start of the road home

This leg of our trip home is the longest days drive but doable and makes the rest of the journey homeward comfortable.  West from Baltimore to Morgantown is through the mountains of Western Maryland including Sidling Hill, Martin Mtn, Bread Loaf Mtn, Negro Mtn, and others.  There are no level roadways as it is all either up hill or down hill mostly at long 6% grades.  These mountain climbs were the reason that in November of 1999 on our first trip with the gas powered truck and with the slow crawl up these grades that I went home and ordered our first diesel truck.  We haven't found our homeland on Martin Mountain but some day we may have to look for it.
