jackie4737 has pulled the sidestand up and is underway.
Better than Sheetz or WaWa!

So far the No Interstate / No major roads plan is working out fine. Lots of it lane and a half, even single lane roads, all paved.

An early start! Finally.

I'm an idiot. Again, the GoPro was in "shoot photos" mode and not video mode so I got no video. 

I have seriously got to practice this more often so I don't make these beginner mistakes any more, or just put on my @$#!@#$# glasses.

So it looks like my GPS flaked out and is also missing some of the track. I think you're right, it's a case of maxed out storage, at least that's my best guess.

Virginia Mapping Trip Tracks

GPS tracks of our trip from my GPS. It randomly turned itself off at one point and it did not seem to have an accurate mileage count.

Despite including the archived GPX files it seems some sections are missing notably going right at the fork out of Fort Lewis Lodge.

My GPS only tracked 1650 miles but I swear it must have been over 2000. I think Wayne's hypothesis that the GPS flakes out when storage is full might be correct.

I thought I took a photo of the odometer before I left but apparently I did not. Oh well. I'm guessing something like 2040 miles for the trip. We'll see what the tracks have to say when I upload them.

I delayed it as long as I reasonably could:

Arrived safely at McGinty’s well before the kitchen closed.

My shoulder feels a little tweaked but otherwise I seem to be holding up well.

The ride back was fast and uneventful. Even around DC the weather is pleasant.

And I keep wondering,”What’s that smell?” Must be the smell of adventure.

Jackie and I worked our way along the Virginia / West Virginia border from Berkeley Springs, WV to Tazewell, VA. Some highway, some GPS routing, and some spontaneous. We’ve arrived and checked in to The Old Jail.
