I know one young man making this trip. This event gets a little larger each year. Not tractor related but was based on farming long before tractors existed. Thought some of you may like the read about this. The crop that started America(tobacco) as it was the main money crop that started trade from America down in Jamestown Va. and worked it's way inland to what is know as the tobacco belt. Down town Lynchburg back then consisted of many tobacco warehouses along the James river. During the war between the states those warehouses were used as hospitals for north and south. Little farming was done in that period as most had joined the southern army.
Anyway it's a pretty cool event for us. I admire these folks roughing it down the river making their way to Richmond.
