Mosby Confederacy

There was a sign on the trail that the trail ran along the boundary of the Moseby Confederacy between Manassas Gap and Snickers Gap. Does anyone know what the Moseby Confederacy was?

John Singleton Mosby (December 6, 1833 – May 30, 1916) also
known as the "Gray Ghost," was a Confederate partisan Ranger (a
partisan is similar to a guerrilla fighter) in the American
Civil War. He was noted for his lightning quick raids and his
ability to successfully elude his Union Army pursuers and
disappear (like a ghost) with his men, blending in with local
farmers and townspeople.

I spent all last night getting caught up on the blog. I read it from the start to current. Fascinating journey. Thanks for sharing with us!

I found a site that has a file of the complete AT centerline and all of the shelters for display on Google Earth or your GPS. Visit http://guymott.com
I thought I would share that, if all of you don't have it already.

I feel inspired by your journey. Maybe I'll get off my fat butt and actually hike somewhere now!
