Wytheville, Virginia. Day two.

The pace has slowed a bit of late!  Either that, or we have just got a bit slack at getting going.  But as it doesn't matter too much, - hey ho.
We made a quick detour to visit Wytheville, VA after leaving our campsite of the last two days.




Wytheville is not a big town and doesn't have much going for it, except that it has a quaint charm about it.  Yet it is a county town, also has some historical significance.  Some of the towns and cities we have been through have been so big, that you can't really get a feel for them.
Not here.  You feel as if you could walk around it, have a coffee here, meet some friends, and pop into the library while you're in town, - and still be home for lunch.

Another BIG bike!

Our next campsite was just a few miles away from the last one.  In fact we only drove 22 miles yesterday!
We took a dip in the swimming pool, and saw eagles flying overhead.  Beautiful.  Peaceful.  Relaxing.
And then we watched an out-of-date B&W cowboy film on DVD.  We thought we were going to educate ourselves about Daniel Boone, an early explorer/settler in the region.  What we saw was a corny, hilarious, 1957 black & white film with some very poor acting!  We laughed all night long.


But the scenery has changed from mountainous, and forests, to rolling Virginian farmland.


We like Virginia.
