Before we left Kentucky, we made a short visit to the "Payne Cemetary" in Augusta. We don't think we're related to these folks, but we are going to check it out.
We then headed across the Ohio River via a 6-car ferry to the Ohio side. We followed the river for about 100 miles to Huntington, West Virginia and then through the West Virginia mountains. The drive was spectactular in terms of the scenery and the winding (Cobra friendly) roads. The temperature has been adjusted down slightly which made the day close to perfect.
Our destination today was the home of Charlie and Becky Wilson in Hot Springs, Virginia. After a delightful dinner at a local eatery, we caught the last couple of performers at a local Jazz & Blues festival. We are spending the night in the Wilson's home across the road from the famous Homestead Resort. Their home, built in 1925 by the owner of the Homestead, has been meticulously restored over the past three years to reflect the very unique and special place that it holds in the history of the community.
