We had a longer day of driving than we anticipated but were feeling good so kept on boogieing. We checked out of our Days Inn just outside of Asheville at 9:00 a.m. and after breakfast, struck out on our trip. Gas was out in that area but we had plenty so didn't worry. At 10:30 we stopped at Sam's Club in Johnson City, TN and topped off our tank at $3.76. The attendant said they had been out of gas and had just received a shipment over night. There were no lines at the pumps. We went into Sam's to walk a bit and bought ourselves to nice heavy fleece jackets. We got back on the road at 11:00. At 11:30, we entered Virginia. It's always kind of exciting to cross a state line. (I know~~ I'm weird!!) We stopped for a Hardee's burger in Marion, VA for lunch. At 4:00 p.m., we topped off our tank again in Staunton, VA for $3.61. We had picked out a motel in Winchester, VA but didn't like the looks of it so drove for another hour~~ and stopped here in Martinsburg, West Virginia at an very nice Holiday Inn and are "inn" for the night. We thank God for a safe day of travel!!We noticed it was quite windy today and are hearing on TWC tonight about the weather front that is impacting the east coast just ahead of us. Might make for an interesting day of travel tomorrow so would appreciate your prayers!
We are seeing lots of "tinge" of foliage color the father north we come. I made a couple of pics and posted them above in tribute to God's awesome gift of Autumn.
