This part of West Virginia is gouged with gorges. The countryside folds into canyons that would make Arizona proud, though their sides are covered with relatively new growth forest. The New River is magnificent. We can understand why brother Andrew feels it is great place for rafting and getting away from it all. We went all the way down to the bottom of the canyon, to where boats are launched, down winding roads, some gravel only. Then we had lunch at the Hawks Nest Lodge, and Ben found his XXX-skim cappucino at Blue Smoke in Ansted. Tonight we look forward to a good dinner and tomorrow back to the bosom of friends and family in Pittsburgh before we return to Washington.
Dinner was at a Turkish owned restaurant, Razans. There was nothing on the menu that would indicate at Turkish woman owned it. However the salads were good and we had for company a German couple who were visiting the inn at the same time as us.
