Fall 2018, Day 42 - From West Virginia To HOME!

Friday, Oct. 5, 2018 - From West Virginia To HOME = 835 miles driving:

in 15 hours 15 minutes.

There was no breakfast, so I left at 6:30 and ate misc. in the car. Driving through West Virginia in the dark can be a little hairy, but when the sun rose, the misty clouds/fog swirls among the mountains was pretty cool. Crossed into Maryland 4 hours later:


Fun seeing my namesake road:

right before entering Pennsylvania at 12:23

Sometime you just encounter stop-and-go traffic out in the middle of nowhere:

That happened a half-dozen times on my trip today.

Got "Welcomed to New York" at 4:16

And from there it was just getting gas and food, and heading HOME.

It was cool in Manchester:

and this screen means that My Trip (trip B) went 10000 miles plus 2422.5:

12,423 miles in 42 days (6 weeks) - pretty great Adventure!

Thank you God for Art, and Nature, and for these Wonderful Adventures!

For those of you who enjoy climbing/hiking/mountains, my other blog

deals with The New England 4000 footers, the New England 100 Highest, etc etc.
Less roads, more mountains.

Driving Music:

WOW - that was, like, 12 hours of audiobook!

James Taylor - Never Die Young, 1988


And I cannot think of a better way to end this trip than:
