When we left Milton, WVA [about 20 miles East of the KY border] this morning, the forecast for the day was a high of 61 degrees but we arrived in the Walnut Hills Campground near Staunton, VA at about 5:30pm to 77 degrees. After another day of Tornado Warnings yesterday and an approaching cold front that has been crossing the country in this region, we appear to have outrun the front for now, but the forecast for tomorrow here is a high of only 52 - obviously the front will be overtaking us sometime soon.
On our way across the widest part of West Virginia, we traveled on the curviest Interstate Highways that I've ever encountered, not to mention a whole lot of climing and descending - probably never more than a mile or so of flat land at any one time for most of the way. We stopped at the largest roadside rest that I've ever seen, including a huge circular gift shop that must have been 1/4 mile in diameter. There were thousands upon thousands of items to choose from, but it is really quite amazing how our limited storage space will keep us from finding things that we can't live without; however, the stop also included a Starbucks - a first in quite a long time.
If the weather holds, we hope to be enjoying at least some portion of the Skyline Drive on our way North tomorrow and we will likely be heading into PA by Monday, April 14th.
