A change in seasons and a reunion

New River Gorge Bridge

We've made it back to Fredericksburg, VA for a couple of weeks before moving on to North Carolina. This is our semiannual visit for doc & dentist appointments. 

The last several times that we've made the trip from Jackson Hole to Virginia via a planned national park (New River Gorge or Shenandoah) visit, our trailer has always had a nervous breakdown of some sort that canceled the visit. This year it tried, but we had the parts and there was a guy nearby that knew how to repair it. We found the damage as we pulled into St Charles, MO (draggin' a broken brake line) where we had planned a day off of traveling, so no delay in travel plans. We made it to New River Gorge for a few nights and got a couple of hikes in.

After a rainy Columbus Day weekend in Natural Bridge, VA, we pulled the trailer on to Fredericksburg, VA. We left the trailer there and traveled by rental car to Nashville for our 50th Vandy NROTC reunion. We had a great time there, really enjoyed seeing everyone, and enjoyed everyone's recollections & stories. Donna and I are back here in Fredericksburg, VA with a full schedule for the next two weeks. 

We'll try to see as many people as we can while we're here. If not, we won't be that far away in North Carolina and can easily make a trip back.

That's it for us. Thanks for dropping by and checking in on us. Until next time, David
