Paul and I went to Walmart to get them fixed and buy some stuff. We raced back to the start to give Darrin his glasses just moments before they headed out.
The toll roads are just a comom occurance in the north. I always seemed to get in the wrong lane and it would take for ever (2 -3 minutes) to get throught them.
Paul and I decided to head out and try to go to Big River National Park. I set the GPS for the park and away we went. Little did I know it was set for the center of the park. We left the main hiway and traveled some beautiful back country roads. They kept getting smaller and smaller until we were on a logging trail. We were able to turn around at a farmers house and get back to the main road and to the town of Berckley.
The landscape is
quickly changing on the Great. The scores are settling in. There were
incredible views of mountains, valleys, hills, twists and turns. It was quite
the tour, as we crossed over into West Virginia after rallying in Eastern Kentucky
for most of the morning. We made our way to Huntington, West Virginia for
lunch, and were greeted with a great crowd and a quick lunch to get everyone
re-energized for a long afternoon. The rally course for the afternoon only
consisted of one leg, and it gave the teams some time to unwind, even though
the roads were pretty twisty. The reason for the short rally time was to give
teams some time to visit New River Gorge National Park. After our fun trip down
into the gorge, we came back up to the highway and rolled into Beckley, West
Virginia for our Day 7 overnight stop. Thousands of people crowded the narrow
streets as the racers parked.
Big Red crossed the finish line and Same proudly displayed the ACE thay had won for the day. This brought their total to two. Darrin would place his on on the driver sida and Sam would place his on the passenger side.
Big Red was so long that they chose to put her in the handicap area instead of block the whole street by backing her in.
