Thank you for the tour of parts of West Virginia. Thurman seemed very interesting. We would love to get to West Virginia one of these days. My family settled there after the Revolutionary War. Specifically in Lewisburg, WV where my many greats grandfather is a part of the walking tour.

Grew up in WV. Beautiful state! On the second Saturday in October the state shuts down 2 lanes crossing the new river bridg 25:44 e for “bridge day”. Folks that are adventurous (or foolish) skydive from the bridge into the canyon below. Quite a spectacle!

We read about that Bridge Day. Would be something to see for sure! Don’t think we would ever be one of the “adventurous” jumpers. 😂

youall need to take a white water raft trip and see the bridge from the river its great or just drive down the river road to the underside of the bridge the view is spectacular.

Howdy Guys! Wow really great video. So green there. That bridge was crazy 😜 I am just like you Michelle I white knuckle on twisty narrow roads. Such a pretty area though! Thanks for a great video AGAIN 💛Be Safe.

Love WV. Hawks Nest St Park is our favorite.

I love how you guys find unique historical places. Love the music you choose for your videos. I can’t wait till the next one.😊

Your content is so far and above anyone posting RV videos . Your videos are part of my Sunday morning breakfast. I look forward to your post , which are amazing.

Thankful to be a West Virginian! Glad that yall enjoyed New River Gorge National Park!

Glad you guys got to visit our beautiful state.

Look forward every week for your videos...

Brian we love you! you always make us laugh, but it is good to see Michelle smile and talk more.

Thanks for the tour of the ghost town! Now, we don't need to visit! Safe travels. ❤❤

We left Fl. about 8 weeks ago for a trip to Maine and back. Along the way we stopped at the New River Gorge also. We stayed at Summerville Lake Resort campground which wasn’t far from New River Gorge bridge state park. A cold front had come through so the bugs were not a problem when we were there. It sure was a pretty place. We’re enjoying your videos. Thanks for information on the Grech Ion.

WV is one of our most beautiful states. I feel you Michelle. My husband is from WV and when he took me back 48 years ago we road those narrow roads high in the mountains. For a person scared of heights it was frightening 😬🫣. I was definitely on edge. We go back a couple times a year and love the state, but those roads are still scary!! We took a good friend up there a couple months ago and gave him the experience of the narrow curvy roads. You did good!! Hope you and your mom had a great Mother’s Day! And Brian….Happy Father’s Day! Love your video!

My husband was a union structural ironworker in his profession, working mostly on West Virginia river bridges and power plants construction projects. It is for the feint of heart……💙 WV is a beautiful state when it comes to their well maintained state parks. A big fan anyway, but an exceptional video today, Brian. Thank you.

New River Gorge is on our list! Thanks for taking us along.

Tarmarak is spectacular. Did you know you can make a glass blown piece without an appointment? For our anniversary we choose to each make a tumbler. They came out so colorful and beautiful great keepsake, other options were a ornament ball or paperweights. They had woodworkers you could observe and so many museum quality items. My husband was very interested in some of these pieces. Plus there is a whole art gallery. We purchase many hand crafted items. We also enjoyed touring a coal mine and village with a retired coal miner. We didn’t linger much in Thurmon….we did more of the spectacular vistas. Too bad you got all those bugs. We were there last sept. Water was clear and sparkles which was nice but not raging like you saw. That would have been interesting. We spent a whole week there. Beautiful area, your video has me wanting to go back.

Wish we could have. We were here about about a month ago. We’ve been gathering as much content as we could so that I could have something to edit every week while we are back visiting family and friends on the weekends. We had to get back for Mother’s Day. Things will catch up here soon.

Glad you enjoyed the area. I’ve been to the New River Gorge many times since the 80s for whitewater rafting, Bridge Day, and just visiting. There is a trail from the visitor center to take 200 steps down to a side on view of the bridge. A bit of a climb back up. You can also do a catwalk tour under the bridge, strapped in for safety! There is also a 1 yay road down to the river and up the other side although it would be tight going for a large van. Thurmond may still be a put in for rafting, imagine a school bus on that road. The Amtrak Cardinal runs through the gorge 3 times a week. I think Thurmond is still a flag stop. I watched it go by once from the Hawks Nest overlook, just west of the national park boundary. PS: Bridge Day in October, opens the bridge for BASE jumping and you can walk across it to watch them jump or pay for a down under tour and watch them try to land alongside the river!

Love your videos,some of the places you have traveled we were just recently at, love how you have added a little history of where you are at

I love seeing all the places you go..❤

You are on what we West Virginians call a thirdly road which is almost a cow path. If you are going to travel in WV, expect to be on such roads. There are some such roads when you go around a curve, you must honk your horn to let someone coming in the opposite direction that you are coming around the curve. Glad you visited Thurmand. The bridge crosses New River, one of the oldest rivers in the world.

West Virginia is Beautiful and that bridge had spectacular views!

Mountains are beautiful! Michelle's yep on that curvy road was pitiful! Didn't realize a new National Park was added. Thanks for letting us know!

Great Video. I love VA. My Mom was born and raised in Clifton Forge, VA. Very close to West VA boarder on route you were on. I saw a sign as you were driving to W. Virginia that said Covention, it's right in that neck of the woods. Beautiful part of the US. I have very fun memories of family trips to see my Grandparents and Aunts & Uncles. Loved seeing all your stops and great historical info. That Apple butter is the best!

Great video! Beautiful country.

As beautiful as that gorge drive is, I would be glad to get to a larger city. Something struck me as kind of eerie. Have a nice visit with family! ❤

Somewhat surprised you didn't go through the Hinton WV area. It is an old railroad town which still has an active railroad, a railroad museum, a nice downtown with antique stores, a couple shops and restaurants, etc. You pass through Hinton on the way to Sandstone Falls which is also in New River Gorge National Park. There is a nice little boardwalk which takes you to the falls area. This year is Hinton's 150th birthday and there will be a railroad festival held in October.

Another great video 😊x

Totally giggling in the first 7 minutes! I do that to my husband when he takes to long doing anything(act like I'm sleeping). Good thing Michelle can multi-task as your "assistant" ;) lol "Yellow Cheddar", say that 3 times! lol Great video guys! #seeyanextweek !

Heading that way(w Va , Va, Ky, Tn .) in two weeks, first have to get to Michigan from Florida.

Was on vacation last week so I am late on commenting. I totally get having to skip sites or activities due to time. I just went to Calgary, Banff and Canmore Alberta in the Sprinter van all the way from MO. Such a long drive but worth it. Always love the videos and used some of your advice on our trip. Good ol Cracker Barrel. Saved me after a 10 hour drive from Montana to Sioux Falls SD.

As a transplanted WV girl, I loved seeing all the beautiful sights, made me homesick. Did you drive any "kiss-your-butt" turns? The last job that I had in WV before we moved I traveled the roads of our beautiful state quite a bit. Nothing like driving those country roads in the fall with all the beautiful leaves that are red, yellow and orange. Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River!

The entire road was not scary, it was the narrow parts of the road especially the areas with the houses and wall right at the side of the road with nowhere to pull over when there is oncoming traffic that hugs the middle, especially when you are driving a larger vehicle. As mentioned in this video. Bridge day looks interesting but you wouldn’t catch us jumping off the bridge. 😂 The fall colors would be beautiful.

If your looking for a day hike and scenery Blackwater falls in Davis and Twin Falls has good paths and nice views especially during fall when the leaves change. Old style architecture: you can visit Harper Ferry for 19th century or go to Moundsville and visit Grave Creek and see artifacts and "buildings" from I think it was 200 BC. There's also Berkley Springs which have natural hot springs the run a constant 80 degrees year round. Supposedly a bath the George Washington used to visit often. They also have private old school bath houses and saunas there as well. Excellent luxurious spas there with renowned masseuses as well.
