West VA Covered Bridges

 





This one was off the beaten path as they say ... and not in the big parts (cities or towns) of West VA ... I'm seeing double (funny how so many bridges can start to look similar or have bits that are just so similar but not??! odd.) ... after looking at all the covered bridges, so many to pick from ... WOW!!! What was so kind a man (so many folks would just run on through, but he made a point to give us a chance to grab the photo, before he drove through) who lived a while passed this bridge took the time for us to take a picture ... so KIND!! I love kind humans. so COOL!! 









Philippi Covered Bridge 


Now I know we visited this bridge years ago ...but for some reason it looked more sad this time ... worn ...where as the last time it was more happy ...so maybe it has been recently painted back then or whatnot???!! A must see for sure ... it is a busy bridge ...so cool.








Indian Creek Covered Bridge (I think so? it doesn't show the sizing in any pics so I am wondering if I have the correct bridge?? not sure.)



When in West VA back in end of Sept beginning of October 2024 ... we saw these beauties. so PRETTY!!! What fun. Are there covered bridges you hope to see ... get out there at see them asap, always a blast. Hope you are well. Take care this week. Beth ( ;

Loved seeing these covered bridges, thanks for driving around and finding them. I used to do the same, but only know of one in North Carolina, which I happened upon when lost in a strange forest northeast of Charlotte, which I can't figure out how to spell.

I’ve been to the Philippi bridge a couple of times. One time the nearby museum was open and they had pictures of a severe flood that had occurred there. A double covered bridge like that is rare.

Bar U Ranch National Historical Site, Alberta, Canada

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get ...

This post is in memory of my friend: Tina Forrester aka. "CameraGirl". She and her husband were lost this week in a tragic car accident. Here is her bloggy link if you would like to see her outstanding photography: "East Gwillimbury CameraGirl, Exploring Central Ontario (CANADA) ... and beyond" . We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...

New River Trail State Park, VA

  New River Trail State Park, Virginia "New River Trail State Park is a 57.7 mile rail trail and state park located entirely in southwest VA, extending from the trail's northeastern terminus in Pulaski to its southern terminus in Galax, with a 5.5 mile spur from Fries Junction on the mail trail to Fries" Hey there, we took this trip early Sept 2024 end of August. Look at those gorgeous clouds, such fun days, several of them I could have taken a flannel but didn't and really was chilly at multiple spots on the trails, and when you arrived at the sunny parts I really had a chance to soak in the sun. So warm at those moments. Meet some great folks along the way, chatting about this or that. Meeting biking folks is always fun. There are several restroom stops along the way, no clue how or where they decide to put them but they are there for the important bathroom moments. So it wasn't too long ago. ... gorgeous temperatures. 3 total days, didn't take the whole tra...
