Day 8 – Bryd’s WV Pork Barrel: Appalachian Highway System

The Appalachian (ahh-chians, not ay-shins mind you Californians) Highway is one of the most beautiful in the country, with tremendous views from the steep and windy roads and wild-flowers all over. Too bad only 4 of us could enjoy it since it just seemed like a giant piece of pork barrel for WV. Thank you Senator Byrd!

We would also like to thank Google Maps for directing us to this scenic route that took us deep into the heart of WV. Google says it's the shortest road but I have a feeling that the interstates might have been a little faster... We got to drive through some quaint small towns and right up next to Seneca Rocks.

Other things to note about WV is that the English there is akin to that of the beginning of Deliverance and that you apparently take your house with you when you move.
