DAY #5 (FRIDAY)...MOUNDSVILLE, WV. TO LA VALE, MD...191 MILES (1601)

We left Moundsville, WV on Friday morning around 9:30, riding SE on highway 250. We stopped in Mannington, WV. for breakfast. This restaurant is the "real deal" and so are the owners. Jack and I love to eat in places like this, getting to know the people in the community. The food was great too. Thank you so much Danny and Wendy for your hospitality.


Riding on SE to 50 highway, we headed East to highway 219. We made a quick stop at the WV National Cemetery which was quite impressive.



Then it was on to Grantsville, MD., the site of Thumpercafe #22.



After checking with the restaurant to make sure everything was ready for Saturday, we rode over to La Vale, MD. where we are spending the night with about 10-12 other FSSNOC members. We had supper together then back to the motel for a good nights rest, hopefully.


I will start for home on Saturday afternoon, just as soon as the event is over. It is 1130 miles to my home, and Jack and I have ridden 1600 miles getting here. I'm pretty sure we haven't been lost for 500 miles, so I will attribute it to having so much fun we didn't want to stop. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
My next post will cover some highlights of the event.
