That's the thing I miss most having moved to Florida where the biggest hill
is an overpass and all the corners have stop lights/signs.

Enjoy! I love riding out that way. We went up to the National Radio
Astronomy Observatory early in June, then had lunch at Snowshoe during
a long weekend in Lewisburg, WV. Ripping up WV Rt 66 was a blast.
This weekend will be spent visiting with my oldest son who just
finished his technical training for the Air Force. He's home for a
couple weeks before heading to Germany and his first duty station.
He's all growed up now.
