man what's wrong with 60 and all the hill jack towns, it's the quickest way to fayetville or summersville as long as you aren't driving up in the middle of the afternoon, or mornings on a weekday. 35 is only a suggestion on most of the road until you get to gauley bridge

Well, I didn't really think it was necessary for me to get a ticket doing 50 in a 35 mph residential zone that stretches for 20-30 miles. Maybe if you made that turn onto 16 to Fayettvile it might be quicker. I just know that where I met this guy (at the 19-60 interchange) had some very "slow going" on much of 60 and it wasn't traffic related (that I remember, but if it was, it was one car going way to slow). On just my motorcycle, then 60-16 or 60-61 is a good path, because I'd get the "twisties" on my way.

Hey! The forecast is turning perfect for this weekend at the New:

I'm scheeming to go! Is the Burnwood Campground pretty easy to find once you're at the north side of the bridge?

I'm not making this either, unfortunately. Call Waterstone and they'll help you out.

Watch out for ticks at the New. I hear they are having a really bad tick season, too. If you take your dog, be sure to clean up the dog poop and don't let him hack anyone's gear.
