Trip Notes


Recon mission since we have never been to West Virginia before. 

Very long drive, especially when you are avoiding toll roads.

During the drive down, we bounced back and forth over the Ohio river.

I am assuming the app was re-routing us due to construction. 

Some of the highlights :

Also, I severely dislike driving through Ohio.
