Oh, I took I-64 and the Mountain Parkway going east. The thing is, construction shrank the end of the Parkway to two narrow lanes, and I didn’t want to go through that twice. Hence, on the return trip, it was the country roads until I reached Mt. Sterling, then I-64 the rest of the way.
Another thing I learned on the trip was that most folks in the 606 area code go to bed early — I saw few lights in the windows of the houses I passed.
