Had an apartment in Woodbridge. The area around Quantico sure is a lot different when I was there. Really built up. I will never forget a night class we were crossing Beaver Dam Run, and a beaver stuck his head up from the wood and but my boot! Not a nice feeling. Ah, the good old days.
I was back there for a Reunion and we did the Museum. It is one terrific place to visit. |
The beaver was just defending his territory, lol.
Northern Virginia has grown considerably. When I lived in McLean near the CIA, it was a small, woodsy crossroads. Now the track from DC to Fredericksburg to Richmond is almost fully developed.
Virginia is definitely a state to keep history lovers busy.
