    My wife and I spent another afternoon on the bike, maybe 85-90 miles, WV, OH, KY.
    This picture was taken at Virginia Park, the tip of WV in the tristate area. The Big Sandy river (behind the photographer's left) which separates WV and KY, flows into the Ohio River (background of the bike. There's a few barges parked right there, lol) (Ohio past the river).

    It's a cool idea, but the actual location, shall we say, lacks sparkle.

      Sounds like a nice time. Looks sunny and warm there too. The river through town here, Rio Grande, is far different from that one. It's about six inches deep and muddy. Vehicles are restricted from the area near the shore and the threat of wildfire has access very limited.

              Got the Trophy out this morning to explore a little more of Eastern Tennessee. Ended up a little further off the beaten path than I normally due. I love living here.

                no need to look further than this thread for beautiful bikes and interesting scenery (solar panel arrays and stolen cars etc..)

                haha! If you were taking pictures of yourself there it might be more of a worry...

                          Bob, THat is an interesting road to explore. I would be asking myself "Why is this road even paved?".

                          (or is that not pavement....)

                              What is in Bob's pic is chip n seal (AKA) loose white rock on top of hot tar. Most formerly gravel roads here are the same, not a bad surface but sometimes the gravel comes loose from the tar, usually in a curve............

                              Life is a balancing act, enjoy every day, "later" will come sooner than you think. Denying yourself joy now betting you will have health and money to enjoy life later is a bad bet.

                                Years ago on the way to my Aunts place in Pa, I drove my 66 ElCamino thru a fairly fresh section of that. There's probably still tar and stones on the front A arms to this day.
