Day 17: Strasburg pt 2
Welcome
Yesterday we had a rest day in Strasburg, Virginia.
It was a beautiful day in our corner of the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott carpark. Liz organised breakfast for everyone which was Eggplant Parmiagiana subs from Castiglia’s Italian Restaurant.
Tristan and I went for a slightly frustrating run due to the shortage of footpaths and abundance of dead ends in the area. Here are a few of the highlights anyway:
The Fort Bowman Road dead-end.
The Skyline Paintball gate.
The double flag house.
The Island Farm Road dead-end.
We are fast running out of days to post bus content so here is some detailed coverage of the cockpit and the driver controls and instruments. Feel free to ask any questions and I can pass them on to Robert.
