A unplanned drive in the mountains

I left work early today with the intent to drive South and make it for J's son's Bday in Georgia.  Unfortunately, I hit traffic everywhere and when I say everywhere, I mean the middle of nowhere, not in the cities where I expected it.  I'm already going on less sleep than optimal, so by the time I was only about 2 hours from the house and I had been in traffic for over 4 hours, I exited and drove west.  Ended up in Morgantown, WV where I found a hotel.  I spent the weekend wandering through the mountains of WV and VA, dodged some rain showers, drove a little of the Blue Ridge Parkway, and spent some time hiking near the Peaks of Otter and the James River.  Not the same as getting to see J and fam, but a spontaneous and welcome diversion!
