What a beautiful place. Larry and I have always just driven through West Virginia trying to get somewhere in a hurry and have never taken the time to explore. Our experiences there was staying in the truck travel plaza in the motorhome and also being towed back into Beckley once when the motorhome decided to be "sick". Well, with the help of Tolsons and Parsons we covered a lot of ground and I must say it was fun. The New River Gorge is a must see when you travel through there. We happened to hit it when the trees were in all the different colors and it was great. Having lived in Michigan for so many years and enjoying the color there in the fall it was like being back home again. We visited little towns along the river as well as the railroads, saw coal trains, visited a railroad museum in the town of Hinton, W. Va., had lunch sitting out on a deck right by the river.Once a year around the town of Fayetteville they have "The Bridge Festival". They actually close the bridge over US 19 and let people bungee jump or parachute off the bridge. No thank you. We stayed a day longer than planned still did not get to see all that was recommended so I guess we have to go again sometime. We missed the Coal Miners Exhibition and of course the Tamarack, which is suppose to be a major shopping place but the guys thought we did not need to shop anymore.
Now we are home until next Thursday when we go to the Maryland Samboree.
