Hi All: Had a wonderful short trip today. Only about 160 miles to Flatwoods, WV. At a nice KOA with WiFi and the satellite dish locked up within seconds. We are on the side of a mountain though. I do know what they say about folks from this part of the country having one leg shorter than the other. Don't know why they call this town "FLATWOODS" either. There are NO flatwoods around here. Beautiful country though. Know why Amy picked this place to stop. There is a Factory Outlet Mall right here at the Intersection. GO FIGURE. HEE HEE. She has already drug me over there... I think I bought more than she did too. Mine was nuts etc, her's was One dish...???

Could not find a grocery store any where around here. Had most everything else. No grocery store. Wonder what the folks eat that live here. Kentucky Fried Chicken, Wendy's, Taco Bell etc??? We did find a half gallon of milk at a gas station Food Mart for $3.10. That's over $6.00 a gallon???? Should be cheaper than that with all the cows I have seen around here....

We have about 160 more miles to go to get to New Castle tomorrow. The Mountains are beautiful, but do slow down the traveling. This Motor Home takes the hills great. Can pass most of the 18 wheelers on the hills. The hills sure has ate in to my MPG though....

Attached are a couple photo's Amy has taken. The one with the motor home in it is here in Flatwoods....

Semper Fi.
