West Virginia

Our best Day Odyssey Series vid to date! Not to be missed! Features classic vid scenes! Plenty of fall color too! Shouldn't build it up too much, though, in case my next one's better!

Watch this piecemeal, or all at once! Either way, it'll be well worth it!

We use our 1986 route from Baltimore to West Virginia, the one used on our first ride to Cass ever! We won't see Cass in this vid, but plenty of other RR spots to be had!

We begin on I-95 and head south to the DC area before picking up route 66 (NOT the classic one!) to Strasburg VA where we gain VA 55. Had a little trouble getting the camera to focus early on, but stick with the vid-it gets better!

VA/WV 55 is a fantastic mountain route! I edited in scenes from my 1986 vid (sorry for the somewhat obtrusive background music-no YT back then!) to show how things were then-and to show my first impressions of this route! Also one can see the differences in home video-then and now!

We'll pass through quaint towns along the way like Wardensville, Moorefield and Petersburg. We'll also check out points of interest like Champe Rocks, Seneca Rocks (affected by the gov't shutdown!), Harper's Country Store, Bowden Cave, and Elkins.

I've been through many of these small mountain towns.
