Who knew there would be more than one Scuffletown in Virginia? Apparently there are two, one in Northern Virginia and one in Southern Virginia, and at one time there was another in the Norfolk area. There are a good number of houses in there, but absolutely no services whatsoever, since the Scuffletown grocery store closed a while back. Not much else I can think about to say about Scuffletown.
Aspen is a Map Speck, of a place, not far from Brookneal Virginia, and I would love to live there. From what I could see there were 3 houses in the immediate area and the community center., which I think has had several previous lives. I would guess maybe 10 to 12 people live here from what I could see, and that is being very generous. One of the great things about Aspen is, almost zero cell coverage, which is one of the reasons I would love to live there.
This is my perspective, if you are from or live in or around Aspen, and I got something wrong, please let me know in the comments.

The current bridge is the forth bridge to be built here, with the previous 3 being lost to either fire or flood, and was in continuous use foe 72 years, from 1857 until 1929. The bridge was abandoned in 1929 after the construction of a wider steel bridge about 100 yards north, that bridge has been replaces at least twice that I am aware of

That being said it really took the wind out of my sails on this project for a while, and the fact that I have been insanely busy. well I have a new drone, and a new camera and lenses and I am ready to go…
