June 3rd Still in West Virginia

Today was a short day relatively:  all told 210 miles- from Beckley WVA to Morgantown WVA.

I had scheduled two stops for Coal Heritage Historical Area, but Whipple Store was closed, and we had a bad address for the Area HQ.

Next, we did get to the Canyon Rim VC for the tri parks that make up the National Parks of Southern West Virginia:  Gauley River, Bluestone National Scenic River, and New River Gorge National River.  The New River Gorge Bridge is there as well- that is the famous bridge that allows BASE jumpers one day a year of freedom to jump.

Did 6 new counties for West Virginia today, Nicholas, Braxton, Lewis, Harrison, Marion, and Monogahalia! 

Tomorrow is one of our shortest days, just 65 miles up to Pittsburgh for our first baseball game- it's a 4 pm.  Have to figure out where to park for the game too.
