I-81 South

Left Scranton PA on I-81 Tuesday morning the 16th of September driving south.  Pennsylvania Mountains of last night on I-84 behind and looking ahead to getting into the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. PA went by and soon we were looking at Virginia. Maryland and West Virginia are afterthoughts on I-81 though West VA does have a welcome center. Optimists I reckon.  

Anyone who has traveled this road knows trucks on this route love the left lane and today was no exception.

We did enjoy the scenery and dramatic skies.

Patt did find time to put some of those trucks behind us as occasionally they would get into the right lane and scoot, we were gone.

No further evidence was needed that we had left the Maritimes of Canada or the farms of New England behind than taking VA Route 60 due south from I-81 south of Lynchburg headed toward Raleigh when we rounded the first curve and look out — our adopted first plant — kudzu.

Got home before dark - 4307 looked pretty good. Patt got some groceries, I did a little unloading and - well, time to start thinking about hitting the road again.
