Not many folks in the motel last night, I am guessing because of the train noise but we both slept great. Our farm growing up had a train track nearby and it actually brought some nice memories back. Plus my hearing is not so great, so all in all a good nights sleep, and the price was right. The continental breakfast was more a territorial breakfast and Dave noticed one of the egg omelet things had a bite out of it, so it was a pretty light breakfast. We decided to cross the river into West Virginia and follow Rt 2 up, but somehow we ended up and hour later in Ohio. So GPS to the rescue and it took us cross-lots across West Virginia. We pretty much followed Rt 33 all the way, which makes it real easy. The roads were in good shape but I bet my tires are triangle shaped tonight from all the turning. You have to be on your toes, or rather brakes, because some of the turns are not labelled and quite honestly, there were so many, you stop looking at the turn signs which tell you the turn is a 25, 35, 45 MPH turn. But beautiful sunny cooler day, perfect for doing this. We had lunch at a real local place and then more twisting and turning all afternoon. We called ahead to Elkin WV for a motel and the first 2 were full. We realized that it is Memorial Day weekend so we tried another that suspiciously had plenty of rooms. It turns out, this place is a pretty nice motel but some shady dealings got into the local papers so they are not too popular. We will report back in the morning (we hope). Pretty tired tonight from turn, turn, turning all day. Good stuff!!
