Habitat destruction over the years has negatively impacted populations of the native Tiger muskie in the French Broad River in North Carolina making it difficult for them to reproduce naturally. Two important population and habitat restoration programs are in place to turn this around. I happened to be there the day that more than 500 baby muskies were being carefully distributed into the river and assisted with the process. We released 66 of them into a stretch of the river, 5-to-7 at a time. These little fighters are just as feisty and beautiful at only a few months old as they are when they grow into the apex predators in the river. Fingers crossed that the efforts in place will help them thrive again naturally.

I love the vintage feel of old mills like the operating Clifton Mill in Ohio. It's a perfect stop during a long hike for some raspberry iced tea.

There's something magical and therapeutic about the beach. I think it's a gift of perspective. #orangebeach #alabama

I have to hand it to the Irish – they know how to enliven a room! Happy St. Patrick's Day. Video from a performance I enjoyed in Dublin, Ireland.
