Ms Pudge E Kins keeps her eyes on the prize.

Pudge can almost scan the whole table for the choice items.

Good morning. Amish in the rain. Lamar, Pa

On a two day run through Ohio and West Virginia.  The Amish amaze me.  I've worked with these people
from time to time.  Hard working to a fault.

There are some people who would like to move these folks into the 21st Century.  I'm against this line of thinking.
We're supposed to be a country of religious freedoms and yet some powers that be want to force the Amish community
to adhere to modern medical maxims. 

How far could that go?  Forcing them to electrify their homes?  Force feeding Cable TV upon them?  Replacing their horses
with cars? 

Leave these folks alone.  A community that still holds to their values should be respected and preserved.

Tomorrow.....West Virginia!  :)  I love that place.

Good morning. Barn and Blue Ridge. I-81 N. Near Crawford VA. Headed home.

Good morning. #VFTC Crossing the James River on US Rte 29 S. Lynchburg VA Fog

After a drizzly depressing day on Thursday we are given a fantastic sunrise.

Crossing the James River at Lynchburg, VA.

I talked about US Route 29 through the center of Virginia on Tuesday.  The Fate's of Trucking deemed
that I should run on it for a bit. 

The fog on this road can be killer. 

And, you should take steps to not get killed in it.  Usually the fog runs deadly thick from Charlottesville to Amherst. 
With the worse part between Nelson County Wayside (aka Home of the Waltons) and Lovingston. 

Watch your speed and remember not to get too focused on your hood.  Look up and out into the fog.
The rolling hills will let you catch a glimpse of tail lights at night if the fog isn't too bad.
If you're going to run below the speed limit put on your flashers.  That will let guys like me see you a bit
earlier.  ;)

whoop, whoop...running the Trail. 
And, A howdy ho to all those Seminole Trail Ridge Runners out there.

Va farm land in the shadow of Drogheda Mountain. Near Rixeyville VA. #VFTC

A view from the cab #VFTC .

I used to live not too far from this farm.  I was visiting friends at the top of this road and had to
get this picture. 

All lands, either rural or urban have a beauty to them.

Sometimes we can't or won't see the beauty, but it's there for sure.

This part of Virginia is also a place I could retire too.  The land is fair and the folk are
the salt of the earth.  Good people are every where too.

I just had to post this one.

More to come....

Good morning for Wed. The falls on the Schuylkill River at Norristown, PA.

Shot on the way home yesterday.  The view from the US Route 202 Bridge over the Schuylkill River.  Norristown, Pa is the
Montgomery County seat.  Route 202 splits at the north end of town.  It becomes two one-way streets through town.

Many old buildings and row homes line the streets.

I took US 202 just to do something different and to avoid the Pa Turnpike tolls.

Slept most of yesterday afternoon and evening.  A true joy.

More today.

Good morning. Sandston Va. Virgina Farm Bureau Warehouse. Just waiting.

Sitting and waiting for a load.

Not sure what they store at the Farm Bureau.  But, I've looked over at
the warehouse many times.  They always have lots of tires and chemicals out on that dock.

Not much to report today.  Loading and going to go visit some friends in Culpeper, Va.

Maybe some nice pictures of the Virginia country side later.

Good morning. Looking south from Afton Mtn. I-64 E in Va. Home of the Waltons

Not really the shot I wanted today.  I was hoping that I could run across US Rte 33
between Ruckersville and Harrisonburg, VA.  There is an awesome
hairpin curve there.  However time is my Master today and I had to take a different route.

But, I give you the valley that the TV show
The Waltons was supposed to have taken place in. 

I used to run US Rte 29 down through that valley everyday.  What a great ride.
If you ever get the chance you should run this road. 

The Seminole Trail or the 29 Infantry Road as it's called.  You'll
see Americana for sure here. 

Get off the 4 lane and check out the back roads as often as you can.
I do. 

Hope all y'alls week goes well.
More tomorrow.
