So… yea… haven’t posted in forever, but this is the easiest way to post all the pictures of my trip with as much explanation as I want.  Some pictures are just for the pretty drive…. others have something behind them.

I went on a trip to WV with all these crazy people- the Richmond, IN and Richmond, VA Star chapters.  See Donny Moose up on the bear? he came too.

It’s becoming a tradition that dad & I ride together and hang out with the clubs up there each summer.  Dad & Me relaxing after the ride

So… first view- either VA or WV mountains along route 219 somewhere south of I-64…

Pretty mountain roads…

Covered bridge… though I think you can figure that out on your own…

More mountains

Neat old building

Distant mountains

Elf house!  Not sure what it really is, but that’s what I think of it…

Bikes at the inn- right set (yep- too many to get in one picture!)  3rd one from the left is dads

Panning left (you can see my car in both…)  this is the front entrance

Bikes – left set

The inn is called the Brazen Head Inn- this is the signature glasswork…

Another view of all the bikes

Ok- enough bikes….   in this one- look at the barn in the background- looks like there is a guy dangling out the door   creative decorating!  nice old car too

Wildflowers- much of the greyish is actually lavender colored wildflowers

Closer view of flowers

View from an overlook- looking DOWN on the clouds

another view from the same overlook

took a short (1/4 mile) walk to see some neat rocks- there were pretty trees too perfect day for a walk!

Honeycomb rocks are a lattice of hematite filled with sandstone.  Erosion wears away the sandstone, leaving only the hematite grid behind- so cool!

Closer view of the rock

After growing up in California, I still love how green it can get in the summer- so- gratuitous pretty greenery!  I just love it!

I-64 somewhere in WV- look at those hills I drove!

Closer to home- this is about 15 miles north of home, to give people an idea of the mountains I live in

After somewhere around 600 miles in three days- it’s my exit!

Fun trip, but glad to be home!
