weather was amazing. low/mid 70s!!! wish everyday could start like this.















Saw this at one of our stops.. and no, it was not a pet store. Seems the only smart one is the one in the back.






these are the roads we seek on these trips. a sign of good times to come.


Was surprisingly good, although I was famished.




back on the road! we covered about 300 miles a day. the skies literally looked like this all day long. temps steadily climbed to about the low 80s by mid/late afternoon. the awesome views, the cool breeze going through my jacket, smooth twisty pavement, and little to no traffic to speak of.. we were a bit worried before the trip about the usual hot steamy weather this time of year. it's hard to believe how lucky we got on the first week of june. i think we hit Virginia tomorrow...


Can't wait for Rt 16 South, just before Hungry Mother State Park in Virginia.


Took a break here to check out this mystery hole.. no cameras inside so no pics. it's worth checking out. i learned there are only 4 kinds of poisonous snakes in the US. we got in with the last tour of the day.


i wonder how long this was here...


back on the road!!




has nice rooms and great views




powdered organic wheat grass. 2x per day. good stuff.




hawk's nest lodge restaurant. it was about average.


like i said, amazing views from our balcony.


End to another great day on the road..
