It was a little cool today, so I brought my disintegrating plaid shirt along with me for today's ride out to Milepost 38... and then further out to Hamilton (because I had to pee). The porta-potty there has been upgraded to one with a translucent roof that lets more light in, so you can actually see what you're doing.

Afterward, I pondered where to head off to instead of the usual trip out to Purse Of Evil and back. I decided to check out Hamilton, and rode up the main road into town, such as it is. Saw an old purple and grey Bentley sitting outside an auto body shop. Stopped at a convenience store for snacks.

Heading down the main road through town, I noticed a very purple house on the right side of the road and stopped to chat with the nice woman who was doing gardening there. Continued down the main road, saw a delightful old Victorian house.

Made a right off the main road and headed toward Ivandale, found an old decrepit abandoney house. As I was taking pictures, a pedestrian walking by asked if I'd been inside. He says the rooms are all done in pastels (I saw them through the windows... much like the Davis House). Maybe I'll check out the inside once my camera is recharged and I'm a little better dressed for it.

Headed back to Leesburg. Saw sheep and horses and squirrels.
