SFO Airport - Fri, 15 Sep 2023. 10pm
Tonight Hawk and I are at SFO airport, embarking on a week long trip to the east coast. Our flight leaves a few minutes before midnight and will arrive about 5 hours later in Charlotte, North Carolina. Once at CLT we'll rent a car and drive north across the foothills of North Carolina, across the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and into West Virginia. Why West Virginia? In two words: bucket list.
Three years ago Congress designated a new national park, New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia. It went onto our list right away. Now we're getting to it.
Ladies and gentlemen, as you get buckled into your seats, sit back, relax, and get ready with your buckets.

They Moved My Bucket!
Oh, I've been to West Virginia before. Visiting the state is not the bucket list item I'm traveling to fulfill. I ticked that bucket list item years ago! The bucket list at play here is Visiting all US national parks. And that's a neverending odyssey because they keep moving my bucket!Three years ago Congress designated a new national park, New River Gorge National Park and Preserve in West Virginia.
