After the rain ended, the weather was nearly perfect. My neck is a little redder. I should have stopped to reapply the sunscreen. 

I tried to make more stops today. With today's late start I realized that I won't make it to Philly tomorrow night. That will ease the pressure to put in large distance days. Maybe I'll roll a little further south and ride some of the Blue Ridge Parkway. 

On the west side of clarksburg I had been trying to keep near the speed limit of 65 but the scoot wasn't liking it at all.    When I pulled into West Union to get gas I saw the check engine light wink at me. I did a quick check of oil and coolant. Both looked good. I didn't hear any abnormal sounds or vibration so I decided to proceed. After that, I followed a personal speed limit of 60mph. The traffic was light and the cars and trucks had no problem getting around me. I didn't see the engine light come on again so I think were ok. 

I climbed a few mountains today. Those roads are fun. The locals drive so fast on these twisty roads. I thought I was going pretty quick for being on unfamiliar roads but there was a minivan on my tail all the way up and down the mountain. 

I'm staying in the Blackwater Falls campground. I love it. This is what I was hoping to see. Three deer passed within 100 yards of where I put up the tent. Time to study the map and plan for tomorrow.
