However, it was a very remarkable day with a visit though short to three fine places: Jamestown, Yorktown, and Colonial Williamsburg. I will certainly be returning to that area and ranging beyond, in addition to more exploring in the Richmond area. This region certainly has a great deal to offer!

Jamestown, and Back to Richmond
However, it was a very remarkable day with a visit though short to three fine places: Jamestown, Yorktown, and Colonial Williamsburg. I will certainly be returning to that area and ranging beyond, in addition to more exploring in the Richmond area. This region certainly has a great deal to offer!
Yorktown!
I could have spent many more hours in Yorktown, but this was a quick exploration of the area and what it had to offer...plus I had a ticket that would get me into Jamestown. So though it was getting late in the day, I got back on the remarkable Colonial Parkway, and headed toward Jamestown...the site of the first English colony in North America.
Colonial Williamsburg
While it was a great visit to this area, the day was not over yet...I had more to see!

"Gypsy" Race Shop Tour (April 5, 2010)
The last photo is the race shop where the cars are built at Earnhardt-Ganassi Racing. It is a big area and many of the teams cars are assembled here. As you will note, they build a number of cars to meet different needs, replace crashed cars, and for other uses for each driver. I have put a number of photos on my Flickr page from today's ride, and I hope you enjoy those. If you want to see these shops in Concord, all can be found within a mile or so of each other at the Concord Regional Airport in Concord, NC. All are also very close to Charlotte Motor Speedway (formerly Lowe's) which is actually located in Concord, NC as well.

Revisiting Old Petersburg, VA
The second photo is the (what I believe was) the newer train depot, and the white building used to be the Visitor Center. Now the Visitor Center is just up the street in an old bank building. That is worth a tour for sure, and I took one (but not any photos...not allowed). Like the old cobblestone streets too down there.
