Getting there is half the fun so they say

We are in Norfork Virginia  5:00 PM

What can I say about quality inn wow. I didn't know they let working girls in here.

 Don't get me wrong I'm not against a  woman make a couple of bucks by freelancing

$60 a night the dogs stay free and no that's the price of the room she doesn't do dogs 

Well  if you like rain we definitely had it this morning

We left red roof inn about 7 o'clock and from that point to about 230pm it was raining on and off and some of it really heavy

So after that the sun came out and it was time to play

So we drove some more

I didn't get a photo of it but the lowest price of gasoline was 1,84$

As soon as  we crossed over into Virginia gas jumped up to 2,29$

As for tomorrow it will be the Chesapeake Bay Tunnel and Bridge (toll)

It's really not unusual to see a Old style cracker house with a porch everything is falling down around it and then you have a Doublewide 100 feet away

If you have the ability to think back to the 1700s One can get an appreciation for the modern conveniences like a diesel tractor combine. Opposed to a very bad back bending over picking you know what and I think how far apart some of the farms and plantations well  you certainly didn't go into town to get something that you forgot the first time it would probably be a two day trip

In all the traveling that I've done in and around the US states,, even so there's a lot of agriculture a Georgia South Carolina North Carolina Virginia and you still can't be the heartland of America Kansas Oklahoma Indiana Iowa  that to me is the true heartland of America,,, Even so I Marvel at the fact that farmland here on the East Coast produce and abundance array of products some crops not found anywhere in the United States but here
