap, along US-340 near White Post, where I have stopped in wonder over the years.  The extensive knick-knack shop has a good selection of US flags, including colonial ones, whose acquisition I have benefited from greatly.  [see thumbnails for captions]

 


About ben

Ben Batchelder has traveled some of the world's most remote roads. Nothing in his background, from a degree in Visual & Environmental Studies at Harvard to an MBA from Wharton, adequately prepared him for the experiences. Yet he persists, for through such journeys life unfolds. Having published four books that map the inner and exterior geographies of meaningful travel, he is a mountain man in Minas Gerais, Brazil who comes down to the sea at Miami Beach, Florida. His second travel yarn, To Belém & Back, received a starred review from Publishers Weekly. For more, visit www.benbatchelder.com.
