Day 1 of WWR trip, three states

As typical of most of my adventures, getting started was a true challenge. Got the dogs to the vets, but the little one was petrified. So scared that he actually threw up! Then I got back home and thunderstorms and lightening crashed in about the area. I thought I would have to cancel and start a day late.

But all turned good and I finally got on the road. Kermit (my motorcycle) handled great, and I had no rain. Put on just a little over 200 miles which will be my intended average. Not a lot of miles, but with high temps (in the 80's) and high humidity, it will beat ya down!

This picture came as I crossed the Ohio River, going from Ohio into West Virginia. I missed the welcome to WV sign, but thought it was a good idea to focus on my riding instead! ;-)


Here is a pic as I entered into PA from WV. This one, I pulled off the road to get a decent picture - so don't yell at me on this one! OK, so I did have to step into the road, but I looked first!

The bike is in a covered area at the Red Roof Inn (there was room at the inn, of course it is not Christmas yet). The rain just started coming down, and a bunch of construction workers who were planning on a cookout have scrambled into their rooms. Tomorrow, if the weather holds, it is back into WV to stay in Charleston - another 200 mile day. Hopefully it will be a little cooler, but just as dry.
