June 9 - Climb the rocks




Weekends are the busy times here so the locals take off Mondays through Wednesdays. Instead of spending time in the Discovery Center we have had to hang out at the local trading store. The boys love the place because the ice creams are good and they were able to purchase rubber band guns – target practice continues throughout the day. There is a fun shortcut through to the store from the campground.

The locals have commented that the weather is unseasonably hot and humid. As a result the hike up Seneca Rocks (900ft elevation gain) was quite a challenge. Afternoon naps are a necessity!
It seems like the Eastern side of West Virginia is wild and mostly untamed. Traveling on the back roads takes one past the occasional farmhouse and fields. The first harvest of hay is being cut at the moment.
