West Virginia at a glance

We wish we had more time to explore beautiful West Virginia, but unfortunately we only have one day…so we went to see the New River Gorge Bridge and explored some of the trails near where we are staying in Camp Creek. Even though we are pretty much past the season change, driving the tree-covered hills at a leisurely pace in 70-degree sunny weather was perfect. By the way the second New River bridge photo was taken by my lovely wife…Apparently there is nothing she cannot do well… West Virginia holds a special place in my heart, because it was where my grandfather settled immediately after immigrating from Italy in the early 1900s. He worked as a lumberjack for awhile here before moving on to Detroit.
