Tailgate party?

The picnic benches at Gordonsville were damp from last night's heavy rain, so some of my classmates ate standing up. I was one of the few who found a dry spot on the bench.

They were also saving time, since we spent more time touring the Exchange Hotel Museum than we intended.

Pam, John, Lynn, and Arch

These folks are all veterans of Dr. Poland's field trips. John and Arch have actually been taking the class much longer than I have, and this is my 19th year.
