It felt good to be on the road again, making progress. We covered some good mileage today, heading into the State of West Virginia. We took time to enjoy the mountain scenery
having taken a more minor route, The Midland Trail (route 60).

In our quest to find ever-cheaper campsites we had
downloaded some extra Apps, including one called ‘Allstays’. This showed all independent and State Park
sites, as well as other points of interest for campers – for example
Campingworld, propane refilling stations, Supermarkets etc. Using this app, we found what seemed like the
impossible for tonight – a FREE RV campsite with electric hook-ups! The write-up explained that there was a
two-night maximum stay rule, it was first-come first-served and had an honesty
box if you wanted to make a small donation towards water/electricity you
use. The reviews weren’t raving about it
exactly, but for a one night stop-off, what more do you need? It was next to a river in St Albans. Apart from initially struggling to find the
site in torrential rain and fading light there was no problem. Thankfully there was one perfect,
Harvey-sized gap left on the site. Once
we’d plugged our electric lead in (using a spare plastic carrier bag to try and
prevent rain water getting anywhere dangerous!) we settled in for the night and
battened down the hatches! Here’s a

With 13 days to go until the Morrissey gig in
Dallas we had some careful planning to do to ensure that we have time to take
in the locations important to us, whilst making this important deadline.
