I simply love living in the Appalachian Mountains. Skyscrapers and busy streets are nice but for me nothing beats a long winding road and a great view of the New River Gorge as seen here from the Hawks Nest State Park overlook in Fayette County West Virginia. It’s a place where you can look down on the valley and watch birds soaring peacefully through the canyon. Occasionally you hear the long droning of a train horn as it crosses the river. I have it on good authority that kids would jump the train in certain spots and catch a free ride up the mountain. Not something that’s recommended today but a couple of generations ago things like this would be common.
In the Early 80s I would see people hangliding from the canyon rim and today we have zip lining tours close by.
I believe that there’s plenty of adventures still left in these hills. Who knows what tomorrow’s trend will bring? Perhaps I’ll ride a drone up river and photograph from angles I can only dream of at the moment.
Be at peace tonight friends and dream of new adventures.

Beautiful picture. The next adventure is as soon as you step out the door, bring some more pictures when you go.

I do consider myself very fortunate indeed. If you ever do make it back you have to give me a “haller”.

My main problem with where I live right now is that it is not picturesque at all.
