BEDFORD, Va.:
Thomas Jefferson was convinced that Sharp Top was the tallest mountain in the United States.
The peak, flanked by Flat Top, rises sharply at the edge of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains and stands out above the flat Piedmont.
In fact, Jefferson and two friends in 1815 used chains and trigonometry to estimate the height of the mountain.
But Jefferson was wrong. The imposing conical peak capped with rounded boulders isn’t even the tallest mountain in Virginia. That’s Mount Rogers.
The farm provided nearly everything. The Johnsons only had to purchase coffee, sugar and flour.
John Johnson captured and turned in Confederate deserters during the Civil War.
His son, Jason Lee, purchased the farm in 1884, when his parents built a new home nearby.
Jason Lee, born with a clubfoot, and his wife, Jennie, raised nine children on the farm. He was a farmer, cobbler and carpenter. He added the dining room, kitchen, storage areas and porches to the family house.
Life at Peaks of Otter included church dances, sleigh rides, candy apples and fireworks at Christmas, and climbing the peaks to chase wild goats.
In 1921, Jason sold the farm to Mack Bryant, the husband of daughter Callie. She grew and sold flowers to the nearby tourist hotel. She cooked Sunday dinners for up to 25 people from the church.
Bryant was a veterinarian. The couple’s children guided hotel guests and sang and played music at the hotel.
In the 1930s, about 29 families lived and farmed at Peaks of Otter. A church and school stood near the current lodge.
The Peaks of Otter became a tourist destination in the early 1830s when Polly Wood established an ordinary (lodging for travelers) in the family’s log cabin at the foot of the Peaks of Otter. Her restored log cabin stands on the northeast corner of 24-acre Abbott Lake, not far from the 63-room lodge and restaurant that were built in 1964.
parkway. You climb or descend 1,600 feet. The Fallingwater Cascades is a separate 1.6-mile loop, dropping 260 feet from the parkway (mile marker 83.1) to the waterfalls on Fallingwater Creek.
The falls are a series of steep rocky slides. Getting good views isn’t easy because of the vegetation. The trail includes huge rocky outcroppings and thick rhododendrons and hemlocks.
You can access both trails off the parkway and turn them into separate hikes.
Not far away is Apple Orchard Falls, an 80-foot falls. It is a 1.4-mile hike from the parkway at mile marker 78.4.
Peaks of Otter also provides a 144-unit campground.
Park service information is available at 828-274-4779, You can reach the visitor center at 540-586-4357.
The lodge is managed by Virginia-based Crestline Hotels & Resorts Inc. It is open year-round. Winter access is provided via state Route 43 that is plowed. Contact Peaks of Otter Lodge at 800-542-5927,

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Albert Sidney Johnston (February 2, 1803 – April 6, 1862) served as a general in three different armies: the Texian (i.e. Republic of Texas) Army, the United States Army, and the Confederate States Army. He saw extensive combat during his 34-year military career, fighting actions in the Black Hawk War, Texas War of Independence, the Mexican–American War, the Utah War, and the American Civil War.
Considered by Confederate States President Jefferson Davis to be the finest general officer in the Confederacy before the later emergence of Robert E. Lee, he was killed early in the Civil War at the Battle of Shiloh on April 6, 1862. Johnston was the highest-ranking officer, Union or Confederate, killed during the entire war. Davis believed the loss of General Johnston was the turning point of our fate.
Johnston was unrelated to Confederate general Joseph E. Johnston.
Peaks of Otter: Peaks of Otter Winery
outdoortravelchannel.tv - Peaks of Otter Winery, located about 13km from the Peaks of Otter, near Bedford, Virginia, offers one of the most enjoyable, unpretentious wine tastings we've ever experienced. This family business creates over 25 fruit wines as well as a seriously spicy drop called 'Kiss the Devil'. We think hiking one of the Peaks of Otter -- Sharp Top, Flat Top, or Harkening Hill -- and then stopping by here makes for a perfect Virginia day.

Tallahassee Florida, 3-09-2011.. Around 6:30 on.
What is this noise??? We thought for sure it was a Tornado, But it never changed it's position, and it lasted for well over 20 minutes or so... It was Soooo Loud, and it was shaking the house and the ground.
I called 911, They said they didnt know what it was, But that there were MANY calls coming in about the noise. They said they were sending patrols out to check it out...
There was a Flash of light that came from the same direction of the noise, then the noise just faded away. It was a relief obviously, I still thought it may have been a Tornado, But it also wasn't making any sense to me. We even put the kids in the bathtub and put a mattress over them just in case.
I called the News Station also, They told me it wasn't a Tornado, And that the police had told them to tell people it was an airplane revving it's engine at the airport. I live 4 miles from the airport, And I have lived here for 20 years, I have never heard an An airplane rev its engine at the airport, that was just insanity.
So when the noise was over, we drove down to the airport and stopped at a gas station nearby, They said they didnt hear anything. So it was not coming from that direction!
AND, on the 11 o'clock news that night, the weather man made a comment about all the calls that had come in about the noise, He said, Dont worry, It wasn't a Tornado, and it was confirmed that it WASN'T an Airplane, ALL You were hearing was THUNDER!!!..
If anyone has ever heard Thunder that was anything like that, Please let me know. It is just so Strange to me that the Stories kept changing.. Like we are stupid or something and dont know what Thunder sounds like.
Anyway, I Dont Know What it was.. But if you have any clue at all, Please do tell
Also, Very strange how after the Flash of light there was no thunder, the noise actually stopped.
Oh, and the NASA Space shuttle Discovery had already landed in south Florida about 5 hours earlier that day. It wouldn't have hovered for 20 minutes anyway, But just saying.
I had to load this video in a lesser format so that it would upload... If i can find out how to do a higher quality I will.
