As we were driving along, Hannah was looking at a road map and noticed the Appalachian Trail running in the general area. We made a short detour to find where it crossed one of the local roads.
While we were there, we took a short hike down the trail to stretch our legs.
Then we were back on the road. In this part of Pennsylvania you are likely to encounter horse and buggy traffic on the roads which we did. We also spotted this in a small strip shopping center parking lot.
As we continued south, we went down into the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. We saw a sign pointing off to our right labeled "covered bridge". We couldn't resist turning off and found the longest covered bridge in Virginia. We didn't realize it at the time but it turned out to be a virtual cache.
Finally, after a long day of driving, in rain at times, we reached Roanoke, VA, our destination for the day.

Wow, you two on are the last leg of this one - and it's been a long road. Your blog & pictures have made it nice for me (and I'm sure everyone) to share the journey. So keep on being safe and see you soon.
