Road Trip West Virginia

59 this morning, about 15C. Raining.

Looking back to our trip across West Virginia a few weeks ago.

In Elkins, a statue of Henry Gassaway Davis, one of the founders of the town.


Also in Elkins, I think this is supposed to be Sacajawea. 

View from my son's front porch.


And from his driveway.


Unfinished bridge on Corridor H, a highway meant to open up some of West Virginia's most mountainous regions. One of these pillars was defective and had to be replaced,  slowing down the project. 


Somewhere along the way.


Outside of Westinghouse, this church has been converted to a home.



In the tiny community of Cox's Mill.

  1. I recall Sue once reading Sacajawea. It was a very long book, but I think I was reading other things at the time, or just wasn’t interested.

  3. Lovely to see what you viewed, at your son's home as well as on the way. Hope the bridge is completed eventually, and is safe!

  7. Thank you so much for the virtual tour of a part of the world I love and seldom get to see. So beautiful. Even if the roads make me sweat and grip the wheel too hard.

  8. The church converted to a home has undergone a nice evolution. Sometimes one sees a church that has become a home but still looks so much like a church that I'd be surprised if some Sunday mornings out-of-town folks wander in.
