Westmoreland State Park - Montross, VA

This is a brand new Virginia State Park for us.  It’s about 50 miles from Washington, and in “normal times” has a really nice pool right on the banks of the Potomac.

The park is on the top of Horsehead Cliffs.  We got here fairly early, after driving 30 miles from our last overnight, so we had an opportunity to take the beach trail, down the cliffs to the water.  The last couple of hundred feet was in a single wooden staircase.  One slip and you would tumble to your death.  We decided to take the road back.

Dinner was chili with some cord-on-the-cob that we bought at a local farm stand.  With a short hike this morning, we are off to a new park, Caledon State Park.  There are no camping facilities, so it’s a day trip.
