My Northern Neck

Take a little trip around our part of the Northern Neck in pictures.

A large number of people that we have talked with to over the years have commented on the name of our address. The general comment is... "sound like a beautiful place" and we allow that we think so. We thought that it would be a good idea to show our friends and customers some pictures of our area.

We move here from the Washington, DC metro area some years ago to take advantage of the wonders of the Northern Neck of Virginia.

To put the Northern Neck (NN) into some national perspective the map shown here gives an idea where it is with respect to Washington, DC and Richmond, VA. The Big Black letters "HAGUE" (HAY - GA) is about in the middle of the NN. The NN is between the Potomac River on the north and Rappahannock River on the south. The area has a great many smaller rivers and bays throughout its length and hosts one of America's prime wild life areas. The Potomac River is typically several miles across the length of the NN. Near Hague ships were built and launched throughout the 1700s. George Washington and Robert E. Lee were born in the NN. The NN has a relatively small population. Many small farmers are spread thought the peninsula. Watermen fish for the the Chesapeake Bay Blue Crab and native oysters. The rivers are mostly tidal along the NN and many different type of salt wat4er fish inhabit the local waters.

If you are up the creek around here, this is what it might look like.

The sky is also awesome in the NN too. Sunrise, sunset, day and night the sky can be fascinating. The night sky is clear and the milky way is bright and there are many areas where you can be surrounded by the stars. The clouds and storms bring character to the day skyies too. Here are some sky shots.
