The Ride to Richmond (July 8, 2016)

Made a detour to see a Navy buddy (female) in Indiana for a few days at Rising Star. We had a great time and that is a very nice town. Casino there, I had no luck but it was fun nonetheless. Indiana is full of nice and fun people.
All good things end though and headed back to Richmond on Friday morning. Good thing was the weather was good, much better than the trip up there. Did have some rain but not the constant and heavy rain of the trip to Louisville.
Took this photo at the West Virginia State Capital building. Interesting statues there....there is this one of Abe Lincoln and also one of Stonewall Jackson. To be fair though, Jackson is a native son. West Virginia split from the state during the Civil War deciding to go with the Union. Considering how it turned out, that was a good call. State is pretty neat, saw a lot of coal there of course, and really nice towns along the way.
I like going that way. When I lived in Carolina would go up through Tennessee most of the time, though did have West Virginia as an option.West Virginia and Virginia are fun roads to travel.    

Top photo is either Virginia or West Virginia. Nice roads in both places. I did make a stop at The Blue Ridge Parkway on the way back. Funny thing is that I was just there, on my motorcycle, Father's Day. On my motorcycle page is pretty much that same photo, though with two wheels instead of four. Considering the weather during the trip, good transportation choice this trip. It was a lot of fun, and nice to get out. Ready to enjoy the second half of the year and to see what comes my way in the course of it.
