Unfortunately we were already past the turnoff by the time we read your comment, that and the fact that the weather really wasn't conducive to doing it as it was cold, a little wet and just not the most pleasant. We will definitely have to try and remember this the next time we come through the area.

We hiked the new river gorge. If you read please consider Follow the river by Alexander Thom. It is historical fiction based on fact. Out hiking guide told us about the book.

WesRock bought out the old Westvaco bleached board mill in Covington, VA (I retired from their research and law depts. here in Charleston, SC.).
