Blackwater Falls



We are now in West Virginia - gorgeous countryside with scenic vistas at every turn. Don't know how anyone that suffers from motion sickness could live here with all the steep hills, ups and downs, twisting "S" curves and switchbacks - no such thing as a straight road in WV! An adventure in the motor home! Our first stop was at Blackwater Falls State Park, in the northeast section near the Maryland border. We rode our bikes all around the area and hiked to scenic lookouts. The falls are "root beer" colored from the tannins in the water from red spruce and hemlock needles that have fallen from the trees.
