    Moved to Fayette county from Western N.Y.S. Have spotty wifi, no cell phone signal at the house, and...I love it! People are friendly, its quiet, no one bothers me and the scenery is gorgeous. What more can a simple man like me ask for?

    WV has some of the prettiest views anywhere. You caught it at a good time.

    If my memory serves me correctly, we all tried to smack our paddles against pillow rock as we got ripped past it. Such a beautiful place. Love that bridge, love that river and loved that sky. Wow. This is my favorite one from you yet. Beer looked great, that Mothman one sounded awesome. Love me some local legends.

      How fun! I’m glad you got to go rafting there, too, it’s such a once-in-lifetime experience! And I love local legends too! Like my whole road trip is about beer in the outdoors, someone ought to do a road trip about paranormal things. There’s so much out there!

    Your 40% from your goal of all 50 States. The pizza looked good at the end. Love the little towns to just walk around & look at some of the shops. When we go camping we always go into a small town & buy something somewhere just to support a local business. One of the coolest ones was a rock shop that had lots of really cool rocks in it.

    • @BeerinBeautifulPlaces

    Mothman sightings were especially common right before natural disasters, including a bridge collapse. And that made people think there may be a connection, but is Mothman trying to warn us?...or bringing the chaos and doom with him?!?!?

      Oh no way! That’s awesome, hope I did your state justice! Although, I have a question- are pepperoni rolls served warm most of the time, or is it more like muffins were they could be warm or room-temperature?

    • @JourneyontheTrail
      @JourneyontheTrail 2 роки тому

      @@BeerinBeautifulPlaces you did a great job…though I actually live in Ohio in a city just across the border from WV. Pepperoni rolls can be either. I prefer them warm but seem to eat them room temperature most the time just due to convenience (getting one while on the road, etc). They are so common in this area that I often forget that they are a local food.

      I’m definitely scared sometimes! It took lots of baby steps to get where I am. Traveling with other people, traveling for shorter periods of time, going to places with a lot of people around… My other piece of advice is to prepare, prepare, prepare as much as possible beforehand and then when you get out there, try your hardest not to think about any thing scary. Even unrealistic things, like ghosts and aliens. Do your worrying ahead of time, in other words. Once you get out there, try thinking happy thoughts only or distract yourself by listening to podcasts, watching movies, etc. Best of luck, my friend. I know it’s so hard, but it’s such a good feeling to feel like you can go wherever you want without having to depend on other people!

    What a coincidence ! 36 degree's where you were, and as I watch this its 36 C here (95f) . Nice river, nice bridge and Beautiful Sun Set. I always have a drink at hand but I'm Diabetic. Love little Markets, always good for a feed and a bit of local knowledge. I assume your still at home? Don't forget your vehicle maintenance, and check your tyres, very important. But you know that.
    So, be careful, have some fun and
    Drink some beer. Might do the same, got a Swan Larger in the fridge calling my name. All the best Bluey

Maddie participates in the most iconic rafting adventure known to the United States, happens upon it some time later when there aren't 67 people perched on pillow rock diving (maybe-clothed) onto the odd creature craft passing by and does or doesn't make reference to the New river being the oldest.. Ever.
