I went to Oakland, Md. yesterday with a load of treated lumber. I was talking to Big Jim on the phone when I went through Troutville on rt. 220- that's where I should have gotten on 81 north up to Broadway. When I realized where I was, I was almost to Eagle Rock- too late to turn back now. I didn't want to take 64 east all the way back to Lexington and get on 81, so I just took 42 up to 39 and over to 220, and ran it all the way to Petersburg, W.V. That's a little better than staying on 220 and going through Covington, Hot Springs, and Warm Springs. I pulled over at a big wide spot by the creek, that's where I saw a raccoon. Then this morning I was headed to Pittsburgh after I left Oakland and saw this black bear crossing the road. Almost missed getting the picture, I was scrambling to get my camera and it went off prematurely, but fortunately the bear was in the picture.
