Hello from Fort Chiswell, VA.....we arrived here at 3:15 on a pretty, but cool day for traveling. I was thankful I did not have to drive on all the curvy roads. Mark took Highway 33 out of Columbus which proved to be a very good expressway with little traffic. It was when we were in eastern OH, WV and VA that we hit all the winding roads but very pretty countryside with a zillion shades of green in the springtime. We also went thru 2 long tunnels (always think of Princess Diana and the paparazzi chasing her in the tunnel). Our last "experience" was not pleasant - in 2016 when we had a blowout on Daisy as we were driving thru this same tunnel - scary as it sounded like gunshots!
Today was our longest day with 340 miles and glad to take a break in Beckley, WV - walk and Starbucks!
We stayed at Fort Chiswell in 2007 and also nearby in Max Meadows in 2016 and 2018.
Michael reports about the very serious "shortage of gas" disaster in NC. No problem in VA but Big Red uses diesel and at first, that was not affected, but apparently a shortage of that, too. We saw the long lines at the stations on the news and latest report is that 28% of NC stations are dry. Apparently not an issue in Fort Myers.
So proud of Brady who has become quite the very good golfer and only a freshman on his high school team. He was named to the 11-member team ALL-NWFAC squad. He just missed qualifying for regionals.
Lake James - here we come! 154 miles!
