| We took a long weekend and spent some time in a cabin in West Virginia. We celebrated Jen's birthday and enjoyed some quarantine friendly travel. |
 |
| They had some arcade games... |
 |
| ... and air hockey table... |
 |
| ... and a hot tub. |
 |
| Some time at the fire pit, making pudgie pies and roasting marshmallows. |
 |
| Driving up and down the mountains of West Virginia was a real experience. At one point we charged the battery of our hybrid up to 20% just by coasting down the mountain. That should be enough energy to go another 5 miles on level roads. |
 |
| The windy mountain roads tend to cause some motion sickness. A brief stop at an overlook, is great preventative medicine. |
 |
| Our first big adventure was spelunking or cave exploring. We had a guide take us through, but here Clark and Grant take the lead with map and compass. |
 |
| Before |
 |
| Stop for lunch to get some pepperoni rolls- a WV classic |
 |
| We went to Green Bank Observatory. We didn't get many pictures since all electronic devices are forbidden on the campus. The equipment is highly sensitive to any electrical fields. Even cars have to be Diesel- since there are no spark plugs. They have a number of radio wave satellites pointed into space. The satellite in the background of this photos has a surface area greater than 2 acres- massive. |
 |
| We visited Beartown State Park- full of fascinating geological features, which can get your imagination going. No actual bears. |
 |
| Our last adventure was a short section of the Greenbrier River trail, which included the Droop Mountain Tunnel |
