After a quick breakfast with Cindy and Ted, we take a short ride up to their club house. A very nice facility with meeting and dining areas, pool, exercise room and more. What a nice community!
We leave them about 9:00AM and take Highway 81 south, then 70W and 79 S towards Charleston, West Virginia. The foliage has a little more color as we get farther south. We've heard that West Virginia has been in a bit of a drought lately, so the colors might not be as vibrant as usual.
First stop is Coopers Rock State Park which has a scenic overlook that we've been to a few times. It overlooks the Cheat River Gorge, where we canoed ages ago.
We continue south, with a quick stop in Morgantown where we visit a Kroger, a gas station and an Arby's. Restocking the fridge a bit!
Nice countryside! Lots of rolling mountains.
The fog has rolled in in the "hollers" among the mountains as the sun gets lower. Hello Kentucky.
We've decided to stay at a Walmart tonight in Huntington, which will put us close to tomorrow's destination - Cumberland Falls State Resort Park, just southwest of Corbin, Kentucky. But tonight we are still in....what state?
441 miles today...but its a long way still to Texas.
