The 15,000 acres of this national park is truly a forest and it also has 21 miles of bicycle accessible roads. Twelve of them are paved and 9 miles are gravel fire roads. Mountain bikes are needed for the fire roads. 37 miles of hiking trails - a variety of skill levels and lengths are available Additionally, camping is a major park attraction. You can rent a cabin or pitch a tent and ride your bike or hike through the forest for several days. It is an economical way to enjoy several days" in the outside" and not spend a fortune on hotel or travel expense. My wife and I have camped in the "Forest" with Boy Scouts, Rotary Youth Leadership, Presyterian Church Groups and family camping. We are extremely fortunate to have this national park in Prince William County. My Team has 34 years ex...

This past week our son needed to arrange for insurance coverage different than that offered by his present carrier. Also, his present independent agent didn't represent the carrier he needed to use. The new insurance carrier required a Loss Run from his present insurance carrier before they would give him a price quote. Three days passed and his present insurance agent was unsuccessful in obtaining the report - sooooo- he called Customer Service himself at his insurance company. The service rep apologoized saying, "The person in the Commercial Department who takes care of that has been out ill for the past three days." Being a perfect gentleman our son asked "politely" , "What happens to my request if she does't survive?" Needless to say, he had the report faxed to him within 15 minute...

The video below was released for distribution by MRIS, the area Multiple Listing Service. It is clear the price of homes is trending upward even though the number of homes sold is still lagging. Sellers will be the most immediate beneficiary, but interst rates are at record low levels. Buyers would be wise to take adavntage of the lower interest rates before the prices escalate even further and the Tax Credit expires on April 30, 2010.***********************************************My team has 34 years experience in Prince William County”Experience Isn’t Expensive – It’s PRICELESS”NO REGISTRATION NORTHERN VIRGINIA HOME FINDERContact Karen and Art by Email or call us at 703-690-6569.

There are not many things more elegantly inviting and soothing than a gas lit carriage house or post lamp. Nowadays, we primarily use attractive flickering incandescent candles. However, I suspect the people who designed the first lamps would be appalled to see ecofriendly light bulbs installed in this light fixture. It doesn't "work" for me.
