Living here in the outer suburbs of Washington, D.C., we are close to famous places – Shenandoah National Park, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park, Gettysburg National Military Park, Catoctin Mountain Park, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park.

While I have been an author for 48 years, I didn’t commence my life’s work until 1997. At that point, my wife and I began using our leave time to explore unforgettable natural places. Those visits became that lifetime work – the High Ground Books.
