This Moring and Em Visits Up the Road

The day has basically been lazy for all of us, with only a few family stopping by today.
Amy and I Woke around 6:30a, and just lounged a bit before taking showers, and dressing. We enjoyed some time with Aunt Doris and Uncle John, had coffee, then roused the girls and got ready to meet Susan for Church. Service was good, with (from what I'm told) a pretty new Pastor)

Once Services were over, we scooted back to the Carr homestead for some great leftovers from last night. I sat and just enjoyed listening to the conversations roll along. Kimberly went to RoadAbode and worked on homework, Emily played some games, and I ended up checking in here and the servers at work - checked email, then signed on here. The previous posts from today and yesterday I did via mobile, hence the lack of a lot of description
Amy and Em went visiting up Turner Ridge Road to Susan's home, and visited her barn ...and Goats. Think Em felt like she was at her own private petting zoo!

Good Day, and still a bit to go. Tomorrow we'll be on the road to Indiana.

Adventure (and MIS-Adventure) in Kentucky














Ride down thru West Virginia into Kentucky went smoothly after our stay at Hampton Inn in Buckhannon West Virginia, which is near where the Sago Mine explosion in Jan 2006 occurred.
Things went well, untill we tried using Route 199 to cut over to 632/192 for Phelps. Amy wanted to try a new route to get to Phelps more directly - Route 199
Seems 199 is on the map, but turns into a gravel road that looks like a small driveway - twisting up the side of the mountain. (Even Lola our new GPS said so!) Tried doing a turn around. could'nt make it - almost got stuck.. Went on forward, and was waved down by a gent sitting on his porch halfway up a hill - he came down and jumped in - and directed us to the place "all the school buses turn around" about a 1/2 mile up further on the road. Headed back out to the main road - with our tail between our legs - but all still safe and sound.
Finally made it to Phelps about an hour late. Great to see Our friends Justin and Leia - and she is looking great in the part of "expectant mother"!














Assessed RoadAbode - bent up her electrical connection for RoadToad on our little adventure on 199, but will fix that when we are backhome in Philly.
