Summer 2011
After the MSTA National Rally, called STAR2011, ended in Johnson City, Tennessee on June 30th, I made my way to northeastern Virginia to visit my step-brother Morrie and his wife Holly in their summer home on the Potomac River near Montross. I visited them over the July 4th weekend and left on Tuesday, July 5th to continue my journey westward through West Virginia and Ohio.
Unfortunately I didn’t take many pictures during my travel through Virginia.
Here are maps of my routes around Virginia along with a few photos:
