Some enjoyed a packed picnic lunch and a little Guinnesscamouflaged as very dirty water, while others sought outlunch at the local bistros – DoG Street Café and the Cheese Shop. A little more walking, a little more shopping, and themagic hour of 2pm struck. That was our appointed time tomeet for our departure. As promised, another stop was the reward for everyone’sgood behavior – a visit to Virginia Beer Company on 2nd
Street. VBC, now just a year old, is a rather industrial lookingfacility, but the tables and games out front offered a warm
welcome. There were four year‐round drafts, and four more seasonals to try. Flights, half‐pints, pints andlarger are all available. And almost any time they are open, you will find a food truck parked outside.BYO or grab a bite at VBC. Add to that the live music on weekends, and this is the new off‐campus hot‐spot for Williamsburg. And finally, the day was over. 2nd Street becomes Merrimac Trail, which meets I‐64 near Ft. Eustis. Fromthere, it was a clear run home – no traffic in the construction zone or the tunnel. The end of anothergrand adventure and a proper shake‐down run for Virginia Spring Tour XV. So, who’s ready for the nextFlash Drive? Tad Carter
