It was an exciting trip to say the least. Here are some highlights of the trip:
The Joseph homestead in Paradise, WV.
Ripping around the local roads in a VW bus:
Matt Checking out the huge dent he put in bus trying to drive across a small lake.
Building a bonfire with help of a propane torch:
Some local scenery:
We went on a bike ride. It turned out the reason the trail said "hiking only" was not because they didnt want bicycles on the trail, but because it was highly unadvisable to try to ride a bike on the side of a cliff.
This was a really sweet restaurant we went to. Inside it contained the only partial vegetarian menu in WV.
People in West Virginia seem to have problems throwing things out. This is the inside of an old General Store on Matts property that closed in the early 50's.
More Driving around in a Vanagon:
Matt contemplates the state of the rally car:
We took a nice walk down a "holler" that is also Matt's practice stage.
Matt in his element: listening to some crappy AM station from Denver... just because he can!
