Stayed local today. Did a driving tour of Front Royal and visited some local sights. Always so interesting. Stonewall Jackson was very active in this area and Belle Boyd was a famous spy for the confederates. Balthis house is the oldest in town. The family hid a confederate soldier there during the war. Pretty cool! The canon was used by Jackson's troops to communicate. It did not fire just made noise. The single rifle is the first Remington which would shoot 5 bullets before reloading.

Ended the day at the Elks for drinks and dinner. Best People on Earth.
