With I66 being opened all the way through Front Royal to downtown WDC, 
it was only a matter of time. I remember not so many years ago when you 
never saw a soul in Ft. Valley and Front Royal was a sleepy country 
town. Now Front Royal is rapidly becoming a bedroom community for an 
expanded WDC metro area. 

Oh that hill. The last time I was up there it was to crew for Jerry 
Fruth. The fellow he was riding with made a comment at the check at the 
river that went something like, "whatever SOB routed the trail to put 
that hill at 80 miles should be hung."

As a life time member of the OD I am glad to see it get a new home - a 
home enterly under the control of one property owner.
