Or Sunday-Monday-Tuesday, or the like.  Beverly is not a great consumer of
time...it's out and back on a fairly fast road.  There are two stations of
note along the way, including the one at the end of the line.  I just did
this one in April, so it's fresh!

But Parkersburg AND Marietta city routes added to the interurban means
that Parkersburg - Marietta - Beverly (yes Marietta was in the middle of
the line, not the end), makes for a full day if not more.

Can we consider an O'Dark-30 departure from Washington for Fairmount,
put one to two days on that, then drive over to Parkersburg or Marietta
for the night, and put in a full day there, then come home?  Sounds like
Friday-Saturday-Sunday?
