    I think it was a combination of having seen and explored enough of nature
    and having to fend for herself. :)

    True, the outdoor sites would be available 24/7 anyway... :) Hope your trip is going well... :)

    So far so good.
    I've only run into a couple of minor issues, such as no indoor dining,
    but I seldom do that anyway. I take a cooler, bread, sandwich makings, etc.
    I got delayed an hour. The Enterprise place I was to get my car was
    closed for the duration and everything moved to another location. Didn't know that until I got to the first one.
    No one allowed inside. One got someones attention then that person came outside. At least the weather is nice. Been nicer if they had chairs.
    On the old roads one sees things. On a interstate it the same thing mile after mile after mile.
    Visited the Falls of the Kanawha River. No Niagara Falls by a long
    shot, but it was something to see.
    The most beautiful was the Cathedral Waterfall. Cascading off a 1000
    foot sheer drop from a rim down a hill side into a stream that leads to the Kanawha River. A real site to see.
    Its just along the road, with no real markings and would have missed it
    had it not been for a few cars I saw. Only room for about 12 of them. And lots of people there.
    Then the thrill ride of up, over, down mountainsides, hair pin curves,
    ess curves, all at the breakneck speed of 25-30 mph. Often times of around 10-15 mph. Don't have anything like that on an interstate!
    Today will be Civil War sites on one of my famous walking tours.
