Dayton


The road that the B&B is on is not paved or widen...it is as has been for over 150 years. The B&B house was built in 1852. The New Market Gap can be seen in the distance.

We stopped at the Rockingham County Historical Society in Dayton VA. Well worth the stop for travelers.


Through a lot of intervention on both sides, the town was not burned during the Civil War. As a result it has more original buildings.


While the road to the B&B hasn't changed in generations, change has come to the valley. I-81 travels the length of it.



This is the south end of Massanutten Mountain...the north end is at Front Royal.

Stopped at an old Stage Coach Inn that is now a cool antique/stuff shop. Just had some nice scenes...



The shop had these for sale.... I about fell through the floor when I saw the "price"....
I have shelf full of them from my grandmother..... I guess she wasn't superstitious!!! I shall also keep them on the top shelf....
Cooler today....94 degrees....it is a difference. The katydids are quite vocal here... day and night...I love the sound.

Those yellow flowers! I took lots of photos of them at the "General Store" there at Mauzy--but I don't know what they are! Do you know their name? Maybe I could get them to grow in Ohio....

from my searching, my guess it is
" Rudbeckia laciniata ‘Hortensia’ " ...
or the "outhouse plant" and it will grow in Ohio
