Trail of The Lonesome Pine

In the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Susan makes landfall aboard Discovery at Jamestown. We noted the chequered history of the brits, through to seeing the actual documents of the Declaration of Independance and the Constitution (as amended) in DC no less !

Williamsburg is a very cool preservation, startling in scale plus it's bona fide. The Queen stayed at the Williamsburg Inn recently and it was on the telly :-) made for most interesting chat with the excellent barman there, of course :-)

The Blue Ridge Mountains are blue with ridges - this seemed to surprise Doug though :-) We finally got a copy of Spencer's Mountain, the basis of the Walton's tv series, and visited the ancestral home of the Hamners upon which the book was based, sort of a personal pilgrimage for Susan and was good to do. Good night John-boy :-))
