One Fall Monday morning; making deliveries. I couldn’t help but to notice the trees. The Autumn glory was in it’s fullest. The beauty the unmasks.

Our starting point was Morgantown, WV. Ideally; This is a two day roadtrip/loop . Drive towards Summersville, WV; plan to start from that area before 9:00am.

#2: Twin Falls Resort State Park

Twin Falls Resort State Park really shines! Its a great park for a day trip. So much to see and do. And the most friendliest folks!

We stayed the night in Twin Falls Resort.

I wish I could recommend a stay. However, I think Pipestem State Park would be a better choice for lodging.

Many towns and geographic locations were named before.

In History, from a timeline perspective; it’s interesting how we became a nation.

In America; “One Nation under God”. The land was tribes and territories. There are many misrepresentations and lost history.

Present-Day: Modern Times. We’ve got roads, cars, and means to travel.

It hadn’t always been this easy.

Throughout History, People made journies. For food, for work, for family. From comfort to unknown; A refuge of safety.

Travel is magical.

Adventure is out there!

Generations before us have endured many hardships. In today’s times; We face different battles than those in history. However, the principles always remain the same. The battle fought is something we take into our own hands. It is a choice.

Onward and upward!

Love the people, for the people.

One Love. One Heart.

Give Thanks and Praise to the Lord.

Let’s get together and feel all right ❤️
