There are a lot of Christian music stations and wildflowers in Western Maryland. Neither of which I have a problem with. Also did you know that they're rebuilding Noah's Ark? I guess that's a good thing. You know. Just in case.
West Virginia is actually lovely. There's no shortage of country stations, which I love, and I even saw a sign for moonshine. I probably should've stopped to check it out, but Belle was getting a little antsy around the middle of the day. I guess the dog that loves car rides doesn't really love 12 hour car rides.
I also passed the Amazon customer service center. Kinda does make sense to put it in West Virginia since people here are so friendly. One man at a gas station had about half the teeth he should have but he smiled at me and Belle very politely.
And one question I had to ask myself some point in western West Virginia was,"Am I still in the same time zone?" Usually I move through them at the speed of a modern jetplane. I'm definitely not used to ambling along, crossing state lines like I'm hopping scotch and resting for a while on each square. The answer, I discovered much later, was yes.
I also wondered as I drove through the Daniel Boone National Forest if that's where the name boonies came from. While I often affectionately use the term to refer to where I live, being in Kentucky and seeing the whole slew of trees that seems to make up the better part of the state gave it a whole new meaning.
I'll be phone-blogging the rest of this trip so look forward to rising milage and hopefully more share-worthy landmarks.
