So the Northeast is digging out from under a major snowfall yet again.

For those of you who haven’t seen white snow for awhile, here’s On-StJohn.com reader Quenton’s backyard video from Freehold, New Jersey.

For those of you who haven’t seen white sand for awhile, here’s some St. John backyard video from us.

Dress up folks. Boat Cam is taking us to Caneel Bay’s Turtle Beach. Top siders, khakis and polo shirts, collars flipped up of course. Let’s go.

This is another Jeep Cam for die-hard fans. From Jolly Dog to Tourist Trap, a real-time 6 minute drive. Watch a couple of those curves. Otherwise enjoy the smooth ride!

Like the Annaberg Plantation, the Annaberg Country School ruins are on the North Shore, and the site is incredibly well preserved.

The school opened in 1856.

It didn’t last long.  According to the St. John Historical Society, the school was closed five years later after the schoolmaster was dismissed on grounds of “gross immorality.” Whoa.

Check out the Annaberg School ruins, below.

Location, privacy and views. Seagrass Cottage has all three.

This two level, four bedroom villa has a perfect layout for groups or families. It’s also got killer, in your face, Great Cruz Bay views from multiple decks and patios, and a good-sized pool to boot. And it’s on Roman Road, a private cul-de-sac just past the Westin.

Take a quick peek at Seagrass Cottage and its views, below!

How do you get people to discover island secrets AND get them to poke their head into stores and restaurants? You create a Treasure Map that incorporates an island scavenger hunt, with some of the clues found at the advertisers.

Meet Jen and Denise, who created Version 1.o of the St. John Treasure Map. Five tours, self-guided or with a driver, that take you around the island to find things you might not otherwise see. It also gets you into advertisers’ businesses, and it may just get you a free trip back to St. John.

But even if none of the above, it costs nothing, and it’s a fun way to spend a day. Or five.

Today we stop by High Tide for Happy Hour and hook up with Rich Schulenberg, a High Tide bartender who is the very definition of “cool guy.”

Rich makes an Ocean Runner for us, a wicked cocktail with a whole lot of booze in it. In fact, High Tide sets a limit on this drink: Two per customer.

Check out Rich, and have an Ocean Runner, below!

Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park made the hike down to Jumbie Beach a lot safer in December, removing the old, steep steps and carving out a new trail.

It is just one of many recommendations from the NPS Safety Committee that are being addressed.

Meet Laurel Brannick of the NPS, learn about the Safety Committee and see the new Jumbie trail, below!

Coral Bay artist Annie Caswell just got a video camera. And she loves animals!

In the first installment of our new feature, Annie’s Animals,  Annie introduces us to Christmas, a baby donkey in Coral Bay (that was actually born closer to Thanksgiving.)

The fuzzy little guy is one of two newborn donkeys that has been hanging out in Coral Bay, and Annie says they’ve been the buzz of town.

“If you’ve never touched a newborn donkey, there is nothing softer,” says Annie. “Christmas hangs out with mom mostly, but you do see dad around town too.”

Meet Christmas, and mom, in the debut of Annie’s Animals…below!

This is for die-hard Jeep Cam fans only. It’s a real-time, six minute ride from the Haulover Overlook to the Coral Bay fire station.

It is also one of our favorite drives. A true roller coaster experience! Buckle up and come along for the ride.

There’s an overlook on the way to the East End. Next time, pull over and stop.

You can see across the Sir Francis Drake Channel to the BVI’s to the north. And you can cross the street and see south over Round Bay to Leduck Island. It’s a nice spot!

Check it out, below!

Today’s Boat Cam does a swing around Honeymoon Beach, reached by water, hike from Cruz Bay or short walk from Caneel Bay.
