We wake up at 7:00, get up quickly, pack, and get out of the room in no time. There’s not much to keep us here so we hit the road ASAP.
We hit the road by 7:30, and when we do the rain has started coming down hard.
We grab gas and get a breakfast sandwich at the gas station, along with a cup of coffee.
We hit the road and the rain is coming down hard.
Eventually we outrun the rain and it stops. We are both exhausted so we decide to skip the ride today and drive through. After yesterday, I think we are both ready for some rest days.
Out of Kentucky and into West Virginia!
We then hit Charleston, WV and take a break.
We go on a coffee search and after 4 tries we find something that seems to show promise. There’s a shop in this cool little market along the highway.
The coffee is really good, very much a treat. We hit the road and get into Maryland before too long.
Then PA and the tunnels of the Turnpike.
We hop on 81 then 78 and cruise that all the way home into NJ and home.
We drive 2800+ miles in all, hit 10 states, ride something like 9 systems in 4 states, drink 217 cups of coffee, and have 1 incredibly good time. Thanks to my wife Dominique for giving me this trip for my birthday. It’s something I will remember for a long time!
