Got out of DC and drove to the edge of the Blue Ridge Parkway and spent the night. Early the next morning we started out by driving 50 miles or so of the parkway.
Then we drove into West Virginia on our way to visit Joel, who lives in the Southwestern corner of the state, a major coal mining area. Here is a coal mine:
Out back of Joel's house in Logan.
We went to take a hike with Joel in the state park near Logan and ran into a Pioneer days fest and learned about a Native American vision quests and how to make a good knife blade. After pioneer fest and hiking we purchased some Big Wheels ice cream treats and did a short driving tour of the city. Yum!
We didn't stop here, but we did notice this at a stoplight on the boarder of WV and Kentucky. We were in real Appalachia.
