Sleeping in a bed again!

Short note from Bristow, VA...after three nights camping, under stormy skies and clear ones, I have a bed tonight. I've spent the afternoon and evening with a great warmshowers host here in Bristow. Tomorrow I'm riding to Frederick, MD, and will be on a ferry to cross the Potomac. I'll also ride a bit of the old C&O Coal Towpath tomorrow, so I'm not done with gravel just yet. Just a few sub-60 mile days left before I reach E-town to visit my oldest nephew and husband family. Stage 1 of this tour is winding down. It'll be great to spend some time with family before starting stage 2 to Connecticut.
