June 8 - Move on




I was sad to leave Ohiopyle – we started driving south into West Virginia. It was good to leave the PA toll road system. The scenery did not change much. Hills covered in deciduous trees and not many rock outcrops to be seen. We stayed on the major routes as a result of our overheating and brake problems a few days before. A good plan of action!

Driving into Seneca rocks we were unexpectedly confronted by a large, very high almost vertical outcrop of grey rock. It was a pleasure to see. Our campground is idyllic yet again – State Parks are a great resource. So many have electric hookups, which allow one to run fans to keep the air moving in hot humid conditions.

After getting the camper set up we made a beeline for the local swimming hole along the river. It was so refreshing. Rob then made us a wonderful three-cheese pasta dish.
The temperature at night is wonderful. While stargazing I spotted a satellite crossing the sky. The forests are infested with glow bugs – it is akin to a mini fireworks display.
