The last run was great with some turbulence, but the visibility was wonderful & other planes were not a factor. After one rough bump we lost the screw out of the visor slider on Bev's side. We found the screw and spring but not the nylon washer. We put it back together.
We are staying @ the new Microtel Inn in Marietta, OH, which is just across the river from Parkersburg, WV. We're going to take a walk by the river.
We put a load of laundry in so we can be fresh in our pink flight suits for the big finish tomorrow. Marietta was the first Ohio town established sometime before the civil war.
We expect fog in the morning so we may not get off until 9am, but that means more spectators at the finish line! We are doing great!

From the weather reports, it will be cooler tomorrow in Frederick Maryland, too. (I heard it was 100̊ in Baltimore today.) That will be nice for you and the crowd that gathers to greet you.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hearing about your walk along the Ohio River. My great grandfather may have walked the opposite bank 145 years ago while waiting in Parkersburg for his unit to be transported down the river on their way to Nebraska. Fun to think of how different your historic journey has been.
Best of luck tomorrow on the last leg of the race!
