By easy rides the boys will go to Natural
| Bridge. Va. where day or two will be

cover distances, but the ride back will be
leisureiy taken down the valley through
stanton to Newmarket. where q stop will
be made of two three days in order to
visit the Luray caverns, which are on the
opposite side of the mountain from
