One quiet, rural ridge top parking spot next to the garage. Easy pull on, pull off. No amenities, just a quiet place to park, sleep, eat, and walk the dog or cat without being bothered. Only one mile off the I470 Wheeling bypass, so easy access for through travelers. There is a Park and Ride at the interstate exit with an entrance on Kirkwood Heights, the same road as this spot. We are 120 miles from Columbus, OH, 45 minutes from Washington, PA, 1 1/2 hours from Pittsburgh, 5 miles from St Clairsville, OH, 3 miles from Wheeling Island, WV. There are large truck stops 20 miles west at Morristown, OH and east at Dallas Pike, WV. Our road gets little traffic during the night, picks up about 6-7am a little and again 3-6pm. The milk truck goes by twice per day and my nephews drive farm equipment past, otherwise no trucks.

I love a road trip but can't take one often I live through videos of those who do. My husband and I traveled Route 66 for our honeymoon in 2004 with a van and a tent and came back across the Rockies. He now has dementia. I work full time as a nursing instructor. One of our adult children is still at home. It occurred to me that we have a nice, big, quiet roadside parking spot on a rural ridge top just a mile off the I470 bypass that I would not mind sharing with a tired traveler.
