The road to the new year is always paved wits.h good intentions. After this site crashed for almost two weeks in December our intention is to never let that happen again. While we had no control of the hack, we’re even more vigilant of the security of www.bringbinoculars.com.
We’re happy to announce Chesapeake Bay Road Trip, our new travel guide is pubished. We traveled around the Bay in car and RV and created a handy guide to our favorite places. In the book you’ll find 36 destinations on the shores of the Bay including small iconic harbor towns, big cities and historic and natural settings to learn about the culture and significance of the Bay. Here’s more information Chesapeake Bay Road Trip.
