June 10 - Top of West Virginia


Spruce Knob is the highest point in West Virginia. At approx 4800 ft. We went up early hoping to get a good haze free view but alas there is too much moisture in the air. We had to imagine seeing Pennsylvania to the north and Virginia to the east. The spruce branches grow towards the east due to the prevailing winds. It is so much cooler up at that elevation.

We have decided to stay an extra night here at our campsite – it is just so peaceful! And we found wireless internet.

Hi Janet,
Thanks so much for taking the time to blog your trip - we are really enjoying the vicarious experience! I've only been out east a couple of times, and all I can say is, good luck waiting for haze-free days. We're spoiled out here in that way.
