We have an ambitious plan for today. It's out last day in West Virginia so we're looking to pack in everything else we wanted to do that we didn't do already.
...Wait, leaving West Virginia? you might ask. Wasn't the whole plan of this trip to visit West Virginia?
It was, when we initially planned this trip 6 months ago. But then more recently when we started planning out specific things we wanted to do we found that WV wasn't quite as rich in them as we'd initially thought... and that North Carolina is. So today we're driving to North Carolina, after finishing up here in West Virginia.
Like I said, we've got ambitious plans for today. We'll start with a self-guided tour of the New River Gorge Bridge. That's been on my to-do list since reading about it in a Civil Engineering class in college decades ago! Then we'll finish up some unfinished hiking business here in WV, with Twin Falls State Park. If there's time after that we'll hike a falls in Virginia. ...Yes, Virginia, because to drive to Brevard, North Carolina we have to drive through 4 states: West Virginia, Virginia, Tennessee, and North Carolina.
It's going to be a long day. Time to get going!
