Greenbrier River Trail

Spent the last couple of days in Virginia Beach, went to see Willie Nelson in concert and visit with my niece. I like VA Beach lots to do, great restaurants and beach side activities. When driving back yesterday though I was very happy to cross the state line back into West Virginia and again into Pocahontas County to the cooler temperatures and low humidity. Of course our activities are different here nearly everything and anything to do outside. The Greenbrier River Trail for example, just named in the top 10 things to do in USA today, is 78 miles of rail trails on the Greenbrier River, where stopping for a dip in the river or casting a line to catch dinner is a great way for the family to spend the day. If you haven't spent a family vacation in Pocahontas County now is the time. The Raven Golf Course at Snowshoe offers a challenging day of Golf! Have a great day!

Sumemr In West Virginia

Here we are in late July and before we know it students and teachers will be back in school. As I am thinking of my summers as a kid here in West Virginia and crossing the bridge in Marlinton I see floating/walking down the Greenbrier River made me ache for those innocent days with family and friends! So of course I took a picture and want to share with you. You know how it goes one thing leads to another as the sun warmed me and my heart and back to 5 weeks ago when I was dipping my grandchildren in the Elk River down at Whitaker Falls. Their back in Florida now but wishing they were here, my daughter says I don't want to know the temperature or humidity as I try to tell her. 80 degrees and 18% humidity with a breeze. And again that got me to thinking about asking you a question. Does great temperatures, lazy afternoons and cool rivers sound good? If so call me and ask for the family discount to rent and condominum, home or cabin in the mountains of West Virginia, spend time in Pocahontas County even enjoy a festival weekend at Snowshoe Mountain Resort!!
