We made it to West Virginia and to our camp site at Rifrafter by New River Gorge.
Tuesday, October 14 we hiked the Endless Wall Trail. It was a chilly and foggy morning when we started.
So very foggy! Could not see anything. The gorge is somewhere below...
A ladder going down into the gorge.
Nope - didn't go down!
You can just make out New River through the fog.

The Endless Wall
Wednesday, October 15, we hiked the Long Point Trail. Again, a foggy chilly morning!
We got to the point, and decided to sit, eat an apple and wait for the fog to lift.

The dark ridge is the Endless Wall.
After that hike we went on a short hike at the Burnwood Trail. The trees in this forest had not been logged and so were about 350 years old. A nice peaceful hike.
I love how the roots of this tree are reaching over the rock to the ground below.
From this trail, we rode to the Sandstone Falls - an hour away through very winding roads and very small towns.
Then we took the hour long ride back to Tito and Beauty. Then went out for dinner. The places we ate in Fayette over the days were Secret Sandwhich Society, Pies and Pints, and Tequila Taco Bar. They were all very good, but our favorite was Tequila Taco Bar.
Thursday morning we packed up and headed to Shenandoah.
