October 18, 2010 - Mineral to Ashland, VA (49 miles) and Civil War Battlefields

We started out today by driving to nearby Civil War battlefields.  We first stopped at Spotsylvannia and did a short walking tour.  We then drove to Chancellorsville where we watched a short film and looked at some exhibits.  It was a very "sobering" morning to think of the bloodshed and thousands of young lives lost.

In the afternoon we rode the 49 miles from Mineral to Ashland, VA.  This was a fairly easy ride over rolling countryside.  The weather was perfect and we got into the RV park just in time to go to dinner.  It was nice not to start riding early in the morning as mornings have gotten pretty cold.

  1. Nancy and Fellow Riders What wonderful pics and stories as you wind up your great adventure. How will your ever come back to the other world of auto riding, plane flying and all the other was of transporting oneself?

    Safe travels as you finish this journey.
