Day 3 – Wellsboro, PA to Staunton, VA
Sunday, August 14
Sunday, August 14
This is the official start of this year epic motorcycle adventure which includes the tail of the dragon (US129) and the Natchez Trace Parkway, in the next 12 days we will ride about 3,000 miles and travel through 14 states.
We (Ben who is traveling again with me this year) got away from Wellsboro a bit behind our schedule, but the first day that is not unusual. Within 30 minutes of leaving Wellsboro we had to stop and put on rain gear, and it rained for the next 2 hours, and these mountain roads can be slick (slippery). By the time we reached Sunbury, PA the rain had stopped, so off with the rain gear. Also by that time it was time for lunch anyway.
After our lunch stop it was time for some serious riding on I-81, heading South to Staunton, VA, which we arrived at around 7:15pm, but not after having to put the rain gear on again, about an hour from Staunton, so we arrived a bit damp, but safe.
