Historical Appomattox

Absolutely gorgeous and chockfull of history.
Amazing that it was so well preserved.
Appomattox courthouse and welcome center.


 This guy was a hoot.
Pointing out that you were a stranger in his southern drawl,
asking where your from and then providing
a history if your state happened to be in the war.


 A lone grave in the middle of a field.
It was the son of the proprietor of the mercantile at the 
 Appomattox Courthouse.

 Slaves quarters


I really could've spent way more time there.
If you get that way - stop!

Riding the Blue Ridge Parkway

Always some gorgeous scenes to be had.
No matter what direction you look.







Stayed a night up there boondocking.
Boondocking is camping with no hookups.
Its all good if you self contained.
It was wonderfully cool.
