Along the Back Roads on Saturday



After attending an event near Berryville, I drove through the State Arboretum and then came home via Red Gate Road toward Rockland. I've done this before but still I used GPS to help me make the correct turns.

My pictures of the event itself were not very clear because I used a cell phone and the light was dim for the slide presentations. The talks were interesting. One was on dreams of Civil War soldiers, based on their letters. The other was on Sheridan's Valley Campaign of 1864.

  1. What a beuatiful part of the country you live in! We really enjoyed the photos of the barns that you shared. That first one is especially wonderful and evocative. :)

  4. ...the second one is a style that I rarely see in this area. They seem to be popular in PA and southward. Thanks LInda for sharing these splashes of red.
