About this listen
Cruising and Dining at the Waterfront Restaurants of the Lower Potomac River. This is one of the most unusual dining and boating guides ever before prepared for the lower Potomac region.
The names of the great establishments are real while the prices of a dozen steamed hard crabs are not. Prices will fluctuate with the weather, the time of year, the decisions of crabs on whether or not to mate and the relative sobriety of the watermen who venture out onto the water to empty their crab pots.
In addition, the moon and the tides play a role in the availability of these crustaceans. But even with prices as high as over one hundred and sixty bucks for a dozen at times, there is never a shortage of customers who want to belly up to a table at a local crabhouse.
This article is a short one, and deals only with those fine establishments that one can reach by boat or vehicle and are situated along the Potomac or one of it's tributaries.
Popes Creek and Colonial Beach are not included because they are not in the aforementioned geographic area, but they are known to harbor great quantities of delicious crabs.

The “mountain men” were the hunters and trappers who fiercely strode the Rocky Mountains in the early to mid-1800s. They braved the elements in search of the skins of beavers and other wild animals, to sell or barter for goods. The lifestyle of the mountain men could be harsh, existing as they did among animals, and spending most of their days and nights living and camping out in the great unexplored wilds of the Rockies.

Story
When Edmund Hillary first conquered Mt. Everest, Sherpa Tenzing Norgay was at his side. Indeed, for as long as Westerners have been climbing the Himalaya, Sherpas have been the unsung heroes in the background. In August 2008, when eleven climbers lost their lives on K2, the world’s most dangerous peak, two Sherpas survived. They had emerged from poverty and political turmoil to become two of the most skillful mountaineers on earth. Based on unprecedented access and interviews, Buried in the Sky reveals their astonishing story for the first time.

Story
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.
