On Tuesday, June 25, I went to visit Pat at the hospital. I returned to the hotel, checked out, and went to the airport to pick up a rental. car. Destination:
Manassas Battlefield National Park. GPS kept routing me on I-66 but that is EZ Pass only and I did not have EZ Pass in the rental car. I know that every interstate highway has a parallel U.S. highway--in this case, US 29. It took a few mis-turns to get there, but I did.
I was in time to see the orientation film and to take a ranger-led walking tour. I didn't take time to visit the site of Second Manassas (1862) which was a mile down the road. [It turned out I had plenty of time, but I didn't know that.]
Two wounded soldiers carved their names into the floor at the Stone House.
General Stonewall Jackson and me.
