When hiking in the park, have a way to communicate. Do not rely on your cell phone because there may not be cellular coverage and reception in the park. Consider having a personal locator beacon, should you need to call for help. If you are using your cell phone, keep the battery fully charged. Searching for a cell signal can quickly drain your phone battery, so consider turning off your phone or switching to airplane mode until you need it.

Engagement ring found.

My friends son found a diamond ring in an unusual case floating down the Rappahannock river today. Location is just by where the river crosses rt 1.

If you or you know someone that lost a ring that could be it please have them contact me.

Proof of purchase, a photo or very detailed description is needed. I'm not posting a pic to help a post the scammers.

If you can show proof this is yours it will be returned to you.

Please share this post, and let's help the owner get it back!!!
