I start my day with one last stop in Blair county/Morrisons Cove: Martinsburg a somewhat generic town
... with a fancy brand new clock set up in front of a shabby, run down furniture at the central intersection.
I don't tarry for long, continuing on past the farms towards my next mountain ridge a few miles away. An Amish woman in a buggy waves as she passes... A big sign reads "Morrisons Cove, A Great Place to Live and Work"
The declining population here tells another story though...
