WEST VIRGINIA


We arrived at Front Royal in Virginia and found our trailer surrounded by grass but otherwise fine, no sign of any moulds or mice!
We stayed an extra day to sort out things, hoping we would be able to get a TV channel showing the Olympic closing ceremony - we managed to watch NBC who tried their best but they just don't hold a candle to BBC.
I have been very good and continued my Nordic walking, twice with Roy(without poles) and once on my own when we stopped in a state park with bears! Roy mapped me out a route on open ground rather than the trails in the woods. Not sure what the bear would feel like if poked with a pole! 

 West Virginia, a new state for us, and into the Allegheny Mountains. Forest covered, rolling hills that were once of a scale and majesty to rival the Himalayas (just about 470 million years ago according to Bill Bryson in "A Walk in the Woods")
We spent the day roller-coasting the densely wooded country roads dotted with endless small villages while we crossed east to west of the state.

Onwards into Ohio today.
