Almost Heaven

I was down in West Virginia last weekend. It's been a pretty wet summer here, out east, and last weekend was no exception. We were up on the mountain looking at a couple of new caves when the storm came in.

The rain, however set the stage for a wonderful sunset. We were just south of Seneca Rocks, watching the sun set through a similar gap in the mountain, with the clouds and mists flowing through the gap and in the valley beyond. I'll have to post a picture up soon.

West Virginia is the second most beautiful place I have been, right after the Scottish Highlands. After that, my ratings get muddy. If you haven't been to the area near Seneca Rocks, you should go. See the local commercial caves, hike to the top of the rocks, go to the top of the mountain. The views are stunning.

Be prepared, however, it seems that the special in nearly every restaurant is a hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. Speciality food is hard to come by.
