Romney
WV
Got
to sleep in this morning since we only had about 150 miles to go but it was all
on route 50 which is a great road especially on motorcycles all twists and
turns up and down the mountains but you cannot make very good time. I have traveled route 50 and West
Virginia many times and I wanted to stop by Blackwater Falls and show the kids
but somehow we got on the wrong road and never did find it; they must have
moved the falls! I know the windmills
seemed to be on the wrong mountains too and we got on roads we have never been
on before and I thought we had ridden every WV road. Anyway, getting back on 50 we got to Romney
and wanted to find the train station because we planned to ride the Potomac
Eagle Scenic Railroad but not finding the station we went directly to Koolwink
Motel and asked the owner while checking in.
The train only runs on Saturdays.
Our plan is to leave tomorrow morning and head south on 220 to 33 east
and then follow 33 through the valley to Gordonsville Virginia and visit Grandmom Yowell’s grave
and then head home. The kids have never seen where Don’s family came from and
it feels like home to us as well so we want to share it with them. Tonight is our last night in a motel.
