This trip is quickly coming to a close. And while it has been so much fun that we really don’t want it to end, we do want to get back home and see our families and friends. We traveled through W. Virginia along Rte 60 and 219. Stunning roads with a lot of history along the way if you are a history buff. The twisties were plentiful, the drop off’s breathtaking, and the roads rated right up there with what we saw out West. I couldn’t believe how fast the tractor trailers drove these roads…many times taking up both lanes to make the corner. I tried to get a shot but wasn’t too successful. I can say this, W.V. knows how to bank their corners to make the roads extra fun.
We rode through the capital of W. V. and I think the capital looks similar to our own, but the dome is prettier (sorry VT but it’s twroo). This whole trip Jerry and I have looked for the best chocolate lava cake in this country. Guess what folks they don’t even know what chocolate lava cake is across most of this grand country. We finally found some here in W.V….and it doesn’t beat the best version we’ve found in Firehouse Restaurant in Barre, VT.
One site that took my breath away this morning was topping a long hill to see the top of a wind-turbine right in front of us. Man are those huge! I pulled off for a photo and our leader Jerry had to turn around, so I got a photo of him just in front of the beast.
We also stopped for our first ice cream cone of the trip. No it wasn’t from Perry’s ice cream, but I haven’t given up finding one through PA, which is the next state to cross.
We ended our day with screams and laughter, at Hershey Park. Jerry, Leroy and I rode the suspended roller coaster, upside-down X4 and a corkscrew or two. I didn’t know that guys could scream as well as us girls do! Leroy and Jerry also hopped on a few other rides. Our pass is good for another day, and we hope to go back in the morning for a couple more rides as we got to the park very late today.
First we have to get Leroy’s bike fixed, the back brakes are having some difficulties with the trailer and we are coming into mountain country. I’m sorry this won’t be posted until later since there is no WIFI here. But there is much more to the story to tell, so stayed tuned. Be home soon.
