Hudson Rescues Stick from Ohio River. See Parkersburg /Belpre in background
T
The shake down cruise was an overall success and we are on our way.
Swimming B+ Couldn't swim in mountain streams due to recent heavy rains.
The road, the views B+ Outstanding but photos limited by fog. The mountains of West Virginia are dramatic and the roads are an interesting contrast. In some places your crossing mountains on 2 Lane switchbacks with 6% grades and in other places it is a big 4 Lane highway cutting through the mountains. Then in Ohio it is beautiful rolling rich farmland coming alive with the adventure of spring.
Roadside Dinner of the day B +
Lodging Airbnb in Dayton B+ fence yard for Hudson
A stop at Audra State Park. Soggy after torrential rain. Mountain streams unswimmable. Still good for a ball/stick game.
Crystal Cafe, 3 blocks from the Ohio River in Petersburg.

Spending night in Dayton paying tribute to the Wright Brothers and the America which put insurance faith in the uncommon genius of the common citizen.
