Great sense of humor! <br /><br />I can realate to both his books about the Appalachian Trail and the one about driving around the US in that old car. (I've hiked a couple hundred miles of the AT and also drove across the US pulling a travel trailer). <br /><br />The New River Gorge is my favorite hiking area in the state. I have a "geocache" hidden there. LOT's of people have found my "cache" there. (it's a virtual cache because it's on park service land). I require "finders" to take a picture of themselves and post it on the web. I hope to set up the rig and operate from there sometime. <br /><br />In October (I think the 12th thru the 17th?) I will be operating as "N8A" for the North American QRP CW Club (NAQCC). <br /><br />This would be a good place to transmit for an afternoon.Jspikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14751088160139882564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3156518320909350372.post-30005849444579636872009-09-21T02:04:23.032-07:002009-09-21T02:04:23.032-07:00Those little critters look nasty!

The open spaces in America constantly amaze me. As Bill Bryson has pointed out before, Britian is terribly cramped. There are a few open places: especially up North and of course in Scotland. I am starting to feel the pull towards places more open and wild like that as I get a little older. I know practically nothing about West Virginia and am interested to hear you talk about it. That old river and 60 miles of walks sounds idyllic. I used to live in the Tamar valley, a river separating the counties of Devon and Cornwall. It was exceptionally beautiful in every season and in all weather. Bye for now, AdamAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14482212895344445359noreply@blogger.com
