It was a nice drive not too much traffic after we got away the populated area of Ohio (6 lanes of traffic) and went down to 4 lanes of traffic about 80 miles out of Wheeling, WV. Was a pleasure driving through Ohio, small hills in eastern Ohio to the bigger hills near Wheeling.
Cross the bridge and we are in West Virginia for a short time.
Captured a couple of pics as we crossed the bridge, can't believe they turned out as good as they have!
The Ohio River is a good sized river, the hills you see are in West Virginia.
Very picturesque with little towns, villages and houses nestled in the valleys or hanging on the sides of hills.
Travelled to Washington, Pennsylvania, stopping at a KOA campground, which is nestled high in the hills it was sunny and 75F when we arrived around 4:00 pm EDT. We had called ahead to make sure they had space and could accommodate our rig, we are 53’ including the truck, 14’ wide with slides out.
Getting into this campground was an experience. The road to the campground is no wider than the back alleys in towns in Alberta. The road goes straight up at a wicked grade and then we had to make a sharp turn into the campsite area. The old Dodge did it but we were going slow, in first gear, I can’t believe the roads here, but then it is the same in Maryland. This KOA says it is big rig friendly but it wouldn’t be classed as such in Alberta or Ohio even! Forgot just how narrow the roads are here when you get off the interstate. When we were driving to the campground on a side road, anyone coming towards us had to pull over and stop to let us by. Won’t stay here again for sure; the sites are very narrow and not real level. Okay enough complaining eh! We have all the hookups and they do have WiFi so that is a plus! Will be leaving here tomorrow on our last leg to our friend Dave’s, only about 2 hours or so from here.
