Heading Home

Breakfast at 7 and on the road by 7:30. Up and over the mountains and down into Maggie Valley for the last time; well the last time for this trip. I’m sure it will not be the last time – I love this area and there are still so many places I’d like to visit here. It’s pretty warm at 7:30 and by 10 it is very warm. We travel 19 and then 40 for more than 150 miles; a few miles on 29 around Danville and then 58 across Virginia. The heat is stifling and by 3:30 we are just hoping to reach our goal for the day and get a room. Three stops for gas and one for lunch, I think we have done very well. Don says I’m going to make all our friends not want to ride with us if I don’t start stopping more often. We have covered 393 miles by the time we stop at the Quality Inn in Emporia Virginia.
