Shovel bum or history buff, if exploring the past is a big part of travel's allure for you, there's ample grist for your mill, from hamming it up in the stocks at Colonial Williamsburg to exploring ancient temples and cities, to treading (and even digging occasionally up) the stones of archaeological sites.

Good to see your post, Will. Next time I'm in Gettysburg, I'll want to take that ride, too. I've been so damned busy lately that I haven't called Mary. Must correct. Meanwhile, how is she doing?
While in Gettysburg in September I had the opportunity to traverse much of the the battlefield by horseback. Having been to Gettysburg battlefield many times this was a first for me. The feeling of being on horseback and experiencing the imagery of the battle (but not the incredible courage) which Pickett's men did in his famous charge is an unforgetable feeling. It is well worth taking the ride !
