Waynesboro, VA to Fairmont, WV Started at 9:00 a.m. ended about 6:00 p.m.
Total miles = 382
When I left Waynesboro, I rode the expressway around the Skyline Drive to Front Royal. In Front Royal I stopped at the visitor’s center. This town is very neat and clean. It is also very historic, but I didn’t stay long. I was anxious to get going on the Skyline. So I got on the Skyline and rode it back to Waynesboro. I was only on the Skyline for a few miles when I encountered a black bear crossing the road. It wandered across the road and sat on top of a rock fence. It was within 30 feet of me as I passed it by. Near the end of the Skyline Drive I had another animal encounter. This time it was a rattlesnake crossing the road. This time is was within a few feet as I dodged around it. I got to Waynesboro at 2:30. From there I got on US 250 and headed northwest toward home. That evening I stopped in Fairmont, WV. On the way to Fairmont I passed through Philippi which was very historic looking and had a really neat double covered bridge.
