The New River Area

We when on a last minute tour with Trisha on here last full day in West Virginia. We made a big loop from Charleston up past Montgomery, then through Gauley Bridge and up to Fayetteville. We dropped across 'The Bridge' to the visitors center and ate our picnic lunch. Then we drove back through Beckley, drove by Beckley ARH where Amy is working now, and off to Grandview. We then passed back through Beckley, stopped and the Tamarack, and down I-64 and back to Charleston.

Here are some of the pictures from Trisha's camera...

A waterfall at Gauley Bridge. This is a fun place to stop.

(Here is the lat long for you local people... 38.153607,-81.180164) Here are the kids jumping from rock to rock up to the waterfall. It is only like 200 or 250 feet from parking to the waterfall. But you gotta watch were you are doing. It is easy to fall. Some lady walking by me was looking up at the falls and not where she was stepping. Down she went in to the water, bloodied her knee and everything.

This is a shot of Amy and I at The Bridge.
It was a fun, but long day. Trisha got to see some of the cool stuff here close in West Virgina. We even had time to make a Chocolate Cheese Pie when we got home.
