HOME AGAIN, HOME AGAIN, JIGGETY JOG!!

Once that homing beacon starts, it’s a powerful force.  We truly enjoyed our last campsite by the New River.  We are definitely back in the South….we were both bothered by the heat and humidity!  But the river and mountains were beautiful and we enjoyed one last campfire and cookout.  We both remarked how peaceful it was and how we both didn’t want it to end, yet we were definitely ready to get home.

 

 

That beacon really got into our body rhythms and about 5 am I realized we were both awake, so we just went ahead and got up and got ready to head out!  We were on the road by 5:55, a true record!  The ride over the mountain down to Beckley was as curvy as anything we experienced in the Rockies, if not as high and the mist coming off the river was beautiful though a cause for slow driving. 

It’s only 9 am and we are already in Virginia and will be at the NC line soon.  It’s time to call Mollie and get her to move cars so that we can park in our beloved 4^th Ward and unload Bessie, or “the machine” as Dave calls it!
