I could leave here tomorrow and this will already have been an extraordinary experience. I’m not planning on it, mind you. I’ve only been here three weeks and have barely gotten started on the project that is my main reason for being here, and I’m really just getting settled in.
Nonetheless, it’s been an exciting three weeks. I’ve heard some amazing bluegrass music played live, nearly run over a black bear, spent some time riding along one the best bike trails on the East Coast, seen a stunning display of fall foliage, been visited on my front lawn by a family of deer in the wee hours of the morning, learned that Pearl Buck was a much more fascinating person than I ever gave her credit for, met some really interesting people, and hopefully made a friend or two. That’s just some of the highlights of these three weeks.
I’m no stranger to the countryside. Between the Boy Scouts and family trips, we did a lot of camping when I was growing up. Yet I’ve been astonished by the wildlife I’ve seen in just a few weeks, ranging from the wide variety of birds, to small mammals and arachnids.

Of course I’ve been out a lot, and that has afforded the opportunities. I love biking the Greenbrier River Trail, a Rails to Trails converted train line. Though it winds through some rough territory for 77 miles, it a relatively easy ride because it follows the river, with the mountains as scenery. The clip above is just three of those miles that I filmed toward the end of my ride today.
It’s been a busy three weeks in terms of work, too. In the spirit of the life and writing of Pearl S. Buck, I’m working for the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace under the auspices of Americorps to develop educational programs for local schools that enhance intercultural awareness, writing and technology skills through technology-assisted collaboration with schools in China. I’ll not bore you with details of what’s past, because I’ve mostly been getting my bearings, laying groundwork, getting to know the community and taking care of formalities. It starts to get exciting from this point on, so I’ll keep you posted.
My ride this afternoon on the Greenbrier River Trail.
