Found this little gem on a recent maintenance ride in Nelson County. It sits right off of Wilson Rd (VA 653), but I couldn't find any information on it online.

Anyone know what this church is/was and when it was last receiving parishioners?

Went a different direction from my normal maintenance ride routs - stumbled on some more old ghosts. This house just gave off a creepy vibe from the moment I laid eyes on it. When I rolled up in front of it, I got an overwhelming feeling to not come any closer.... so I didn't.

It was above freezing for the first time in days yesterday. It was cold, but worth it. The Tye has broken through the ice in places, but others it remains iced over.

What's the coldest weather you've ridden in? I think 27 is about my coldest, but I didn't love it.

This old barn always grabs my attention. It's just so perfectly weathered. I'd love to see some of your photos of places/things that always grab your attention on a ride.

Dead ends led us to the ghost barns of Amherst’s Sweet Briar plantation—rotting remnants of an 8,000‑acre empire built by enslaved families. It’s a ride through deep scars: from tobacco kingdom to segregated college to civil rights battleground.
