Up early (for us) and decamped by
9am. Last thing to do before we take off is to rescue the fat little furry caterpillars which have taken a liking to our tyres, cute ‘lil
critters, but it’s hard to tell which is the front and which is the back!

| Don't want to squish any of these furry critters! |
Today’s travels will take us 180
miles north, with an estimated drive time of about four hours. We will cross from Virginia into West
Virginia briefly, Maryland also briefly and then to Pennsylvania – WOW four
states in one day! Even get to drive on Route 66 for a ways.

| Definitely want to avoid this spaghetti |

| Welcome to West Virginia |

We stop for diesel
before we leave VA, while it’s still cheap and get it at a good price, $2.209/gallon,
then we stop at Walmart, Martinsburg in Maryland for supplies. Our Allstays app said that this Walmart had
McD!! Disappointing for Kim - that was
an out and out lie!! So he sustained himself with the Walmart chicken tenders
for lunch instead (which he realty likes anyway) – but he was seriously going
to break his McD fast!!

We wound our way up steep
inclines, climbing up to 2,123 ft, until we arrived at the 1,085 acre Cowans
Gap State Park, a narrow highland valley on Cowans Gap Lake which lies between the
Cove and Tuscarora Mts.
It was after 4pm by the time we
got set up so decided to leave our exploration until tomorrow, also it is hot,
30C and not cooling down much although there is a breeze up here.
