Appomattox Virginia

We pulled out as the sun was slicing through the dawn and leaving part of the night to hang over the fields like a blanket draped over a sleeping child. The air was crisp and we needed jackets for the first couple of hours. Fall is approaching evidenced by the scattered gold and red spots in the trees much like spotty blush or lipstick on a young girl just learning to blend her make-up. We traveled 301 to Fredericksburg and I thought finally we were going to find more motorcycle friendly roads. It is such a shame that we have to travel almost 150 miles south before we get into the foothills of Virginia but at last we began to see the wineries and the horse farms on the rolling hills. By late afternoon the temps had climbed to 90 degrees as we pulled into Appomattox, Virginia. Total miles that first day 280. Bernie and Shirley have gone to church right now while I did some INI work and when they return we will head for the Appomattox Court House NP and then on to Rocky Mount where we will settle into our "home away from home" for the next week. Then I'll be able to find the cord to the camera so I can post a picture or two. You have got to see the trailer and how full it is. Bernie said there is just no hope for us - the more space we have the more we pack.
