Fourteen Adventurers enjoyed a fine late winter/early spring day along with dozens of others on Bull Run Mountain. Because recent rains had turned valley or streamside trails into muddy quagmires, we stuck to the higher ground as much as possible. Lunch at the outstanding overlook atop the mountain was a bit hurried because this was the only place where the winds were too strong and blustery to be comfortable. Our return leg had several historic sites of unusual interest, including the trench of an old quarry where Rebels and Yanks fired point-blank at each other, the well-kept Chapman family cemetery, the ruins of the old Chapman family estate Meadowlands, and a view looking down on the ruins of Chapman's Mill. Just as we thought we were finished, we discovered we could walk directly to and even into the mill ruins. This was a very impressive sight indeed, complete with comfy benches built and installed by a local bunch of Explorer Scouts.
