We continued our drive north on the scenic Seneca Trail Route 219) alternating between mountain roads with 7% and 8% grades and hairpin turns with beautiful lush farming valleys. Along the way, we spotted this great old former general store that is now an antiques store. Begun by his grandfather in 1884, family still runs the general store with a great sense of humor as an antiques store.

At the end of the scenic area of the drive (Elkins, WV, for those following closely, ahem) we decided we could use a tourist time-out and checked out possible golfcourses. Our first choice, a Pete Dye course that was built upon reclaimed coal mining land was not open to the public, so we looked further north and found a nice course in Morgantown, near the border of Pennsylvanian, south of Pittsburgh.

We found a campground less than 10 miles away in a quiet forested area, but then the rains came and they have been having a lot of rain in the area recently, so golf tomorrow morning is questionable as Jack cannot play if cartpath only.
