West Virginia


Monday we arrived at Robert Craig COE Park at usual time, around noon, came in the recommended way, not my shortcut that I used last year, the road surface was better but there were just as many curves and hills.
The air card does not work here we have a strong signal but evidently Alltel doesn’t handle data here.

Tuesday we had to find a Post Office so we road over the hill to Keyser, will be going back the end of the week to pickup the mail.

Friday, we made 2 trips to Keyser today, 1st to do laundry, post office, Wal-Mart and when leaving Wal-Mart the air wasn’t coming out the air vents so stopped by the Ford place, they said they could look at it at 1:00. so we went back over the mountain and 2nd trip we came back at 1:00, it was some kind of vacuum switch which they didn’t have in stock, so will get it fixed at next Ford dealer down the road or next week or the next.
You can tell it is Friday there have been only about 6 max. sites occupied all week until now and now ¾ of the 80 plus sites are occupied.

Saturday, July 14, 2007, beautiful day

Monday, July 16, 2007, We have arrived at Bulltown COE Campground on Burnsville Lake in central WV close to ???? it took a little longer today because of the back roads and there aren’t ant straight roads in WV. Sue said it took a lot longer (7 hours).
Saw a funny sign that someone had borrowed and affixed it to their garage it said “Orlando” and on the next line it said “Disney land left lane””
We have full hookups here but no cell phone, satellite, no TV, but we have running water, sewer & electric.

Wednesday, we rode to Sutton which is about 10 miles away to do the laundry, ops the laundry is closed on Wednesday, toured the dam for Sutton lake and stopped by Kroger’s also stopped along the way to use someone’s Internet connection.

Thursday, July 19, 2007 We have met a same aged couple camped across the way George & Cora, she grew up in Sutton and lived up on the mountain, as a kid she it took her an hour to walk off the mountain to school and an hour and a half to walk home until the eight grade. This evening we are dining here Cora in making a pot of brown beans and I am cooking corn bread.

Friday, July 20, 2007 Weir in downtown Sutton, WV doing laundry and there is a comunity WiFi connection.
