I'm planning on being at the beach parking area at Chincoteague, VA at sunrise on the 20th. The easternmost point in Virginia by public roads. From there, will go to Cacapon Resort State Park in WVa to access the northernmost point. After that, south to Danville, Va and the southernmost. Then West to Cumberland Gap, TN where there's a small point that just sticks up into Va.
Sunrise: 0539
Sunset: 2056
Total daylight: 15 Hours 17 Minutes.
It's a lot of slab, not the most interesting but I think that will work in my favor. That or I must be nuts 
Oh, what's the second? That will be for 2022.  |
Dang, reminds me of that PA, NY, CT ride so many years ago...
