May 26, 2011. Gassaway, West Virginia. A Great Drive.

Highway 77 is a wonderful highway, right through the valley into West Virginia.  Often, we drive right north on Highway 81 to Winchester, then take 322 to Hancock and then on to the farm.  Today we went the GPS way, which takes us north at Wytheville on 77, then  north through the center of West Virginia on 19, back north on 79 up to Morgantown, finally east on 68 to the farm.    It has been a pretty drive.

Highway 81 takes you right up the Valley, east of the mountains, so it is very pretty but the traffic is fierce.  It is constant trucks, almost like a truck convoy, so we elected to drive on a less travelled road even though most of the roads were interstate highways.  Again, we drove for five and one half hours and after a good night sleep and a good breakfast we will be at the farm by noon.  Then we will begin the hard work!!
