About Us

United Kingdom
Couple of retirees who really enjoy travel - particularly roadtrips to the deserts and prairies. We suspect we must be nomads as characterised by Richard Grant as RV resident retiree nomads in his book "Ghost Riders"

Update from Reston

Wed 2nd Nov

After leaving Hinton we visited the New River Gorge. Met a very pleasant and helpful Ranger in the Visitor Center. Then went to the Grandview recreation area and overlook. Magnificent views into the Gorge. Walked a trail through some caves in the side of the Gorge. The weather, views and colours were just about perfect.
Continued our drive through the byways of West Virginia, all "up and down and round and round" driving through Monongahela National Forest, eventually overnighting in Elkins.

Thurs 3rd Nov

Leisurely drive along WVa state road 55, through more beautiful colours and scenery. Eventually arriving back in Reston at the end of a really memorable road-trip.

Update from Hinton, West Virginia

Tues 1st Nov

After an excellent Halloween in The Library last night, we continued touring today. All driving is along the back roads on VA and WVA. The scenery is great and the autumn colours are at their best.
Stopped in Princeton WVA overnight. More touring tomorrow - which will be our last full day on the road.
