So the weather cleared up yesterday and I decided to go see some
history out here in VA. I shot NW of VA Beach and headed to
Petersburg, VA about an hour n half away.

Took some thicker roads on the way there. Got to the National
Park and took the tour.

This gun was known as "The Dictator". It shot a 225lb shell over
2 miles towards Petersburg during the 9 month long siege. Crazy
stuff.
So on the way home I decided to splurge. Took backroads non-stop
all the way home. VA is turning out to be not such a bad place
after all. 8)

A nice winter ride! I enjoyed the pics. And no, the picture
game has yet to have anyone participate. It's currently: Any
pic with you jumping the bike. I'm gonna head over to that
board right now and give it a bump. I wanna get that game
moving.
