Here we are in the Appalachian mountains, and it's raining again. What a lovely spot it would be if the sun was out and the sky was blue. We travelled half an hour and stopped at the New River Gorge visitor centre. We watched a short movie for some info. about the area. Over the years there has been a lot of coal mining, and once the railway was built there was an influx of people from around the world. The new bridge was built in 1977, and at 876 feet it is the third largest in the country. Apparently, it takes 45 seconds to cross, before the bridge it took 45 minutes.
We continued on and early afternoon it got warmer and the sun peeped thru, by the time we arrived in South Carolina, and my brother Jon's place it was sunny and 23. We all had a nice dinner and stayed up chatting until almost midnight.
