Southern US: September 2020
Matt gets up way too early, but then, I find as I get older, I get up earlier and earlier as well, so it wasn't a big deal. So it was an early day back on the road. Enjoyed some different backroads on the way to the major state highways and then the interstate, where I parted ways with Matt and Ted on the outskirts of Asheville.
Pretty short drive for the day, including a fast food stop for chicken and biscuits at Bojangles on Matt's recommendation before hitting West Virginia (state 49 of 50 on the list!). Downtown Princeton had a little bit of charm despite its many shuttered storefronts, and I got the proper West Virginia experience as the hotel lost power for the better part of the entire afternoon and evening. And of course, no power meant no wifi!
Got plenty of smug looks from the anti-maskers crawling all over the local Cracker Barrel, ate my Sunday pot roast in by flashlight in the hotel (it wasn't bad, considering how cheap it was!), and then called it a night.
