dismal swamp, virginia

welcome to virginia.   yay!   crossing the border into virginia bumped the number of states i've visited on this trip to 32!   that's two thirds of the 48 contiguous states in 5 months.  it includes every state south of michigan except for ohio.  it's not a Goal per se to get to every state, but if all goes well, it could happen by september...  we'll see.

i had stayed in a walmart parkinglot in north carolina.  north carolina and virginia share a dismal swamp area.  i thought that was a cool name.  after i crossed the border, i pulled off and found a little hiking/biking trail next to a canal at the edge of the great dismal swamp national wildlife refuge.

ok, time to use my bike again.   i went for a little spin.

my ears got a little chilly, but otherwise it felt great to get the exercise.

watch out for bears.

and other animals...  i had to look up nutria to figure out what that was.  i wonder if they healthy for eating.
