Blue Hole Ocoee page (www.BlueHoleOcoee.com) updated with pics and videos from my final visits for 2020. Due to the pandemic the Ocoee Whitewater Center (near the Blue Hole swimming hole) remained closed all summer, but the day-use parking area opened in May, with access via the lower (western) gate only. Sadly, late-season storms and cool weather nixed any plans to visit late in September, which WAS possible in Fall 2019.
A direct index to all of my photos, videos, annual itineraries and recaps is located here! |
| March 7th, 2020 | Photos from Devin Townsend's March 6th performance posted on Facebook. As usual, you never know what to expect from Devy! This was the last performance I was able to witness before the pandemic shut things down (the tour was cancelled just a few dates later)...but what a great show to end things on! |
| February 23, 2020 | Photos from Blue Oyster Cult Feb. 23 uploaded to Facebook. This was a remarkable performance from B.O.C. since co-headliner UFO had to cancel, and B.O.C. performed two sets with an intermission. My only regret was not getting to chat with my friend Eric B. afterwards, but after THAT performance I could hardly mind too much. (It was nice chatting with Buck Dharma and his wife, though.) |
| February 21, 2020 | Photos from AnachroCon uploaded to Facebook. |
| January 16, 2020 | Facebook galleries added from the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise in early January, 2020: It was pretty awesome...very late announcements and bookings not withstanding. In retrospect we were very lucky indeed to have gone on this sailing, with COVID-19 shutdowns only a short time later! |
| November 14, 2019 | Photos and videos added on Facebook from trip to Atlantis Bahamas, whilst staying at the Comfort Suites hotel next door because it's better and cheaper, and guests there enjoy full access to the Atlantis resort: Photos and video from Atlantis' aquascape. Videos from Predators Lagoon and The Dig (aquarium), including a full walk-through of the latter (a $40 value! :) ). "Outside" photos from Atlantis and the marina Videos from the River Rapids. It is NOT a "lazy" river. POV videos from the water-park's slides. Videos from the snorkeling portion of my excursion with Stuart's Cove. Videos from the snuba portion of my excursion. Note that the colors in the videos are a lot less vibrant than they were in person. Overall it was a pretty awesome visit, but not much has changed at Atlantis in the last six years. I was glad I booked one extra day this year, as the weather on Saturday was rainy and also VERY windy. |
| November 4, 2019 | Photos and videos added from Mass Destruction Metal Fest 2019 in Atlanta, Day 2, featuring Sigh (Japan).
Click here. This was actually Sigh's first performance in the US in 9 years, AND this was a one-off performance. It was even better than I had expected! |
| October 26, 2019 | Photos and videos added from cruise on Carnival Magic: General cruising pics Half Moon Cay and Grand Turk Aruba Curacao It was overall a fun trip, but VERY long. |
| September 17, 2019 | Photos posted from trip to the Netherlands to see Ayreon perform one of my favorite concept albums, Into the Electric Castle, live. What an amazing, transcendent experience! Worth every overpriced-airfare penny! |
