Our 45th Anniversaty Trip to Elkins,WV

[AngliaGT]

Put almost 500 miles on the "M" car.Took a lot of back roads.Saw Seneca Rocks,
Blackwater Falls,& took a train ride on the New Tygart Flyer.
Found a few more INCREDIBLE driving roads,& not a lot of traffic.The weather
was good,overall.
Also went to Cass,WV,where they have a steam engine ride on the oldest surviving
Shay locomotive.Didn't ride it,& didn't get any pictures.

Superb scenery and great shots, Doug. Thanks for putting them up.

Any info on that dish receiver? Talk about anachronistic...

That fold in the bedrock is really cool.

Love the shots! Blackwater Falls - I've been there but when I was a wee lad! Looks like you have a great trip - congratulations!

That fold in the bedrock is really cool.

I was thinking the same thing. Really illustrates the power of mother Earth.

Reminds me of listening to a Park Ranger with a geology degree talking to our group in Yosemite. He told us that the top of Mt. Everest is limestone. Limestone is formed at the bottom of oceans.

Doug - how was the train ride?

It was nice.It was four hours (round trip)up to the waterfall (High Falls of Cheat).
It was interesting trying to walk to the Buffet Car while it was under way.

That was Devils Back Rock.There was a sign on the flagpole,so I walked over to it
to see what it said.It said "Devils Back Rock".
