Fall is slow in showing itself even in the higher elevations of southeastern West Virginia where we visited last week.
Here's the Greenbriar River near Lewisburg.
There's an 80 mile rail trail along the river. We were near the southern end.
Lots of leaves underfoot but coming off the trees before coloring up.
When it started to rain we returned to the car and went for a drive. GPS took us the shortest way which was a one lane paved road that became crush and run gravel then just gravel and dirt. Then the GPS decided it didn't know where we were. The two track lane with weeds growing in the middle was disappearing in front of us. With a careful turn around we retrace our steps.
This church, unnamed, was along that road.
...fall color has been hit and miss this year.
ReplyDeleteA nice section of the country. GPS - so much for that modern convenience.
ReplyDeleteThey say that Fall Colors in the Smokies are running 2-3 weeks late this year ---and if we do get any, most will be 'dull'.... Kinda Sad since so many of us LOVE Fall.
ReplyDeleteWe have stayed at Lewisburg several times.... Hope you rode the train to the top of the mountain at the Cass Railroad near Lewisburg.... We LOVE West VA.
Hugs,
Betsy
yes I thought there would be more autumn colour in that area but your images are lovely anyway. Have a great week ahead
ReplyDeleteEven in the rain the colors came through! We love roads like that, the ones that Peter out eventually. The trick is to intuit where the last safe turn around is -- before you pass it!
