Took a staff field trip this past week to Drewry’s Bluff on the James River to see the site of the US Navy’s attempt to reach Richmond with the ironclads Monitor, Galena, and Naugatuck in 1862. Confederate artillery on the bluff at Fort Darling (earthworks still visible) stopped the Union flotilla.

It's #NationalLighthouseDay and I unlocked an achievement! I've climbed all six lighthouses from the Chesapeake Bay to Ocracoke Inlet. That's (clockwise and in chronological order of my climbs over 16 years) Cape Hatteras, Bodie Island, Ocracoke, Currituck Beach, New Cape Henry, Old Cape Henry.
