Greetings from Alderson, WV!

Much to our surprise, there's a bit 0f unsupervised wi-fi 100 yards away from our location, so I thought we should make the most of it and drop a post or two while we still have a signal. We've completed our first day of mission work - painting a home for Elmo Davis, and cleaning out a B & B used by vistors to the local minimum-security prison for women. An added bonus was stumbling upon the site made famous by the John Henry legend (the Steeldriving Man). Very cool!

Photos to come once yours truly has had a chance to catch up on some sleep and hit the showers. Our trip here took a bit longer than anticipated due to "Build an ark, Noah" conditions. Try driving a 15-passenger van in the hills of West Virginia after seeing a semi making use of a runaway truck ramp!
