_Day 63 - 16 August - 210 Miles
Flight 93 Memorial
_The Road
Wheeling WV was the jump off point to I- 70 after continuing up the Ohio River Scenic Byway. From Greensburg we followed US-30 heading for Shawnee State Park. The road is a blast! The hills are nearly straight up and down. The Parks We arrived at the Flight 93 Memorial 15 minutes after closing. Though the rangers were still seeing people out of the parking lot, they informed us the gate was closed. End of story. Lodging It was dark by time we reached the turn off for Shawnee. Searching for a site and setting up in the dark just didn’t seem worth the effort. The Janie Lynn Motel was recently renovated and reasonable in price. Rumour says the new owners are diligently working to overcome its previous reputation as a “crack” motel. It seems they are accomplishing that. |
