Heading Home

Day 8

We rode downtown last night to see the festival and parking was a problem so we didn’t even go this morning.  Up at 7 and began packing the trailer so we could pull out when the fog lifted.  Everyone had picked their riding buddies and we all headed out around 9 even though the fog was still hanging low and it was cold.  I think everyone was taking 39 east and then heading in different directions down the road.  Don and I needed gas so we headed for Sheetz first telling Andy we’d catch-up with them later which we did at the gas station in Marlinton.  We had all stopped for coffee to warm us up after an hour riding.  We continued on 39 and savored the twists and turns for the last time with Andy, Bonnie, Leon and Dale.  We rode through Goshen Pass and it was beautiful, just as I remembered it.  Our next stop was for gas and a short rest in Lexington and then we got on 64 and headed for Orange, arriving at the Dairy Korner Restaurant at 2:30 where we stopped for a late lunch or an early dinner.   Don and I decided to stop in Fredericksburg for the night while Andy, Bonnie, Leon and Dale went on to finish the trip home tonight.  We did a total of 279 miles today and I’m tired.  My babies are well cared for so no need to beat myself up.  We will spending the night at the Super 8 in Fredericksburg, VA
