The day began with a flurry of activity at the host hotel where everyone was focused on checking out. There were Model A’s everywhere all getting packed up for the return trip home. Our group was no different; Mike and I were parked on the sidewalk area with a number of other A’s.
We turned our moto-meters northeastward and started our journey home. We would be taking a somewhat different route home, to avoid the mountains of West Virginia. After our experience on the way to Lexington, we made a group decision to take an alternate route home.
Today we would return to Marietta, OH, but instead of taking RT 7 in OH, we took RT 2 in WV. Since these roads follow the river, there were no hills and we really made good time. Leaving Lexington we followed RT 60 Huntington, WV and enjoyed the countryside. I am still in awe of all the beautiful horse farms that we passed by. We switched over to RT 2 in Huntington and made our way north. One interesting aside, we passed the “famous” Hill Billy Hot Dogs in Lesage, WV. This place was featured on Diners, Dives, and Drive-ins. http://www.hillbillyhotdogs.com/ . Unfortunately, we didn’t stop because it was a little too early for lunch, but it was sure an interesting looking place.
We did cross over to OH and picked up RT 7 to Marietta where we had reservations for the night. After a little rest and checking the cars we settled in for the night.
Total mileage was 240 miles today.
