Day 1: CT-VA

Salem, VA

We're at the Econo Lodge in Salem/Roanoke VA and boy is it great. The front door sticks, the bathroom door doesn't shut, but there's free internet so it evens out. We hit a few good spots today: Hershey for the free tour at Chocolate World, Scranton, The National Civil War Museum in Harrisburg and a Waffle House. We tried to see the Natural Bridge in Virginia on our way to Roanoke but it was pouring rain and we actually had to stop and sit outside a Tobacco shop for a while until things calmed down. We got off the exit in the town where my grandfather was born, and in the end we made it to Roanoke and a Buffalo Wild Wings for Tuesday wing night. All in all it was a good day for leaving at 6 a.m. from Milford. Just about 650 miles from home.
