I mean I do wish it was longer and didn’t start and end in the rain ☔.

Last Sunday night and Monday was cool to start out the trip and Friday had clouds most of the day but for the most part the weather was excellent for late October. 🎃 Leaves were mostly done in the West Virginia high country but thats to be expected at this point. Some of the hollows and more protected areas had more color 🍂 as did Maryland.

The C-O Trail was beautiful and neat, especially the Paw Paw Tunnel. The backside of Dolly Sods was fun to explore but it was hazy. Table Rock was nice, especially the bike ride 🚲 along Canaan Loop Road. Got a lot of good use of the bike. Big Red treated me well, 🛻and it was relaxing. I do wish I wasn’t so dog tired each evening or time went by so quickly ⏳ and I would have had more time to read 📖 but I can do that back home 🏡.

I also do wish maybe I could have seen more of West Virginia and Pennsylvania but there was only so much time, 🚘 travel time takes a lot and it was rather nice to have the same campsite ⛺ as a home base, six out of the eight days, allowing me to maximize the most of the 10 ½ hours of daylight. So many more places to explore and things do if only more time. ⏳
