What You Can Expect
Make your own way to Connolly station in Dublin to meet your host and board your train to Belfast. Sit back and enjoy the scenic ride along the eastern coast of Ireland. As you travel, listen to your host share fascinating details about the areas you pass by.
On arrival in Belfast, receive a ticket to the Titanic Belfast visitor center and a hop-on hop-off bus pass. With the rest of the day free to spend at your leisure, the hop-on hop-off bus allows you to travel easily between Belfast's top sights. Board your bus from any of the stops and listen to the live or recorded commentary as you travel through the city, hopping on and off at your leisure. See the Itinerary for a list of stops.
Perhaps hop off in the Titanic Quarter to redeem your Titanic Belfast ticket. See the dock where the doomed liner was built and wander around a reconstruction of some of the Titanic's rooms. Other sights include Crumlin Road Gaol and Peace Wall where you can leave your thoughts alongside the likes of the Dalai Lama and Bill Clinton.
After exploring the city, check in to your 4-star hotel in the city center.
Overnight: 4-star Europa Hotel or Fitzwilliam Hotel in Belfast
Day 2: Belfast – Game of Thrones filming locations – Giant's Causeway (B)
Enjoy breakfast in your hotel, then travel by coach along the Causeway Coastal Route to begin your tour of sites from the TV show, Game of Thrones. As you travel, listen to your guide talk about the series that was adapted from George Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire novels.
Stop in the town of Cushendun to visit the caves where Melisandre of Asshai gave birth to her 'shadow baby.' Hear tales of the power struggles and trysts between the noble families of Westeros, and learn about the exploits of King Joffrey Baratheon.
Then, continue to Ballycastle to see where Varys was born as a slave in the Free Cities, and travel to the Dark Hedges road. With its archway of intertwined trees, the road is one of Northern Ireland's most photographed locations and the place where Arya Stark dressed as a boy to escape from King's Landing.
Head to the cosy Fullerton Arms in Ballintoy for a pub for lunch (own expense), before traveling to Larrybane where several major scenes were filmed.
Your final stop is the UNESCO-listed Giant's Causeway. While it hasn't been used in Game of Thrones, it is one of the Causeway Coast's must-see sights. The captivating natural wonder consists of hexagonal rock columns that mysteriously fit together. Hop across the stones and hear myths surrounding them from a National Trust guide.
After exploring Giant's Causeway, board your coach and travel back to Belfast to catch your return train to Dublin.

Customer Reviews
November 2015
The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The night in Belfast was at an amazing hotel. I really enjoyed the diversity this tour allowed for.
September 2015
The day in Belfast was full and I definitely recommend the Titanic Museum for both kids and adults what with its interactive displays and organization. The Hotel Europa was lovely for the one night stay. Day2, Derek Derrick our tour guide was absolutely funny. The sites around Northern Ireland were breath taking and the added fun was the GoT aspect. Thank you!
August 2015
Wonderful guided tour. Driver Derrick was very skilled and knowledgeable about throne locations. He was quite entertaining and kept the day moving nicely. On several occasions Derrick added great value to the tour with insightful comments. A few passengers were talking loudly and disrupting the trip for others. Derrick very politely asked them to keep it down to limit the distraction. Derrick is a brilliant driver.
August 2015
yeah, it is all that my children expected. The guide was absolutely fantastic, very funny and knowledgeable. Great history of Ireland and the Troubles. Northern Ireland and Belfast: what change! Really nice. We were struck by how nice everyone is on this island. The hotel was great. The Titanic tour was great. It definitely is worth doing this tour. In general, all the tours were highly professional and every one outdid themselves to help us and make sure we were comfortable. Very nice. We will be back.
July 2015
Had such a great time on this tour! Sean from rail tours was so kind, and helped us in our way to Belfast. Day two started the GoT tour which was incredible! Derrick from McCombs tour company(I believe it was?) was hilarious and really knew his stuff! I'd recommend this to anyone, fan or not.
July 2015
Tour was outstanding. Derek our tour guide was so entertaining and knowledgeable. He actually showed us clips from the show taken in the locations we were brought to.
June 2015
Awesome tour!!! Guide was wonderful and the Game of Thrones film locations were outstanding. Come dressed adequately though, as it is extremely windy and rainy up in Northern Ireland!!

Overall, I'm thrilled to have taken this tour. It was easy to find the tour escort at Connolly station, and during the train ride, he provided us with some information about the local areas. In Belfast, he handed us off to the local tour operator, who took us directly to our hotel (Europa) for luggage drop-off. The hotel was wonderful! The first day involved exploring Belfast independently, mainly through the hop-on/off bus. The bus route and commentary are very good, but in winter months, be aware that the bus will stop running very early (by 4 p.m.) and only comes every half hour, which can be a problem in bad/cold weather, as some of the stops (e.g. Peace Wall) have no readily available shelter. Also note that the bus ride out to Stormont involves a somewhat lengthy highway journey, so if you are on the top level of the bus, hold on to your hats and ensure you are dressed to stay warm! The Titanic museum is outstanding and not to be missed - but leave plenty of time, because there are 7 floors to explore! The GoT day tour was really great. Our tour guide, Philip, has a magical, engaging way of weaving his stories and relating his vast knowledge of local history and legend back to GoT. Some of the stops were more interesting than others, but on the whole, the countryside is gorgeous, and the tour was very well done. Be prepared for a long stop at the Giant's Causeway (possibly including lunch). Depending on the size of your group, you may be in a mini-bus - this was the only real downside, as tall individuals will find the seating somewhat cramped. This tour is not too physically intense, but the tour guide tended to walk quickly, and there were some hills getting into and out of the locations. (At the Giant's Causeway, there is a 15 minute walk downhill and 20 minutes back up, but there is also a cheap bus that you can take.) All in all, this tour is highly recommended and was very much enjoyed!
October 2015
My wife and I really enjoyed this trip. It was an excellent opportunity to see a lot of Northern Ireland without having to rent a car, figure out hotel reservations, best places to stops etc. We thought the price was reasonable considering the services offered. The enjoyment was well worth the cost. The only reason it's a 4 start instead of a 5 is the we did feel little rushed during certain stops.
October 2015
it was just okay

13 thousand data sets, 100 million time series, 600 million facts
Just over 2 years and countless cups of coffee after we started coding, DataMarket.com launches with international data. You can now find, visualize and download data from many of the world's most important data providers on our site.
Admittedly we launched last May with Icelandic data. We've gotten a lot of good feedback, been able to hunt out the nastier bugs and quirks, and most importantly built a substantial revenue stream from the local market. However, we consider today's upgrade to be the milestone where we step into the real world.
We've integrated with Open Data collections from data providers such as the UN, World Bank, Eurostat, Gapminder and more than 30 others.
To our knowledge this data has never before met in a single place. Here's a video that gives an insight into what kind of possibilities this opens up:
Here are links to the time series mentioned in the video, as they appear on DataMarket:
- Unemployment in Ireland
- Historical temperature in Paris
- Yields of oranges in Cyprus
- Birth rates in Spain
- US conumption of geothermal energy
- Proportion of Europeans that use the internet
This is obviously just the beginning. In the next few months we'll integrate to dozens of other private and public sector data providers. Nevertheless, the scope of the current data collection is rather impressive. Here are some statistics on the amount of data available at the time of launch:
|Number of data sets (e.g. Historical inflation in all countries)
|Number of time series (e.g. Historical inflation in Poland)
|Number of facts (e.g. The inflation in Poland in 1978)
(In case you were wondering, the inflation in Poland that year was 8.1%)
If you want to check out any of the other 575,307,401 facts (and counting), go ahead and give DataMarket a spin.
We'd love your feedback, either in comments below, on our help forums or just directly in email.

Congratulations – this is also great news for statisticians in this country (Iceland) who have had a hard time to access and maintain valuable datasets. Hopefully DataMarket will take up constructive co-operation with the Universities – so that our students can learn more efficiently to harness data – analyse it in order to make good decisions later in life.

Why? Because you can! And pickle, and jam, or otherwise celebrate the resurgence of the domestic arts our forebears held so dear. Put on your best apron and step into our kitchen, won't you?
Some thoughts on how to use red currants in baking and preserving plus a basic recipe for red currant jelly, a delightful, old-fashioned preserve.
Unlike jam, fruit butter is a puree of cooked fruit that is reduced to a silky, creamy texture. I kept with my stone fruit kick and made a batch of cherry peach butter.
Getting a good set for strawberry jam can be hard without extra pectin, lots of sugar, or a long cooking time. Enter the cranberry. Lots of natural pectin, beautiful ruby red color, and a little tartness make this the perfect strawberry jam.
Spied gooseberries at your local farmers market? Here are some ideas for how to use them, including a recipe for a straightforward gooseberry jam.
Unlike the store-bought version, I whipped up homemade magic shell with only bittersweet chocolate and coconut oil. I used it to top a bowl of vanilla bean and finished it with a sprinkling of Maldon sea salt for a little extra crunch.
Make a bright pink rhubarb refrigerator jam and then spread it over a shortbread crust and top it with a gingery streusel for an early summer dessert that will impress. Recipe makes enough for a tray of bars and one jar of jam to save for later.
A verdant pesto made with green garlic bulbs and stalks to highlight the sweet, nutty flavor of this early spring farmers market and CSA favorite.
On a bright but cool day, I made spring pea pesto using frozen peas. When the fresh ones appear at the market, I will whip up another batch, but for now frozen are the perfect way to navigate the awkward seasonal transition.
I made a more sophisticated version of homemade butter by adding crème fraiche to heavy cream and letting it sit at room temperature overnight to allow the live cultures to develop.
Perfect for your St. Patrick's Day soda bread, slathered thickly on any baked good, or melted over vegetables or fresh pasta, cultured butter is a richly flavored treat. This recipe is a 2-for-1 since you get fresh buttermilk too!

@pat20cool: Sure! 13 it is. Now, absol is not a pokemon you can just find wandering around. It's supposed to be rare. That being said, it would be better if you simply found one as an egg.
@zexionlovelessillusions: Overall your SU is rather short. ^^; I can't really approve this, as it needs quite a bit more details in the personality and history department. However, if you put some more work into it I can review it again.

BRISTOL — Volunteers packed more than a quarter-million meals last weekend in Bristol and Essex at the culmination of a drive to send aid to starving children. With Love From Vermont, a Christian charity that operates in Chittenden, Addison and Rutland counties, had been raising money for food packets specifically designed for the bodies of malnourished children.
The charity buys the supplies, organizes volunteers to put them into individual serving packets, and WLFV's partner, the international Christian charity Feed My Starving Children, distributes them.

NEW HAVEN — Town officials have cancelled events that were to be held at the New Haven Town Hall because of an air quality problem caused by mold.
The Harvest Fest and Craft Sale, which had been scheduled for Oct. 19, and the Halloween Party, which had been scheduled for Oct. 26, have both been canceled.
Town Clerk Pam Kingman said the events were cancelled because of a lingering mold problem in the building. Mold first appeared this summer after heavy rains.
RIPTON — Two hundred thirty-five runners and walkers experienced gorgeous weather at the 2013 Ripton Ridge Run, Sunday, Oct. 13. The record numbers showing up at this 26th annual event enjoyed sunny skies and warm temperatures, a wonderful race, an excellent lunch and a festive atmosphere. Fifty-five people participated in the 10K run, 140 in the 5K run and 40 in the 5K fun walk. They ranged in age from 3-year-old Kaiya Maclay to 82-year-old Don Lacharite.
BRISTOL — The Bristol Fire Department has been reimbursed through a federal program for expenses incurred while conducting rescues within the Green Mountain National Forest.
The department was awarded $3,363 for providing services March 5-6, 2012, during the rescue of a mother and son that were stranded on the Bristol Cliffs within the Green Mountain National Forest. A second request of $3,118, for the search and recovery of a Bristol man who drowned in the New Haven River this past July 4 is pending.
BRISTOL — Tuesday's step one for the top-seeded Mount Abraham Union High School boys' soccer team in the Division II playoffs was not a challenge.
Even though Coach Mike Corey went to his bench early and often and played his top players out of position for most of the game, the 14-1 Eagles coasted to a 9-0 victory over No. 16 Bellows Falls (4-8-3).
SWANTON — The Middlebury Union High School boys' cross country team won the Northern Vermont Athletic Conference small school title on Saturday, and senior Max Moulton won the individual small school crown.
Tiger runners David Dregallo (seventh), Sam Ferguson (eighth), Ryan Biette (ninth) and Henry Ganey (10th) joined Moulton in the top 10 as the Tigers scored 35 points to beat out Rice (46) for the title.
In what is clearly an end-around tactic to derail the proposed town office project in Middlebury, a handful of town residents forced a vote on Tuesday that nullified a previous 5-1 decision supporting the measure — an action that may prevent the measure from coming to a public vote, all because of a dubious conflict-of-interest complaint.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College Museum of Art last week inaugurated its newest addition to the campus's distinguished collection of public art — a reinstallation of Vito Acconci's provocative and seminal sculpture Way Station I (Study Chamber). The sculpture is located adjacent to the pond at the Mahaney Center for the Arts on Porter Field Road.
In conjunction with the exhibition, Acconci will give an illustrated talk, free and open to the public, in Dana Auditorium on Thursday, Nov. 7, at 7 p.m.

I recently went to dealer to pick up a door lock actuator for the passenger side front door. It had only two electrical connections on it instead of three that is on my vehicle. The third electrical connector is for a plunger is what I was told and that he wasn't sure if it was needed. Does anyone actually know if it is needed or can I use the actuator with 2 electrical connections? Also what is the purpose of the plunger?

After all these years of planning, I finally went to Bora Bora for scuba diving!
The diving was great, much better than I expected. I saw turtles, rays, lots of colorful fish, corals, swam with sharks and Napoleon fish.

Bora Bora is such a wonderfull place !
very beautiful photos. The season is really changing in Europe (to Fall and winter) and your paradise pictures look warmer than ever!
Great page, M! I'm early but send my best birthday wishes to you. I think it would take a lot of Guiness to get me to swim with those sharks! We just got back from England where I had a lot of dark ales & a few Guinesses as well.
Nice tips!
Sutekina shasinga ippai! Arigatou~
Wow, the diving looks so cool. And beautiful.
Looks very nice indeed! :o)
Wow...Bora Bora. Is that a Napolean fish. Fantastic diving pics. I can imagine myself scuba diving there, LOL. Oh how wish I have asked for a postcard from there. Excellent page.

The ACE Military Guide presents ACE recommendations for formal courses and occupations offered by all branches of the military. All recommendations are based on ACE reviews conducted by college and university faculty members who are actively teaching in the areas they review. New courses and occupations are continually being evaluated by ACE, and these entries are added on a daily basis. The Guide includes all evaluated courses and occupations from 1954 to the present.
ACE provides quality assurance and policy guidance for the Joint Services Transcript (JST) used by the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Coast Guard. More than 2,300 colleges and universities recognize these transcripts as official documentation of military training and experiences and applicable ACE credit recommendations.
This guide is designed to help service members and veterans obtain college credit for their military training and experiences.

Interview: Blake Shelton having fun on "The Voice"
A version of this story appears in Tuesday's Life section of The Oklahoman.
'The Voice' was a right choice for Oklahoma country star Blake Shelton
Tishomingo resident says starring on the smash reality TV show has been fun, frightening and gratifying.
Blake Shelton isn't "The Voice." But he's helping to pick it on TV.
And millions are tuning in to watch.
In April, the Oklahoma country music hitmaker joined pop belter Christina Aguilera, hip-hop crooner Cee Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley and rocker Adam Levine of Maroon 5 in a friendly contest to determine which star could field the strongest vocal team from the best singers the reality TV show had to offer.
As with most televised vocal competitions, the goal is to pick one winner as "The Voice." But the show's quirky variations on the reality TV format, solid talent pool and entertaining chemistry among its high-profile panelists have established "The Voice" as a breakout hit for NBC at a time when the network has been desperately seeking a spark.
For Shelton, starring on "The Voice" already has been fun, frightening and gratifying. And the inaugural season is just entering the final phase of determining its victor. At 8 p.m. today, the show begins its live performance rounds.
"I really am having a lot of fun with it. I'm glad I did it. You know, being just a redneck from Oklahoma, I've learned the hard way that it's a different world to step into that Hollywood spotlight and to be on television once a week in front of that many people. I think 'The Voice' has set a couple of records for viewers, and however they spun it, it's a lot of people watching," Shelton said in a recent phone interview from Nashville, Tenn.
Through its first three weeks on the air, "The Voice" averaged 11.8 million viewers. It became the No. 1 new series of the season among the highly desirable adults 18-49 demographic and the No. 3 entertainment series overall behind the two editions of Fox's granddaddy of singing contests, "American Idol."
With "Idol's" 10th winner crowned and many scripted series finishing their seasons, ratings for "The Voice" soared even higher last week, drawing more than 14 million viewers.
NBC has been quick to capitalize, renewing the freshman show for a sophomore season and extending the live shows from one- to two-hour episodes. Last week, the peacock network announced it would bump the number live shows from four to six and give "The Voice" the coveted slot after the Super Bowl in February.
"There is no better showcase on television than to follow the Super Bowl, and we believe 'The Voice' is deserving of such high-profile exposure," said Bob Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, in a statement. "The attention-grabbing blind audition phase of 'The Voice' has mass appeal and will fittingly team up with the biggest sporting event of the year."
Like many of the show's fans, Shelton was first drawn to the series' blind audition concept. In the first phase of the contest, the celebrity coaches listened with their backs turned as the hopefuls performed, picking singers for their teams based solely on the voices they heard.
"I won't lie, I mean, I wanted to be on the show just because it sounded like fun," he said. "But once you turn that chair around and you're looking into someone's eyes … and you realize, man, I was that person, that person up there giving that 200 percent, everything they got, they want this more than they want to live. You know, I remember what that feels like. And instantly it goes for me from a game show or entertainment to something real."
The Tishomingo resident fielded a diverse eight-singer team ranging from a country crooner and a folksy husband-and-wife duo to a road-seasoned rocker and a sultry-voiced 16-year-old.
"I just like what I like, you know, I can't make apologies for liking what I like," he said. "It just is what it is. When I'm hear a sound when I'm flipping through the radio stations and I stop tuning and I listen to it, I don't know why that is. It just is. That's the same reason I hit my button and turn around and pick the people."
For the show's second phase, Shelton and his counterparts each brought in an experienced adviser to help coach their contenders. With fellow Oklahoma native Reba McEntire at his side, Shelton trained his singers for the Battle Rounds, in which he had to pit pairs of his team members in head-to-head vocal duels and then chose a winner to advance to the live round. It was a learning experience for Shelton as well as his students.
"As the show goes on, I'm finding out, man, I do know a lot of things about this industry," he said. "When it comes down to help as far as 'What would you do? Would you do an uptempo or a ballad? Would you do a rock song or a country song? Would you play your guitar or the piano?' Those are the things that I can help 'em with and look back at my experiences from being on television and knowing how important first impressions are and things like that."
He also found picking the victors in the four Battle Rounds agonizing.
"If I look stressed on the show, it's because I really do take it very seriously. And I know that these kids that are singing on this show they do have a lot riding on this and they've got a lot on the line. And it's my job to decide which ones of them that I think I can help the most and that I think have the most potential," he said.
The Ada native said he isn't stressing over the controversy his picks have created, particularly in the first Battle Round. After he selected country heartthrob Patrick Thomas over openly gay soul singer Tyler Robinson, many outraged viewers took to Internet forums to rail against the choice and even condemn Shelton as homophobic.
"I expected it. You know, I got 'em the second time around, too," he said of picking rocker Jared Blake over duo Elenowen in the second Battle Round.
"People are never going to agree across the board on anything that you decide on a show like that. … People will always find a reason and a spin on anything you do to hate you. If they don't like ya, they're never gonna like ya, and they'll find reasons to justify that.
"And for me, if they only knew how little of a s— I gave about it, I mean, it would probably drive 'em even more crazy."
Still, Shelton said he was looking forward to the live rounds when America will get involved in the decision making, even if he was a bit vague on the details of how the show's final stage will work.
"I don't know because I've never done this before. We're all kind of learning as we go here," he said. "The thing that's most important to me is my artists that are on my team. It's not just a television show to me. I really do want to do what's best for them, and I'm in constant contact with them. … I want to see 'em go on and be stars so that I can wave my hands and say 'I knew it. I picked those people.'"
The network hasn't confirmed that Shelton and his cohorts will return for the show's second season, which will air on Mondays. However, Green recently told Billboard that the quartet will return for the follow-up run.
Despite his busy touring and recording schedule, Shelton said he would be glad to do it all again.
"We'll find that out probably at the end of the season what they want to do as far as me coming back. But "I love the show. I'd be happy to come back," he said.

Federal Chief Information Officers:
Responsibilities, Reporting Relationships, Tenure, and Challenges
GAO-04-823: Published: Jul 21, 2004. Publicly Released: Jul 21, 2004.
Additional Materials:

- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Although the federal government has invested substantially in information technology (IT), its success in managing information resources has varied. Agencies have taken steps to implement modern strategies, systems, and management policies and practices, but they still face significant information and technology management challenges. Recognizing the key role of the chief information officer (CIO) in helping an agency to achieve better results through IT, congressional requesters asked GAO to study the current status of CIOs at major departments and agencies. Among the topics this report describes are (1) CIOs' responsibilities and reporting relationships, and (2) current CIOs' professional backgrounds and the tenures of all of the CIOs since enactment of the Clinger-Cohen Act.
GAO administered a questionnaire and interviewed CIOs at 27 major departments and agencies, finding that respondents were responsible for most of the 13 areas we identified as either required by statute or critical to effective information and technology management. All of the CIOs had responsibility for five areas, including enterprise architecture and IT investment management. However, two of these areas--information disclosure and statistics--were outside the purview of more than half of the officers. Although the CIOs generally did not think placing responsibility for some areas in separate units presented a problem, having these responsibilities performed by multiple officials could make the integration of various information and technology management areas, as envisioned by law, more difficult to achieve. Given these results, it may be time to revisit whether the current statutory framework of responsibilities reflects the most effective assignment of information and technology management responsibilities. The law also generally requires that CIOs report directly to their agency heads, and 19 of the 27 said that they did. However, views were mixed among current and former officers on whether such a direct reporting relationship was important. Agency CIOs come from a wide variety of professional and educational backgrounds, but they almost always have IT or IT-related work or educational experience. Since enactment of the Clinger-Cohen Act, the median tenure of a federal CIO has been about 2 years; in contrast, both current CIOs and former agency IT executives most commonly cited 3 to 5 years as the time they needed to become effective. According to some current CIOs, high turnover is a problem because it can limit CIOs' ability to put their agendas in place. Various mechanisms, such as human capital flexibilities, are available for agencies to use to help them try to reduce CIO turnover or mitigate its effect.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: As of September 2008, the Congress has not reexamined through hearings and legislation the statutory requirements related to CIO responsibilities and reporting relationships to the agency heads.
Matter: As it holds hearings on and introduces legislation related to information and technology management, the Congress may wish to consider the results of this review and whether the existing statutory requirements related to CIO responsibilities and reporting to the agency heads reflect the most effective assignment of information and technology management responsibilities and reporting relationships.

I first visited this state park in August, and, thanks to a large family group from "away" who occupied a number of campsites, it proved to be the camping trip from hell. I was not the only one who thought so---at least half the campers there complained about these people who yelled and screamed all day and half the night. The rangers tried to quiet them down, but they just mocked them, calling them "Ranger Rick" and laughing at them. Finally, on the fourth night, someone must have read them the riot act because they quieted down---until the group camping next to me (lucky me) came back to their sight at midnight and proceeded to wash their dirty dishes. I left the next morning (a day earlier than I had planned). However, I really love this area of Maine, which is amazingly beautiful, so I decided to give the park another try two weeks later. I mean, what were the changes of this group being there after Labor Day? Luckily, they weren't, and my second experience was completely different from my first. It was very quiet all week, and all I heard was the call of loons and the wind in the trees. The park itself is very nice. Large, well spaced sites, and the lake is lovely. The bathrooms and showers are clean and well maintained. There is a large block of restrooms that contain toilet, sink, and shower all in one room, which I like. My only complaint, and it is a small one, is that, because there were not too many campers in the park, the staff shut down about half of these restrooms one morning, causing a long wait. When it was brought to their attention, however, they quickly opened up more, so it was dealt with in a satisfactory manner. I am glad I gave Rangeley another chance, and I plan to return again next year. However, if I see a sign in front of a campsite saying a certain family from out of state is there, I will turn around and go home. - nativemainer

Nice state park. Good spacing between sites. Getting in is a problem for big rigs. The entrance to the sites are often quite narrow (branches scraped both sides of my RV getting in). The access road into the park is not kept up for RVs. Several branches rubbing the top of the RV. - JimSC

Good, separated sites. Woodsy. Quiet. A bit too noisy kid and mutt friendly for my taste. Good showers. - FtLcharliep

Australian by birth and now based in Nashville, Tenn., renowned guitarist Tommy Emmanuel regularly puts audiences in awe of his finger-style technique.
Emmanuel began playing music at a young age, touring professionally as part of his family's band at age 6. He was riveted by the playing of Nashville legend Chet Atkins, and dutifully studied his recordings. Atkins would later record with Emmanuel, and bestow upon him his "Certified Guitar Player" tag.
Emmanuel released a live performance DVD last year that doubled as a PBS television special, which aired throughout the country. He has 16 recordings under his name, including an album of guitar duets with Frank Vignola (heard earlier this week playing with Mark O'Connor) called Just Between Frets.
This Mountain Stage performance originally aired April 6, 2010.
