With another great weather weekend upon us, I decided to take my Easter plans on the road. Got out of town on Saturday morning a little late, rode about 5 hours from home on some awesome twisties and had my modest little camp set up by 4pm on Saturday evening. On the way we stopped a couple times to take on liquids and once for fuel and food. Here's my sidekick waiting patiently while I retrieved lunch.
He was on the ground sitting beside the bike when I went inside. I think he likes sitting on the seat so from now on that's where he'll get to wait.
The campground was nearly empty when I arrived and I believe the total was about three sites being occupied. There was no one in the loop I had chosen which is right beside a mountain stream. Here's the bike sitting in the pullout while I was deciding which site to take.
There was plenty of blowdown and treetops laying everywhere so firewood was not a problem. It didn't take Long to get a nice fire going which kept myself and my dog Buddy nice and toasty while we listened to the conversation between two Barred Owls. The sun failed to appear like the weather man said it should and it was a bit chilly by nightfall. As the sounds of the owls faded into the night it was time to turn in.
On Easter morning it didn't take long to have a blazing fire to sit by and enjoy a nice hot cup of coffee. I had plenty of wood and had all day to get home so I enjoyed the morning.
Even took time to take a short hike on one of the trails at the campground.
It was difficult to say goodby to camp and it was off again on a different adventure for the day. I rode several of the best roads I know in WV and made a very non-direct route to get home by. Stopped by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank WV on the way through.
After a quick stop in Elkins, WV for fuel and fluid intake it was off again on some great twists and turns the rest of the way home. A wonderful 507 miles on some of the best roads WV has to offer. What a great weekend. I hope everyone had a great Easter, I sure did.
