Day 1, Thursday May 9th – Departed 114 Buffie Road on the big trip west. Drove on I64 west to Huntington, WV.  Overnighted in a Marriott Delta hotel a block from the Ohio River.  Walked to a park on the river and several blocks to our favorite restaurant, the Bahnhof.  Had a pretzel the size of my head to start and some excellent bratwurst.
