I doubt that a whole lot of the people here have spent much time in Poca county that wasn't skiing at Snowshoe. Maybe this TR will entice some of you to make the trip during other times of the year,because it is by far my favorite part of WV. Hiking, mountain biking, paddling, etc etc etc- Pocahontas and Tucker county are both awesome.
My GF and I met one of my good friends at Watoga state park for a couple days of relaxing by a warm fire and taking in some views via a couple different hikes. We got rained on Friday night/Saturday morning, but by Saturday afternoon the skies were clearing and today the weather was absolutely beautiful.
First off, the players:
EC, in my favorite hat:
Sheri, the woman who puts up with EC:
My friend Rob, about to annihilate a marshmallow:
Now, the whip:
Rob brought his parents stove, circa 1980. This thing goes way back, but still functions fine:
Saturday morning started off with a hike down Jesse's Cove trail. There was still mist on the water of the Greenbrier river, and still some color on the trees...
Then the view from the firetower at the top:
Greenbrier river:
Our next visit took us to Beartown State Park. It doesn't sound like much: just a boardwalk through a bunch of broken down sandstone. However, the rock formations are very cool, and the boardwalk is a nice little piece of architecture in itself:
