Battlefields and Mansions

A lot of historical battlefields and homesteads as i travelled into western Virginia. Seems like something happened every few miles. But it was interesting. A lot about George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, where Washington crossed the potomac and all about the french and american armies defeating the british. A lot of white picket fences and still plenty harvesting of fresh crispy apples, and corn along the route. As nice as the apples are, they don't do much to sustain a hundred miles a day on the bike.
