Travel Date: 7/14
The odometer now reads over 7,000 miles for our trip. Gooood gracious. Fortunately, we are almost there. We’ve had a blast but the copious amounts of driving has a way of making you bit weary. In West Virginia, the terrain of the East truly began to take shape which was a welcoming sight. Admittedly, we were a bit unsure how the landscape of the East Coast would appear by comparison to the spectacular sights further West but home is home after all and we were glad to see it. Driving over the Appalachians were not quite the challenge of the Rockies but again, they brought not only their beauty but their sense of comfort and memories of many a past hiking and camping experience as well. Out of the Appalachians, we reemerged in Virginia and took the convenience of the opportunity to give a quick hello to the campus of JMU. My have they been busy.
Still rolling on the road at the moment but the day shall end with our last overnight of the trip in “The S’field [Springfield, VA] - smack dab in the middle of NOVA.”
A few more entries still lay ahead so stay tuned.
