Start planning your next epic winter adventure like whale watching in Virginia Beach, stargazing in one of Virginia’s Dark Sky Parks, wild caving in Virginia’s Karst Region, Ice Climbing in the Blue Ridge, or winter wildlife watching in person or on a wildlife webcam. Also, in Part 2 of this solo episode, I share where you can find me live and in person this month, and how to get my new Listener Resource Guide with the top podcast episodes, a Virginia Outdoor Bucket List, and exclusive outdoor gear discounts for my listeners.

In case you missed Part 1, be sure to tune in to hear a recap of Parks Advocacy Day when I was touched to meet so many of you who came out to support our state parks. I also answered your Fan Mail and shared my recent adventures. Let’s Go!
