As we continue our journey to the Civil War Site we travel a road first proposed by George Washington in the 1830's. He proposed a road that would connect Virginia to the Ohio River. That spot became Parkersburg, West Virginia. 
What's under those West Virginia Mountains? A lot of it is sheer rock. This was a rock quarry I almost missed because there was part of a mountain in front of it along the road. The photos really do not capture the sheer height of the rock face. 
Of course I had to stop to take a photo of yet another Mail Pouch barn. It literally sat beside the two lane road we were traveling on. The brown and yellow sign you see (click to enlarge) says "fishing allowed - walk in only." There was no parking lot and no place to really get off the road so where you were supposed to park and walk in and carry everything to the creek to fish I don't know. The creek is way down at the end of that field behind the barn. I suppose it could have meant you could only walk into the creek to fish as opposed to putting in a boat. The sign really didn't make the point very clear.I know a lot of people do not blog on weekends so for my faithful readers who have followed my travels I will post the Civil War site and the Indian Burial Mound the first of the week. Tomorrow I will be participating in Camera-Critters Sunday so I hope you will stop by to see what backyard visitors I had this week.
Till then - Happy Trails!
