The Road Home

Today's Mileage: 342 Loop Mileage: 9371 Quest Total: 14861 State Total:36 Current Location: Home

I left out of Princeton and headed into Virginia.  Got off the interstate pretty quickly and got onto some back roads.  It was a pleasant ride initially, and great weather.  I was surprised at all the Christmas tree farms that were in the area.  At times it looked like any plot of ground that wasn't covered by rocks, was covered by a tree.  Generally, another pretty area.  When I turned west, I got on a really twisty road that took me over the highest peak in Virginia.  There's never much traffic on these roads,  and I always wonder what the locals do when it snows or freezes.  I know I wouldn't be driving them under adverse conditions.  There must be great bicycle trail riding in the area, because when I was coming back down the other side, I saw a lot of vans trailering bikes, taking people up the mountain.  When I entered the nearest town, there were at least 8  locations for renting bikes and shuttling up the mountain.  Got on the interstate near the state border and headed for home.  I'm obviously not a fan of riding the interstates in general, but I must admit, when you are coming down I-26, there are some  very  pretty views.; Pulled into the garage around 2:30 pm and that was the end of Loop Four.&; That leaves me with the Northeast part of the country in order to finish up.&; The plan right now, is to wait until early September to do that, but as always the plan is subject to change.&; Right now, it feels really good to be home.&; One of the things about writing a blog, is that I really don't know who is reading it.&; I'll send out another notice, when I start up again, and you can either follow along&; or ignore the notice as you please.&; Until then, enjoy your summer.

I still don't know what causes all the miscellaneous items to show up.
