BULLRUN 2007 - DAY 3 - ATLANTIC CITY TO STAUNTON VA.
BULLRUN AT THE SITE OF BATTLE OF BULL RUN.
The start out of Atlantic City was brisk as was the morning. This was the day Bullrun would cross the Mason-Dixon line into the 'Ole South. To celebrate this occasion Bullrun made the lunchtime stop in Fairfax County, Virginia which was contained the historic site of the Cival War battle of Bull Run.
Lunch was literally served next to the battleground itself. Besides the obvious name similarities, this stop reminded Bullrunners of the rich history this part of the United States has. All the way down to Savannah, we all felt it.
Local law enforcement were on hand to admire the cars and check out all that was happening.
After a relaxing lunch we were back on the road. Bullrunners who did not turn back towards the Inter-State were treated to among the most spectacular views in the history of Bullrun. The route card said to go to Staunton, VA, but before that, cars were to proceed on Skyline Drive that took cars well above the scenic Shenandoah Valley and Appalachian Trail.
OK, So here goes Bullrun. As discussed in prior years, Bullrun is about opposites coming together in harmony. You may be extremely exhausted, but you're having an amazing time. You may be driving long distances, but for some reason it goes by pretty fast and is absolutely tollerable.
Where am I going with this? Staunton, Virginia - That's where. Besides being a place with tons of history Staunton, VA can now consider itself one of Bullruns most amazing stops of all time. The people were amazing. People in the thousands lined the streets as we came in. Virtually every minute we were there, people were ever present.
The bottomline is, Staunton was absolutely amazing and completely unexpected. What we thought was a night off, was one of the best nights in the history of the rally thus far.
Bullrunners were asked to give autographs, including Peter Kolb and Mike Alsop.
Local news was on hand getting interviews from drivers and onlookers. Andy oblidged to offer some background for them.
I even had a opportunity for an interview. Here is a Bullrun first. It's me interviewing a reporter interviewing me.
Here is a fantastic person who represented the locals of Staunton. Many of them felt the way he did and he expressed his thoughts on the day and what was happening.
