]]> Another strange bike ride encounter. This time at Cable’s Mill, a old grain mill built around 1747, located in the Ellanor C. Lawrence Park in Fairfax County.

I saw what looked like some naked sunbathers on the patio of the mill.

When I got closer, I realized it was a few medical dummies.Sunbathers 3

The dummies were part of a military training exercise. The soldiers were getting ready to go back for another tour in Iraq.
