Greetings from Virginia.
On Monday, we had lunch and toured the Bunker at the Greenbrier Hotel in WV. The Bunker, which was built under the Virginia wing of the hotel, served as a secret government facility for over 30 years until it was exposed by a newsreporter in 1993. According to our tour guide, there were 100s of these facilities established by the Eisenhower administration but this particular one was designed to be used as a temporary US Capitol, large enough to hold the entire Congress and support staff. The hotel itself had been used for internment of diplomats and hospital during WWII.
We're currently parked at an army base, Fort A.P. Hill. Nice RV site but pretty far from better restaurants and other conveniences. Hope we can find someplace other than Pizza Hut to have our Thanksgiving dinner. We're going to stay here for several days so that we can hook up with Chuck's good friend, Dan Lang, and his wife Carmen next week.
Will seem kind of lonely without all of you tomorrow. Gobble, gobble.
