Day 3, May 23rd  Fredericksburg to Occoquan (Pohick Regional Park).  An absolutely great day.  We left the Fredericksburg KOA about 7:20 and headed to downtown Fredericksburg for breakfast.  Right out of the gate we had to climb a nasty hill.  After that it was smooth riding into Fredericksburg.  On the home stretch a long freight train (CSX) came rolling into Fredericksburg with a load of containers.  We had a wonderful stretch through the Fredericksburg Battlefield and saw a couple of more trains (AMTRAK and another freight).  Unlike most men we asked a couple of pedestrians in Fredericksburg for some restaurant options.  We ate at the 2400 Diner on Princess Anne Street.  I recommend it highly.  Almost worth the detour if you are headed for D.C. early and want a great breakfast.  After breakfast we changed our route a little and headed up Route 1.  I forgot my Camel Back at the diner and had to backtrack.  A lot of hills.  We got back on the regular route around Quantico Marine Base.  The ride was super.  Some hills but good roads and not a lot of traffic.  We took a flyer and did not go down the hill to Occoquan and searched for a hotel.  Hotels were mostly sold out but we found the Inns of Virginia and found 2 rooms.  Not the Hampton but clean and inexpensive.  We still have not camped this trip.  Dave says we are getting our quota of hotel living early and we will make up camping nights later on.  75.2 miles for the day.  Tomorrow we are only going to Alexandria and we will do some sightseeing in D.C.  Bob and Fred (friends of Sam) are proving to be great guys and we are having fun.
