Princeton,WV

We left Peach and Don's around 12:00 yesterday. 

We got a good look at the capitol building as we drove around Charleston. The dome doesn't shine like it once did. I think that due to the expense of the gold leaf paint they used to have on it.  It is painted with something less expensive now. 

As we approached the toll booth of the West Virginia Turnpike the traffic was backing up.  It sure looked as though they were taking in a lot of money today.  The toll for me towing the car was $3.25 and before I was through I paid that amount two more times. The road was pretty rough quite a few spots.  Makes one wonder what the toll money is used for?   

After a few more miles the traffic was backed up again and moving slow.  We soon saw why.  This vehicle looked like it did a roll over.  It was a Toyota make---Hmmmm.
We did make it to Callie's safe and sound. After leveling out and hooking up we had a nice evening talking with her as we sat out in the gazebo,with a nice cool breeze blowing.
