It’s been seven years since we visited my hometown of Fairmont, WV so we used the 80th Birthday Party of my cousin’s wife (Ruth) as a good reason to go. It’s a 450 mile and 7½ hour (plus stops) trip on interstate (I-40, I-81, I-77, I-79) and divided highway (US-19) for the entire trip so pretty easy driving. This is our trip plan:
