Good and Bad
There are two sides to doing all this traipsing about by myself. For example, today at Manassas National Military Park, I could embark upon the 5-mile trail to see the historical markers without anyone whining that they didn't want to walk so much. However, I was bored walking by myself, and when it came to going through the woods where the trail was overgrown and poorly marked, I chickened out and ended up doing the driving tour instead. Oh well.
