Second day of WV fall trip

Another beautiful day of fall motorcycle riding in the mountains. Got up this morning with cloudy skies and about 52 degrees. Talked to a group from Erie, PA returning (in a trailer) from Daytona. They had had a great trip. It was a father and two sons. Ate breakfast at the motel, packed up and headed out around 8:15 am.

After about an hour of riding the skies started to clear out and the sun was shining. The temps warmed up quickly to 70 degrees. The fall leaves were beautiful today on some real nice scenic views.

I came back through Watoga State Park near Marlinton, WV and planned to eat lunch there at the park restaurant. Well, the restaurant was closed for the season so that didn't happen.





Ended up at a picnic table eating an apple, almonds and beef jerky. Not a bad lunch in any case! The park was beautiful and I had it practically to myself. Beautiful leaf color and overlooks. Lots of nice cabins for rent in the park. Might have to plan a trip sometime just to spend a night or two in one of the cabins.



 Did 317 miles today so that made 617 for the two day trip. My 07 Ultra now has almost 69,000 miles on it. Planning a trip to Graves Mountain Lodge near Syria, VA with my wife along with a friend and his wife this coming Saturday for the annual Apple Fest. Looking forward to that trip too.
