We awoke to the sound of rain on the metal rooftop that was reminiscent of the house I grew up in Pennsylvania. The sound was very comforting to me but was a bit noisy for Earline. We had breakfast and the Earl brought over his two granddaughters for a sewing lesson by Earline. We discovered that Earline is a great aunt and that makes me a great uncle!
Following the sewing lessons, we all assembled to travel to the New River Gorge National River. This national river preserve has the western hemisphere’s longest and third highest single span arch bridge. The New River is also one of the great white water rafting areas.
This area was home to West Virginia’s coal mining industry as the coal veins were revealed on the sides of the gorge.
