Off to a great start - Huntington WV

Day 1 - New Market, VA to Huntington, WV: We left right on time Friday afternoon and headed west on US 33 from Harrisonburg. Right at the WV border the road started climbing and we enjoyed some of the wildest hairpin turns on the east coast. We crossed the Eastern Continental Divide and had dinner at Papa Johns in Elkins (which has BLUE fire apparatus - yuck!). Someone slipped a mushroom onto our meat lover's pizza, so our pledge to be veggie-free all vacation was short-lived. After Elkins, Rt. 33 picked up to 65 MPH, then we got onto I-79 and clipped along at more like 76! We ended up here in Huntington WV, the very western end of I-64 in WV.

Tomorrow we plan to make it the remaining 600 miles to Fort Leonard Wood, and visit with Lisa on Sunday. (see map at left).

Great weather today, and the same is predicted for tomorrow.
