What a difference a day makes

Well, here's the proof that we were, indeed, in close proximity to the Endless Caverns entrance, although I was a bit surprised to see this view from the bedroom window among awaking.  The photo doesn't do justice to the words featured on the hillside.  Marty and I certainly got quite a chuckle out of this view.

Snow never appeared in New Market,  and the day was absolutely fabulous for walking the Civil War Museum New Market Battlefield grounds.  The museum there is well presented, and Marty and I enjoyed walking through the building and reading the history from a southern perspective.

The battle took place on the homestead of the Bushong family, and the house and building structures are preserved in their original site.  We spent several hours walking the fields and exploring the grounds.  

Here Marty stands on the porch of one of the houses on the Bushong homestead.  

Just over the hill, down a very steep cliff, flows the Shenandoah River.

As you can see, we were quite fortunate to have such lovely weather to enjoy the spectacular views of this area.  What a difference a day can make!
