Road Trip Day 1


Travel day, drove from home to Louisville, Kentucky.  Nice traveling weather, a little drizzly when we left home but otherwise sunny/partly cloudy/back to sunny the rest of the day. 

After a couple of stops to try to find a car charger for our GPS, and a gas fill-up, we were soon making our way through NC into the western part of Virginia, into West Virginia, then a westerly turn into Kentucky. Stopped for a picnic lunch at the Kentucky welcome center, then on to Louisville.  Just had dinner at a local pizza place recommended by the desk clerk.  Nice little family place with a plate of baked spaghetti large enough for a family!  Most of today's pics are from the car so excuse the bug spots on the windshield. :-)

  1. When I read the words "West Virginia" - John Denver started singing in my head...

    Anyway beautiful scenery and spaghetti for dinner. A perfect day.

  2. I love Pilot Mountain! I had to Wikipedia it. They said that the nearby town was often referred to on The Andy Griffith Show as "Mount Pilot" - and all this time, I thought they were saying "Mont Piler". Now I'm really confused! But I still like the mountain.

    Pilot Mountain is close to Mt. Airy, Andy Griffith's boyhood home. There's a state park there, hope we can visit it soon.
