We packed up the car for the last time and hit the road. We pointed James to John Harmons going away party and started the drive. It is going to be a nice cap on the end of this journey, and Jason's vacation.
Jason drove the first leg and we switched out over lunch. The roads were very congested due to the fourth of July. As we were driving through summersville we noticed long lines of cars to get gas. People were waiting for over an hour for fuel. Being completely disconnected from the real world we had no idea what was going on. We eventually pulled over and asked what was going on.
Last night there was a massive storm system that pushed through West Virginia that involved tornados. The power was out in the entire state and the only places to get gas are those with a generator. We had a quarter tank of gas and decided to put all of our chips into Weston. According to the internet they had power there.
Don't believe everything you read on the internet. There are eight gas stations in Weston and only one had power. We waited in line for gas which took about 45 minutes with the gas light on and 20 miles left in the tank.
When we pulled up to the tank there was a bull dike of a girl wearing an 'enjoy vagina' shirt emulating the coke a cola logo. First she realizes she has to pre-pay, then relearn how to use a gas pump only to wait all that time for 4 gallons of gas. Stupid girl.
Get me out of West Virginia. The entire electrical grid is down and some places will not have power for 4-10 days.
We ended up at John Harmons party around 7pm. we made a heafty attempt to kill the rest of the tequilla to no avail, ended our night back in Jeannette in our own bed.
What an awesome adventure.
