The National Radio Observatory is there too, at Green Bank, The Cass Scenic Railroad and old preserved logging town (where you can rent the houses--it's a state park), there is a great bike trail along the river, caves, good fishing, incredible views, Watoga State Park...and not too many people.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-25419797265840032292011-05-04T22:18:20.657-04:002011-05-04T22:18:20.657-04:00I have to add Pocahontas County to my list if plac...I have to add Pocahontas County to my list if places to visit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812329358511747697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-78216936702639144582011-05-04T22:10:32.704-04:002011-05-04T22:10:32.704-04:00You know, Laura, our best discoveries happen when ...You know, Laura, our best discoveries happen when we take time to stop, look, and talk. That's when we see things and hear stories we would have missed. I know I pass hundreds of good stories and interesting places every week; it's time that is a problem. I hope I have more of it in the coming years because I have a mental list of places I want to go back to and explore.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-39030262234441097042011-05-04T22:08:05.433-04:002011-05-04T22:08:05.433-04:00Jessica, many of the items in the store are for sa...Jessica, many of the items in the store are for sale. I didn't look too closely because I was way tired after watching the race and the awards in Marlinton--and honestly, this guy was just plain too interesting so we talked more than we shopped. The maple syrup was a good price, though and mighty tasty!Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-69107800995596816972011-05-04T19:29:11.540-04:002011-05-04T19:29:11.540-04:00Oh... how lucky you were to come across all of thi...Oh... how lucky you were to come across all of this!

I hope he makes a go of it.<br /><br />I hope our paths meet somewhere along the way too.

My husband and I have visited "...Hi Granny Sue,<br />My husband and I have visited "Sharps Country Store" on a few occasions. What a gem! We love the original counters and shelving. What caught our eye at first was the dummy hanging from the barn as if the ladder slid. I never knew about the cabin out back. It's been quit a few years since we've been down that way. Probably before the siding was removed and maybe before this generation inherited the store. Thanks for sharing. Love the size of those logs and the staircase. We both seem to have the same taste in things. I'm sure we'll meet up someday because the same attractions seem to attract us both. Love your blog. Wishing you the best on your retirement!WVSimplicitynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-56053163439466583482011-05-04T11:03:37.725-04:002011-05-04T11:03:37.725-04:00What a nice piece of history to visit..I would hav...What a nice piece of history to visit..I would have enjoyed that visit too!Gingerbreadshouse7https://www.blogger.com/profile/01285484153508538882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-83446764850075451922011-05-04T07:14:04.120-04:002011-05-04T07:14:04.120-04:00I am glad you all like this place.

The owner has much work to do, certainly, and I wish him well. It will be quite an undertaking to get it back to the condition it was probably once in, but if he can do it, what a gift to the rest of us. There is also a 300-acre farm too. Lots of work.<br /><br />Nance, when you come you be sure to let me know. We have got to get together.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-5408381157487778922011-05-04T03:56:43.264-04:002011-05-04T03:56:43.264-04:00I am so jealous! :) The stairs are exactly like...I am so jealous! :) The stairs are exactly like what is in my Great Grandparent's farmhouse, which was built about the time of the civil war.

I love that car, the store but more! I love the cabin, the big logs, the fire place, the kitchen and yes, maybe most of all, the stairway! Well, I just plain admire the whole thing. I'll be out in a year or two to visit.Nancenoreply@blogger.com
