West Virginia DayHappy 145 Anniversary
(June 20, 1863 - June 20, 2008)
That first photo was taken going up the mountain. As you descend on the other side Saddle Mountain is visible from a scenic overlook. The mountain is at 1,775 feet elevation above sea level. Awesome! The next two photos I zoomed in a little each time to give you a better view. 
I hope you liked your visit today to the Wild and Wonderful West Virginia Mountains!For more Skywatch Friday participants please visit Tom at Welcome to Wiggers World.

Beautiful.
Liked your background music as well as I liked the photos.
I sure did enjoy the visit, it is such a beautiful part of the world
My ex-husband drove an 18 wheeler, and I have cross crossed West Virginia many times. I have been at that scenic lookout and seen this view. Looking at your photograph brought back the sense of peace and awe I left while standing there.
Happy Birthday West Virginia.

beautiful place, excellent.
What a beautiful area you live in, and your photos are great!
We used to spend a lot of time in West Virginia when we were camping and doing nature photography on a regular basis. Just can’t seem to get back into the photography. Motivation seems to be gone, but I think it will get better after I have a knee replacement. Beautiful area. Loved the photos.
Happy Birthday!!! :)
I loved the trip and the song.
Beautiful!
Loved the shots, my hubby was born in W. Virginia?We went back there a few yrs ago, i loved the scenery but oh my the humidity was horrible
I will have to tell him about the Birthday.

Carletta: Those are great mountain views, very nicely done for SWF. Happy WV Day to you and your state.
I loved my visit to the West Virginia mountains! Thank you for taking me there.
These were beautiful shots! I enjoy seeing all these places I've heard of but never been to.
Happy Birthday W. VA!! Don't you just wonder how this happened? The mountain?
Last time in W. VA mountains was in 1977, at night, driving from MI to NC. Too long to stay away...
Beautiful photos Carletta :)
Beautiful shots, and one of my favorite songs and singers!
Beautiful clouds and those mountains! Thanks for sharing.
I really did enjoy my visit. Simply beautiful views you showed us!
A truely beautiful part of the Old U.S.A.
Beautiful! And love how you put the songs on to match the posts-very neat.
nice picture. I love the smooth curve of the mountains
Thank you very much for the virtual trip to West Virginia Mountains.
West Virginia looks "generous" I mean concerning space. Funny that curve right in the middle!
And so green! Wouldn't it be a little rainy?
Anyway, it looks immense and restful.
They're wonderful indeed! Loved the pics!
Happy Birthday West Virginia. The pictures are great.
A nice series of photos of a very beautiful place.
Isn't this lovely!
Those are beautiful shots! Thanks for sharing! My very "first" entry is up as well. Hope to see you there!
