On the trail of the lonesome pine…

Virginia skies

A good trip to the rolling mountains of Appalachia last week making the rounds of Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Many miles covered of back roads through a beautiful part of the country. A few nights camping until rains arrived then dry Super 8 motels accommodated the rest.

Gooney Creek campground

A pleasant sounding tributary of the Shenandoah River accompanied one night. Warm campfire added to the scene.

New River Gorge

The landscape is stunning due to the great topography. The tree blanketed hills were splendid through the coal mining areas of the Alleghenies. Though damp with rain and drizzle it was so verdant with fresh spring foliage.

Ohio north by northwest

Cutting diagonally through the buckeye state gave us many enjoyable miles of rural roads through forest and across farmland.
