Day 50 of #BoxsterRoadTrip and we continue southward.
Today we covered another 4 states! We started in Pennsylvania, then Maryland, back to Pennsylvania, back to Maryland, into West Virginia and then to Virginia. We have now done 32 states (with 16 to go)!
Another sunny day! We have been so lucky on this trip (and Steve was worried we’d be chased by tornados, encounter hurricanes and have to dig our way out of snow banks)!
The first part of the trip was mostly driving. But we were sticking to back roads and the scenery was great. It is so much nicer to go through the small towns. One such town was Middletown, Virginia (just outside of Fredericksburg), where we enjoyed the Halloween decorations all down the center of town. These are only a few of the fun “characters” we encountered!
Then some of the decorations were a little bit scarier!
And some were just fun or inspirational . . .
All of them were well done and show Middletown’s Halloween “Spirit”!
After the fun, we got a lot more serious and stopped at the Antietam National Battlefield, where 23,000 soldiers were killed or wounded in one day of Civil War fighting. We wanted to go to Harper’s Ferry, also, but spent so much time at Antietam that we only drove by Harper’s Ferry on our way to Strasburg (our stop for the evening).
Tomorrow is the drive down the Blue Ridge Mountain’s Skyline Drive.
The journey continues . . .
Are you going to see the Biltmore Estate in North Carolina ?
We sure are! And looking forward to it!
