The big push continues with another day of cloud watching as some spectacular scenery rolls by. I loved riding up thru WV and MD. Beautiful horse farms, mountains and fall colors kept me from staring too hard at all the dark, ponderous clouds lurking along the hilltops. The temps ranged from 54 to 72 F (briefly). Do not expect to see the 70s again.<br>But at least we are tucked in and no drops have touched the big fella. Just a frost warning for tonight and chilly temps tomorrow.

(Did I mention that we "LOVE" free breakfasts?) As we were packing to leave, two Civil War Re-Enactment Participants came up to look at our 'RIG' &amp; talk a spell ...

... less prosperous, and the driving much more slow going. The road alternately snaked up and down steep slopes or twisted along a stream in a narrow hollow. While there was no sign of abject poverty (at least on what might be considered a main road in these parts), the homes were modest to say the least. And many of the homes, we noticed, sported a five-pointed star affixed to the siding on the front of the house. These stars were ubiquitous and to us a mystery. Was ...

Luckily, negative for the bad bugs, but Chris has got a penicillin prescription just in case.
