SANDWICHES ABOUT SKYLAND From 1853 to the early 1900s, copper was mined on the 5,371-acre Stony Man Mountain Tract. During that time, the area that was to become Skyland was extensively timbered to make charcoal to fuel the ore furnaces. The copper was smelted just north of, and below, the plateau at Furnace Spring. Although copper did exist in the area and was mined, it was not commercially successful. By 1889 Pollock and Allen were forced to obtain a $52,000 mortgage to pay their debts. In 1888, 18-year-old George Freeman Pollock, son of one of the property owners, convinced his father to allow him to visit the Stony Man Tract. Pollock arrived that fall George Freeman Pollock and fell in love with the scenic splendor of the area, returning home with the concept of a rustic resort. His father, seeing some potential return for his mining investment, joined with investors to buy out the other stockholders in the mining company. During 1888 and 1889, Pollock guided two groups of more than twenty prospective lot purchasers to Stony Man Mountain and, by the spring of 1889, had collected $3,000 from sales. During this time, he joined with friends to build a saw and planing mill below Furnace Spring to produce materials to erect new buildings at Skyland. Skyland’s guests and landowners understood that all meals were to be taken at the communal dining hall located just south of the central open space. By 1900, Pollock had constructed a recreation building and dance hall, known as “Pastime Hall,” just west of the dining hall and grass tennis courts in the open center field. An infusion of money was provided by the purchase of the copper rights to the lands outside of Skyland proper in 1900, by the sales of additional cabin sites, and by loans of several thousand dollars. Thus, Pollock was able to erect an acetylene gas plant designed to light the dining hall, bathhouses, kitchen and bungalows, as well as to landscape the grounds. The gas plant was used until 1920, when Pollock introduced electricity to the resort. DID YOU KNOW?

It was a decade of relaxed social standards for the fl appers and their beaus, an era that would come to a rapid halt as the stock market crash of October 1929 ushered in the Great Depression.

  • Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 a Publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs
    Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers Revised 2008 A publication of the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs Copyright 2008. All rights reserved. May not be reproduced or copied in any manner whatsoever. 1 Preface This field trips guide book has been written by Dave Carter and Ed Funk of the Northern Virginia Photographic Society, NVPS. Both are experienced and successful field trip organizers. Joseph Miller, NVPS, coordinated the printing and production of this guide book. In our view, field trips can provide an excellent opportunity for camera club members to find new subject matter to photograph, and perhaps even more important, to share with others the love of making pictures. Photography, after all, should be enjoyable. The pleasant experience of an outing together with other photographers in a picturesque setting can be stimulating as well as educational. It is difficullt to consistently arrange successful field trips, particularly if the club's membership is small. We hope this guide book will allow camera club members to become more active and involved in field trip activities. There are four camera clubs that make up the Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs McLean, Manassas-Warrenton, Northern Virginia and Vienna. All of these clubs are located within 45 minutes or less from each other. It is hoped that each club will be receptive to working together to plan and conduct field trip activities. There is an enormous amount of work to properly arrange and organize many field trips, and we encourage the field trips coordinator at each club to maintain close contact with the coordinators at the other clubs in the Alliance and to invite members of other clubs to join in the field trip.

  • Backpacking: Bird Knob
    1 © 1999 Troy R. Hayes. All rights reserved. Preface As a new Scoutmaster, I wanted to take my troop on different kinds of adventure. But each trip took a tremendous amount of preparation to discover what the possibilities were, to investigate them, to pick one, and finally make the detailed arrangements. In some cases I even made a reconnaissance trip in advance in order to make sure the trip worked. The Pathfinder is an attempt to make this process easier. A vigorous outdoor program is a key element in Boy Scouting. The trips described in these pages range from those achievable by eleven year olds to those intended for fourteen and up (high adventure). And remember what the Irish say: The weather determines not whether you go, but what clothing you should wear. My Scouts have camped in ice, snow, rain, and heat. The most memorable trips were the ones with "bad" weather. That's when character building best occurs.

    Virginia Journal of Science Volume 67, Issue 1 & 2 Spring/Summer 2016 doi: 10.25778/QY29-TQ49 A New Long-tailed Weasel County Record in Shenandoah National Park Jason V. Lombardi1, Michael T. Mengak1*, Steven B. Castleberry1, V. K. Terrell1, and Mike Fies2 1Daniel B. Warnell School of Forestry and Natural Resources, University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30602. 2Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, Verona, VA 24482 *Corresponding Author - Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Though abundant throughout much of its range, the ecology and local geographic distribution of Mustela frenata (Long-tailed Weasel) is not well- known, especially in the central Appalachian Mountains. In 2015, we conducted a camera study in rock outcrop habitats within Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Our objective was to determine the presence of mammals considered uncommon in these habitats. After 2,016 trap nights, we report eleven photographic captures of Long-tailed Weasels at eight sites. Two of these sites represent the first record of this species in Rappahannock County, Virginia. These detections represent the first record of Long-tailed Weasels in Shenandoah National Park in 60 years and extend their known range within the Park. Mustela frenata Lichtenstein (Long-tailed Weasel), is abundant throughout most of its geographic range, which extends from southern Canada to northwestern South America (Chapman 2007). Long-tailed Weasels are considered habitat generalists, as they have been found in low-elevation agriculture areas to high-elevation (2,133 m) forests of Colorado (Chapman 2007, Quick 1949). However, their ecology and geographic distribution throughout the eastern United States as compared to other furbearer species is essentially unknown (Richter and Schauber 2006).

The purpose of taking this action is to address the need to protect, restore, and perpetuate rock outcrops and natural resources associated with the outcrops while providing a range of recreational opportunities for visitors to experience. Several feasible alternatives were considered. Alternative B, the NPS preferred alternative, proposed to establish a balance between natural resource protection and visitor use. Actions under this alternative would allow visitor use of selected rock outcrop areas while minimizing impacts to natural resource conditions. Implementing the preferred alternative would have negligible to moderate impacts to geological and soil resources, ecological communities, rare, threatened and endangered plants, rare, threatened or endangered species, wilderness

    Appalachian National Scenic Trail Resource Management Plan – September 2008 – Recommended: Casey Reese, Interdisciplinary Physical Scientist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: Kent Schwarzkopf, Natural Resource Specialist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: Sarah Bransom, Environmental Protection Specialist, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Recommended: David N. Startzell, Executive Director, Appalachian Trail Conference Approved: Pamela Underhill, Park Manager, Appalachian National Scenic Trail Concur: Chris Jarvi, Associate Director, Partnerships, Interpretation and Education, Volunteers, and Outdoor Recreation Foreword: Purpose of the Resource Management Plan The purpose of this plan – the Appalachian Trail Resource Management Plan – is to document the Appalachian National Scenic Trail’s natural and cultural resources and describe and set priorities for management, monitoring, and research programs to ensure that these resources are properly protected and cared for. This plan is intended to provide a medium-range, 10-year strategy to guide resource management activities conducted by the Appalachian Trail Park Office and the Appalachian Trail Conservancy (and other partners who wish to participate) for the next decade. It is further intended to establish priorities for funding projects and programs to manage and protect the Trail’s natural and cultural resources. In some cases, this plan recognizes and identifies the need for preparation of future action plans to deal with specific resource management issues. These future plans will be tiered to this document. Management objectives outlined in the Appalachian Trail Resource Management Plan are consistent with the Appalachian Trail Comprehensive Plan (1981, re-affirmed 1987), the Appalachian Trail Statement of Significance (2000), and the Appalachian Trail Strategic Plan (2001, updated 2005). These objectives also are based on the resource protection mandates stated in the NPS Organic Act of 1916 and the Trail’s enabling legislation, the National Trails System Act.
