Woke up this morning to beautiful sunshine albeit at little cold. It went down to freezing overnight We aren’t eating outside yet so we enjoyed watching the bluebirds and woodpeckers in our campsite while we ate inside. We still have miles to make today and we stayed on Hwy 81 to the Tennessee border afterContinue reading “Day 2: Natural Bridge, VA to Roan Mountain, TN”

Day 1: Home to Natural Bridge, VA
This was a travel day so not a lot to report yet. We had about a 335 mile drive to get us far enough south in Virginia and a campground that was still open at this time of the year. We ended up in the Natural Bridge KOA near Natural Bridge State Park. We haveContinue reading “Day 1: Home to Natural Bridge, VA”
Tennessee, NC, Alabama
Today we are busy getting ready for a new travel adventure. We will be spending the next couple of weeks exploring a state we have not yet visited, Tennessee. We start off with a weekend in and around Ashville, NC and the Great Smoky Mountains and then some relaxing ‘wandering’. So follow along with usContinue reading “Tennessee, NC, Alabama”
Day 14 – Cowan’s Gap to home
There was a brief thunderstorm in the middle of the night but it didn’t start raining heavily until after we left the campgrounds. We should have rain for the next couple of hours of driving. This is the first heavy daytime rain since the Greenbank Observatory. We have been very fortunate with the weather. ThoughtsContinue reading “Day 14 – Cowan’s Gap to home”
Day 13 – Moundsville, WV to Cowans Gap, PA
Today we start the trek home via ‘the stick’, the northern panhandle of West Virginia. We still have one more Fallout 76 location to visit, the Giant Teapot. We decided to take Hwy 7 north through the Upper Ohio Valley along the Ohio River in Ohio thinking it would be more scenic than the WestContinue reading “Day 13 – Moundsville, WV to Cowans Gap, PA”
Day 12 – Moundsville. WV
The campgrounds we were in last night and tonight is indeed brand new and opened in the spring of 2022. It’s a lovely spot with excellent facilities. Today is an interesting day with 2 activities in the area diametrically opposed to each other: a Krishna temple / retreat and the Penitentiary. We have seen almostContinue reading “Day 12 – Moundsville. WV”
Day 12 – Flatwoods/Sutton to Moundsville, WV
It rained overnight but we had everything stowed in the van to keep it dry. Our last couple of sites have had concrete patios so we haven’t needed to put the mat out. Flatwoods Although first incorporated in 1902, maps show the existence of Flatwoods as a town in 1873, and a church was established byContinue reading “Day 12 – Flatwoods/Sutton to Moundsville, WV”
Day 11 – Summersville Lake / Lighthouse to Flatwoods, WV
Today is a very different day for travel, mainly two lane divided rather than the twisty stuff we have been doing. A bit of a break but the hills are still there none the less. New River Gorge Bridge Fallout 76: this bridge is a landmark location. At one point I had a C.A.M.P directlyContinue reading “Day 11 – Summersville Lake / Lighthouse to Flatwoods, WV”
Day 10 – Point Pleasant, WV to Summersville Lake, WV
During a nice walk around the campgrounds last night and along the pond, we discovered that our campground is right next to Fort Randolph. One less place to have to go looking for today.Our campsite is so tiny, we have no place for our own chairs and fold-up tables. We were confined to the vehicleContinue reading “Day 10 – Point Pleasant, WV to Summersville Lake, WV”
Day 9 – Greenbriar State Forest to Point Pleasant
Up and out early again today with lots to see and do. First up is a revisit the The Greenbrier Golf Resort just a few miles from our campground. We had spent 1 night at The Greenbriar about 20 years ago where we purchased our living room coffee table at the Arts Center. The GreenbriarContinue reading “Day 9 – Greenbriar State Forest to Point Pleasant”
