Under a gorgeous sky,
the first 1½ hours of today’s drive south from Somerset, PA took us through some of the most beautiful farm country we’ve ever seen …
albeit, some sections of the road were narrow and had more curves than Jennifer Lopez.
On several occasions, our cross-country adventure required detours to avoid what our GPS indicated were bridges with a capacity several thousand pounds less than the weight of our motor home!
Off the “back” roads, as we approached Morgantown, signs alerted us to the road ahead …
followed by a sign which always makes Debbie just a bit uneasy.
Cresting the height-of-land, the road simply dropped off
descending more than 1,000’ in less than three miles!
Some of the other sights along the way included …
A military jet in Milton, WV
One of several towns seemingly named after some obscure person … this one ¼ sq. miles in size and with a population of 409
A converted and camouflaged truck
The All Nations Revival Center
Farmers working their fields … even on a Sunday afternoon
Small, isolated buildings in the middle of fields
Several barns sporting old “Mail Pouch Tobacco” slogans
A goat along for the ride
Then … along much of the West Virginia section of our drive … trees, trees,
More trees
Our change in plans will allow us to visit with one of my cousins in Nicholsville KY who has been fighting a courageous battle against cancer, before heading for Glacier National Park and a reunion with many of our Alaska caravan friends.
