Heading into day two of drive to Boone NC, home of the NC BMW Danl Boone MC Rally.  Yesterday was high maintainance picking up K&N Filter, new GPS and generally getting out of PA.   All interstate to Cumberland MD where I was stopped by a series of thunderstorms.   Finally gave up and pulled in here aht the Cumberland Motel.

The maps and a couple friends suggest that 220 s will take me thru the mountains and make a 400 mile 8 hr day of this.   Will chalk it up to a good time and hope for lots of pics.

Am planning a 'dawn's early light' start with yummy breakfast from Sheetz.   Will keep you posted.
