The Voyage of the Cacafuego

a trip across america, summer 2008

August 10 – WV, MD, and home

Well, I had us up and out of the campground by ten of eight on Sunday morning, and we drove through Kentucky without much happening.

We switched drivers a few times, and finally made it to West Virginia.

West Virginia for some reason is actually larger than Maryland (OMGWTF), so we drove in WV for a few hours (four and a half, according to the time stamps).

Then we entered Maryland! Hooray!

We hit a bit of traffic, and took a sneaky detour, and two hours after crossing the Maryland line we finally had our first hint of home.

We made jokes the whole time about finding a place to camp and what we would have for dinner tonight and har har aren’t we hilarious?!

The answer is yes.

We got home, emptied the trailer into the garage, emptied the van into the living room, and promptly went our separte ways. Thank goodness. Dinner was a casual affair, and we all went to bed in our own beds finally, after 33 days on the road.

Except mom had to go sleep on the couch downstairs to shut the cat up who couldn’t quite believe we were home.

  1. It’s been said that if you took a steam roller to WV, it would be the largest state in the union. (sorry I can’t write that with a twang).
