ROAMING VIRGINIA

Sunday found not just glorious weather here in The Old Dominion, but some glorious driving along southeast Virginia's back roads. Johnny and I headed out for West Point to catch Virginia Route 14 just east of town. Turning northwest on 14 took us across the beautiful farmland King & Queen County, and through picturesque towns such as Stevensville and Walkerton. Route 14 eventually brought us to VA Route 30 and a turn southeast back to West Point. A slight detour for gas before heading home made the trip exactly 80 miles.

There are so many more of these roads to explore across this great state, that I'm afraid I'll be racking up the miles on Johnny faster than I want to. But then again, what is the point of having a great piece of machinery if you don't use it. Parts can be replaced when they wear out. Missed experiences cannot be.

  1. Thanks for the nicely written blog; always great to see a W/C126-Mercedes with interesting backgrounds and hear all the stories associated with it. Great looking car, good work, enjoy !!

Long Overdue

I can't believe it's been two years since I posted anything about Johnny. Just as with the rest of you it's be a tumultuous time...
