Also these left over rail tracks are dangerous to animals, they break legs on them -<br />horses, deer and cattle. The shorter legged varieties not so much. Money, money and more money just lying there. One must wonder? <br />That cow actually said it all.<br />Again a great blog photo, Careletta - should make viewers think!<br />Colin (Brisane.Australia)Colinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651794525042598507.post-77991796029459744372012-06-16T00:41:26.409-04:002012-06-16T00:41:26.409-04:00That cow doesn't like you taking her picture (...That cow doesn't like you taking her picture (but I sure liked seeing it).

However, when I said these were in the middle of nowhere they are miles from anything other than deep wooded areas. There is nothing of true scenic value to draw people. It would not be financially feasible to create a trail in this particular area.Carlettahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11178161514195582965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651794525042598507.post-10115646818609409982012-06-15T20:53:57.874-04:002012-06-15T20:53:57.874-04:00Hi Carletta, There are lots of those abandoned ra...Hi Carletta, There are lots of those abandoned railroad tracks not only in West VA --but other nearby states. I do know that some communities have turned old railroad tracks like that into hiking and biking trails... All of us humans need to walk alot more than we do---and anywhere counties or communities can add walking paths is a GOOD THING...<br /><br />Have a great weekend.<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8651794525042598507.post-23510925556724561102012-06-15T20:04:50.879-04:002012-06-15T20:04:50.879-04:00Cow shots are ALWAYS good.
