After driving through West Virginia today, I have to add WINDING Roads to their slogan too! Up, down and around curves we went! Gazing at hills/mountains full of trees and periodic valleys full of farms and old barns! :)
Here's a couple of the old barns I captured today in WV.
Yes, I do take some photos through the car window.
On the map I had highlighted Beartown State Park in West Virginia. I couldn't remember what we would see there and since it was 20+ miles off the beaten path, I Googled it last night. It was a cloudy and cool day 50-60's temps. It felt good to put on a sweatshirt at the park and we were the only ones there. Here is what we saw, another example of nature's treasures.
A boardwalk went under and over and around these formations of rock.
It was like a rain forest in there and moss, lichen and ferns growing on rock and trees everywhere.
And finally, on this photo, I was not holding my camera crooked.
After we left this and THEN looked at my itinerary and I had this spot listed and I found it my book, "Off the Beaten Path." How lucky can we get?
We waved 'good-bye' to West Virginia and said 'hello' to Kentucky who's motto is "Unbridled Spirit.'
We are staying tonight near Lexington, "Horse Capital of the World." Going to explore more of Kentucky tomorrow. I don't think we need to get "unbridled," we are full of spirit as it is!
