| Dear Friend:

Hello from St. Augustine, Florida!
Since our last correspondence, we’ve continued our travels with visits to Indianapolis, North Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania’s Amish Country, Delaware, Maryland, and East Tennessee. We’ve certainly dealt with some more detours along the way, but they’ve led us to some beautiful places and we’ve made some fantastic new friends.
It’s been a tough few months for parts of our country that have experienced wildfires and hurricanes. Watching the news has been devastating, however, as you’ll find out in this issue of the magazine, some of our favorite destinations like Natchitoches, Louisiana, Southern Oregon’s Rogue Valley Wine Country, and California’s Sequoia Country, along with many others, eagerly await your visit. Of course, travel is still different due to the Coronavirus pandemic, and if you can and do get out and about, social distancing and masks remain the new normal.
This year we have traveled numerous states, staying mostly in bed and breakfasts, small hotels and inns, and vacation rentals. Rest assured, just like restaurants, shops, and attractions, these lodging facilities take sanitization seriously and are doing everything they can to keep everyone safe, while still providing an incredible experience. Now more than ever, it’s important to support our small businesses and communities in any way we can, whether it be through purchases, volunteering, a kind word, or some positive sharing on social media.
We hope you enjoy the various travel, food, and wine stories in this issue of Big Blend Radio & TV Magazine, along with musician and author interviews, recipes, and even employment law news pertaining to COVID-19.
Please take care and stay safe. And, hey, Happy National Apple Day!
Nancy J. Reid & Lisa D. Smith Big Blend’s mother-daughter travel, radio, and publishing team.
