This week, we cross through three states - exit Pennsylvania, cross West Virginia and enter Ohio. The jaunt through West Virginia takes you directly through Wheeling. Billing itself as the friendly city, Wheeling is 55 miles from Pittsburgh and 120 miles from Columbus. If you would like to see their state parks, they offer a link at Wheeling State Park Webcam. There is also a map available online of Wheeling's Popular Places.
Barnesville, Ohio, is the final destination passed through this week. Their website indicates that they are where history meets progress. They have a week long pumpkin festival each fall and are working on a Rail's-to-Trails project in their community to create recreational trails in the area. They also have a historical marker for the Watt Car and Wheel Company, which started in Barnesville and was moved to Washington, PA after being purchased. The historical markers are a state initiative started in 1953 for Ohio's sesquicentennial.
