83 D (51). July 28, 1884, Monday 2:30 p.m. cloudy. About 2 miles south up the valley from Strasburg, Va. The pike here climbs an embankment and then goes over the bridge and turns a right angle up the valley of Tumbling Run. We turned off to the lower (East) side and eat our dinner under the big trees on the right. A ghost of the carriage can be made out. This view would have made a fine picture if the Neg had not fogged in the development.
