October 2 — It took us all last night to unload our horses; we left our guns on the cars, for shipment farther west. This morning we left Ivy Depot and struck out for the Shenandoah Valley; we came by Meechum’s Station and crossed the Blue Ridge at Rockfish Gap. We are camped this evening near Waynesboro and on the east side of South River, one of the tributaries of the beautiful Shenandoah. Waynesboro is a pretty little town situated on the west side of the South River and in a good country of fine, productive land; it is about twelve miles east of Staunton.
