For what it's worth, I'm originally from Florida . . when the lakes were crystal clear water with white sand bottoms, when dunes lined the oceans, and they spoke English.

Lately, I'm from Arizona.

Recommend a book called West Virginia Waterfalls, which has information on most of the major ones, though I've discovered a few un-named ones myself (not hard to do). One of them is in a gorge and I haven't figured out exactly how to get to it, yet. And in a way, that's what West Virginia is like . . the last placed called America.

So anyway, start with that book, and it gets you up and running on where things are. Although, there's a particular with the author I disagree with, as he states all the roads end in West Virginia. My initial explorations agreed that assessment. However, after naming a few waterfalls for myself, and standing in a place where a river ran clear to the Gulf of Mexico on my left, and to my right it ran to the Atlantic, I realized this isn't any end of a road, but a beginning. Here is one of Earth's cradles of life. Which explains more than anything why there's a constant war to destroy it.

If you come to West Virginia shoot me a PM and I'll help you as best I'm able, at the least I can forward the directions I've been given, "That way is shorter, this way is prettier."

sorry - couldn't get the picture to copy. this comment refers to post #55, bottom right picture of the old dam building along the river.


it's been a little over 25 years since i attended wv tech, but it seems to me that the bottom right picture is along the kanawha somewhere slightly south of montgomery, wv. i've been there before, but the name of the area escapes me at the moment.

Kanawha River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"On the southern edge of Glen Ferris lies the Kanawha Falls public access fishing area that provides the best ground-level view of the Kanawha Falls on the west side of the river. Immediately to the north of the fishing area is the Glen Ferris Hydroelectric station, which formerly produced the electricity to power the village and the coal mine."
