Trip Day 1

I type this as I am resting on my comfortable bed at the Hampton Inn just north of Beckley, West Virginia. ~730 miles on the road today and I am kinda beat.

I got on the road at 5 a.m. today and made good time in the morning, making it past Columbia, SC where I stopped for a late breakfast at Waffle House...mmmmm mmmm good!

North Carolina and Virgina passed by rather quickly in the afternoon but just as I entered Virginia I caught my first glimpse of the Appalachians. The ride through the Appalachians has been fun so far, a nice change of pace from the flatness of Florida.

I took Interstate 77 most of the way as I needed to cover miles today but since I was making such good time I peeled off onto state hwy 19 for a while and man that was a BLAST! Curve after curve!

Tomorrow I have about 250 more miles to cover to get to Ohio where I will meet up with my friend Paul and then we will head to Pittsburgh to hook up with my friend Lew.

Here are a few pics from today....
