Jenni Pendergrass (jennipendergrass@aol.com or 804-221-3226).  We had so much fun in the spring we’ve decided to do it again. Enjoy a rare opportunity to hike the woodland trails and pathways of historic Bremo Plantation, a 3,500 acre property located along the James River and listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  You can arrive anytime on Saturday after 10:00 a.m. and we plan to begin our guided hike around 1:00 in the afternoon.  We’ll pass by the 3 historic homes, view the river, and hear the history of General John Hartwell Cocke’s development of the plantation and its homes (Upper Bremo, Recess and Lower Bremo).  After the hike it’s time to kick back, have some dinner and enjoy a bonfire to cap off the day. Dinner will be pot-luck this time so please bring a cold or hot dish to share.  You can bring your tent (or inside sleeping space is available) if you’d like to spend the night. For those staying the night we’ll have a big breakfast on Sunday morning before you head back to Richmond. Our host & guide for the weekend is Woody Cumbo, long-time property manager of Lower Bremo, who has graciously offered us the use of his home on the grounds for our overnight stay.  Directions will be provided.
