Sunday, 7/28 - So much for that theory!

It rained Saturday night, but by Sunday morning the rain had stopped and the ground was simply wet. Since there was still a "chance" of rain, we put on our gators and rain pants - surely this would be all that we would need to convince Mother Nature that it didn't need to rain on our parade! We said goodbye to Grace and Ken and by 7:30 were on our way to Canaan Valley, West Virginia. Not five minutes away from their house, it began to rain. And the rain stayed with us for about an hour. The good news is that we survived!

I must admit, we really did see some magnificent scenery on our journey from Pennsylvania to West Virginia.  A couple of rest stops along the way, another stop on the side of the road to switch headsets with Vaughn since my headset stopped working and I couldn't hear the Garmin, and a stop to get "groceries" at Walmart and we were on our way to the cabin.



The owners of the cabin clearly said DON'T FOLLOW YOUR GPS SYSTEM. And I knew I was going to be turning onto a gravel road. Not following their directions, I turned where the Garmin said turn - wrong gravel road. Try it again. I turned where the Garmin said turn - wrong gravel road again! This time Vaughn took lead and found the road we were supposed to turn on - clearly marked with the name of the road. Of course!

The cabin was adorable with great views from every side.  So quaint and cute!  If it weren't for this whole needing to work thing, I think I could quite happily wake up to these views each morning.


The plan was to have dinner with our friends, Kate and Katie. But we were exhausted after riding all day. They kindly came to pick us up. Dinner was great! Kate is an amazing cook! We had a wonderful time. They drove us back to the cabin with the plan to catch up tomorrow to go hiking.
