Today was a lower mileage day, about 375, and took us from
Indiana, into Ohio and on to West Virginia. We had already planned to stop in
WV for the night so as to avoid an exceptionally long final day, and give us
just a half day to home tomorrow. It was good planning on Rob’s part because
the afternoon got very warm.
We were on the road at 8am and both the skies and roads were
calm. We rode on Highway 33 for most of the way, and interestingly, had to stop
and make several turns to remain on this same highway. Once we rode through a
town it seemed we had to make a dogleg turn to keep going on the same road.
Today was a light photo day compared to all previous days,
but we got a few interesting shots along the way.
Like this sculpture.
And these well-blooming oak leaf hydrangeas.
No real complaints, though, we were off the interstate and
had a quiet morning ride. The Ohio line sign is right in someone’s yard!
Once in Ohio, we rode a bit before stopping for lunch. The
local news said some of the Ohio schools would be starting tomorrow, Tuesday. Much
earlier than NoVa.
Back on the road after lunch we rode through more small
towns. This house was well cared for, excuse the bad framing of this shot. It’s
not easy being a photographer on a moving motorcycle.
We also found this eagle in Ohio.
Around 2pm, we crossed into West Virginia.
There wasn’t a lot happening on the roads and when we came
upon a few police vehicles with blue lights, we were excited that perhaps a hot
pursuit had just ended with the perpetrator apprehended. No such luck, it was
just a truck towing a loader and help was needed.
We got to our hotel around 3:30pm, which is the second only
day we arrived anywhere before 4pm. We joked that we finally got our routine
and timing right on the last day.
To fill the time today, we talked about the 10 memorable
moments from our trip. Tune in to tomorrow’s blog for those!
