<p>Richard,</p>
<p>I hope you enjoy the area. I've already done a bit of mapping at the Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania battlefields. </p>
<p>Cheers,<br>
Adam</p>

i sent this out earlier today on conventional social networks, but
i know a lot of you probably<br>
don't participate in them...<br>
<br>

related mapping. i'm not sure how much has<br>
really happened (not nearly enough, i think), but i'm here in
Northern VA visiting Chancellorsville and<br>
The Wilderness, and so i give you the First Day at
Chancellorsville Trail:<br>

and as an added bonus, a modern approximation of the route of
Jackson's Flank March on the second day:<br>

<br>
this latter is a signed NPS route, not just something i made up on
my own, and the location of the roads<br>
hasn't shifted much since 1863, so it's pretty close to where
Jackson's troops actually marched that day...<br>
<br>
i spent some time at the Wilderness Battlefield today, so there's
more to come. i may well<br>
spend a day at Spotsylvania before we leave on Sunday. lots to map
here. somebody local<br>
might have a very productive time if they enjoy walking tails.<br>
