We got a late start which is not unusual. I also was shocked that Kevin decided to ride in the car with Scott instead of riding his bike.
Once we got on the road we had good weather for most of the day. It was hot, but once we got into the mountains it was not bad. We didn't hit rain until late in the day. Our first taste of rain came in almost full sunshine. It was light and actually was rather refreshing. The closer we got to our destination for the day, the more threatening things became. We never got hit hard but we were on the fringe of a couple very nasty storms.
As we entered the city of Parkersburg WV the skies looked like something out of a movie. Had we not been in such a hurry to avoid getting caught in a very mean looking storm I would have snapped a picture or two of the sky.
We were priviledged to stay the night with the people who were my second parents in high school. A huge thank you to Mom and Dad Laird for the great dinner and first class accomodations. Mom even promised bacon and eggs for breakfast.
Tomorrow the forecast is for a chance of rain again with thunderstorms in the afternoon. We will take a look around the old stompin' grounds here before heading south to visit some other old haunts. We will be setting up camp tomorrow in the mountains a stone's throw from the New River Gorge.
