Good Morning Trinidad. We will be visiting Trinidad for a few days next week and would love to get to know the town. Are there any spots in particular, or restaurants, or any other suggestions locals might have to suggest for someone brand new to the area? Everything I’ve read on this subreddit make it seem like a cool town. Much thanks in advance!

the Appalachian force of nature who proved that individual talent, grit, and voluntary exchange can build empires of joy without asking permission from any central planner. Born into genuine poverty in the Smoky Mountains, Dolly never waited for government programs to lift her up. She wrote her own songs, sang her own way, and turned pure creative freedom into a fortune. Dollywood stands as a monument to private enterprise: jobs created, smiles earned, value exchanged—all through the free choices of customers and workers, not bureaucrats. She kept her private life private, loved whom she loved without demanding the state’s stamp of approval, and gave generously from her own pocket rather than other people’s taxes. In an age of dependency and grievance, Dolly simply worked harder, smiled bigger, and insisted on the right to be her authentic, rhinestone-covered self. May she continue to thrive for many more years—living proof that liberty, hard work, and a big heart still produce the best songs, the best businesses, and the best lives.God bless Dolly Parton

🌕 The Full Moon Hike is the day after the Sturgeon Moon, and a 96% partial lunar eclipse will take place overnight August 27–28, casting a deep crimson shadow across much of the lunar surface. Check it out, as it will be a talking point of the hike.

🏕️ And a Mountain Man will make a special guest appearance, sharing stories and insights into the fur trade of the mid-1800s.

Mark your calendars for these special events. We hope to see you there!
