We drove the length and breadth of West Virginia, crossed the eastern Continental Divide, threaded our way through the needle that is Northern Maryland, and drove the entire length of I-68 before arriving starving and exhausted in Gettysburg Pennsylvania, just like Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia. After six states in two days we won’t budge from this one for two days.

We were in the Mountains of Maryland, which having spent all my prior time in southern Maryland made as much sense to me as the Pyramids of Mars until I saw them. Who knew?

The obligatory selfie at a scenic overlook in Maryland. I just got my second post shutdown haircut (third if you count when I took kids scissors to my bangs) so I’m back to the Roman Emperor look. My better half is, as always, my better half including in the looks department.
Sign, sign 
Everywhere a sign 
Blockin’ out the scenery 
Breakin’ my mind 
Do this, don’t do that 
Can’t you read the sign?
Okay, which is it? A true sign of the times.
