And then this past weekend, having to drive my roommate to the airport at 6 a.m. inspired me to seize the day and just keep driving. Completely traversed West Virginia and ended up in DC 15 hours later, it turned out to honestly be one of my favorite insane day drives ever.

Foggy Pennsylvania Ave in Monaca, PA

WV 2 through Weirton passes right through the middle of the old Weirton Steel plant, which is now operates at like 1/6 of its former capacity

The Market St Bridge across the Ohio into Steubenville in the fog

WV 2 through downtown Wheeling

Main St on the south side of Wheeling, with the I-470 bridge in the distance

There is a Hare Krishna temple in the middle of nowhere in Marshall County, WV, viewed here from McCreary's Ridge Rd

U.S. 250, starting to really feel like West by-God Virginia

Yup

U.S. 119 constituting Morgantown's High St

WV 32 descending into the Canaan Valley

U.S. 33 approaching the Seneca Rocks

More U.S. 33

Finally out of the mountains and into the Shenandoah Valley, ridgeline of Massanutten in the background

U.S. 33 through Harrisonburg, VA

Saturday night on I-395 heading into DC

Soup-like fog on PA 160 on the way home Sunday afternoon
