Today started out great! We checked out of the resort with 5 minutes to spare before a $50 late fine. We headed west, back toward Kansas.
After a couple of hours we had lunch which took longer than expected. Since Mom was driving when we passed the New River Gorge visitors center at Sandridge, we stopped to look around and get our National Parks passports stamped.
Those two things, and needing gas, prompted a stop in Beckley, WV. We all visited the Youth Museum of Southern West Virginia, and Hans and Dad took the underground tour of a coal mine.
Instead of driving on to Charleston and setting up camp in the dark, we opted to camp in Beckley. Tomorrow we will have about 90 more minutes of driving, but we hope to be able to hit the Children's Museum in Charleston if we get going early enough in addition to Mammoth Cave.
Today has ended up great, too, just with Plan B instead of Plan A.
