West Virginia, Mountain Mama...

It's the end of Day 1 and we've driven (ahem, Tyler has driven) 555 miles.  We check into our hotel in Beckley, West Virginia, founded in 1838 and with a current population of approximately 17,000.


After a delicious dinner (spaghetti and meatballs; fried oysters), we decide to check out Main Street.  Along the way, we're met with the most intense winds that literally shake the car.  It feels a bit like the Wild West, with garbage flying everywhere.  Needless to say, Main Street is a ghost town, with none of the traffic lights in the city working.  Intense rains come moments later, and I wonder whether a tornado has blown into town...
