We picked him up and headed over to the Bleckley Exhibition Coal Mine. We'd heard it is well-worth the price of admission, but as luck would have it, the exhibit is closed because it's not possible to social distance inside the mine. We checked out the museum instead. Then, we traveled on down the road.
We found lunch in Hinton, a neat little town on the New River, and home to an interesting looking railroad museum. We got to look in the window; the lady who runs it is 92 years old and has decided not to open it right now. Can't blame her.
A few miles further along the river, we wound up at Sandstone Falls. Definitely worth the drive. We accessed lovely views of the Falls from a boardwalk. Fortunately, I had brought my necessary gear along on this trip: camera, remote shutter release, tripod, and ND6 filter. I just love creating this silky water look!
From Sandstone, we reversed our route to travel to Pipestem Resort State Park. We jumped on the aerial tram and descended to river level on the Bluestone River. Talk about a deep drop! It was a long way down.
What a pleasant final day in West Virginia! We've thoroughly enjoyed mentally unwinding on these winding mountain roads. Tomorrow we pack up and head south. Hiawassee is calling us.
