Stopped by to see our friend Walter Calahan at McDaniel College where he teaches photography. Tonight we're camped in snowy Uniontown, Pennsylvania. On to Pittsburgh tomorrow.
Picking up odd jobs along the way to keep Rudy in diesel.

Antietam National Battlefield
Near Sharpsburg, Maryland
It's nearly impossible to fathom the carnage that took place on these beautiful rolling fields. We both got choked up as we wandered through the site of the bloodiest single-day battle, not just in the Civil War but in American history--23,000 dead, wounded and missing.

roared in...raw and blustery! Before we headed out for our next
adventure, we needed to refill our fresh water (85 gallons will last us
about 10 days.) It's not always easy to find a water fill station in the
winter. The park staff at Lake Fairfax Park has taken a shine to Rudy
so they sent us to the maintenance shed for a fill-up.
Steve enjoyed hanging out with Ferlin and the boys...I think he could get a job!

Winching 101
Today was our first lesson in recovery. We decided that it would be wise to be prepared for anything when we go off-road. Recovery expert Justin Green, who works for BCDS (Back Country Driving School), spent a couple of hours with us going over all the basics--winch extension cables, snatch blocks, tree savers, kinetic ropes, shackles, recovery straps, etc. You don't mess around with 18,000 pounds!!!

Soft rain in the woods on a winter's day reawakens Mother Nature's wondrous palette.

70 degrees and raining in Virginia... in January! A good day to plug in and get some things done before we head out again for new adventures.
