WILD and WONDERFUL

WEST VIRGINIA - PART 4...MAY 28 2013..


 The saga continues.  We were gone from Monday morning until the following Monday evening.  This blog has sort of been condensed, sort of.

Leaving Pocohontas county we entered Greenbrier County, the first stop being Beartown State Park.  Just prior to entereing the park we stopped at the Old Log Church.  This is acutally a working Church, not just something to look at.

After exploring Beartown we continued, seeing the Locust Bridge built in 1888.  Looked pretty good for an old bridge.  From there we continued to Lewisburg where we detoured, heading east into Virginia.  Just before arriving at Covington we stopped at the Humpback Covered Bridge and Park.  It was well worth the detour.  A beautiful bridge in a beautiful setting.

As we continued we saw a couple more Mail Pouch Barns, two additional covered bridges, more Mail pouch, and, of course a couple more quilt blocks.  Thank goodness they were also much too large to fit in the van.

We saw historical buildings, and visited the Indian Creek covered Bridge.  We had crossed into Monroe County somewhere between the historical and the bridges.

One of the prettier places as the Old Cook's Mill, built in 1797.
A beautiful setting for a mill.  We continued on to Pinacle Rock State Park in Princeton County then on to the town of Bramwell.  What a beautiful old, historical town.

Next stop was Pipe Stem State Park.  We  wanted to ride the incline, but it hadn't opened for the season yet.  Probably was for the best, as it was very cool and windy.  As you can see our days were quite full, we were quite busy, and the trip was fast winding down.  

I trust you had a nice Memorial Day weekend, whichwent by all too fast.  Take care and God Bless.
