Spring is smiling gently on the Valley...soon she'll be bold enough to burst out in full splendor...but for now the frost and cold have not let loose more...their hold. less

| | | |  | Potomac Eagle
05:12
I'm dedicating this video to Gil and Ann...a West Virginia boy and his bride
On October 27, 2007 my husband and I took the Potomac Eagle scenic train more...from Wappocomo Station (in the video I butcher the pronunciation) in Romney, WV to Petersburg, WV. The Potomac Eagle takes you on a 52 mile ride along the south branch of the Potomac River, a portion of which which passes through The Trough, an 8 mile stretch of narrow mountain valley.
"You have entered a sacred place, the eastern home of our magnificent national symbol, the American Bald Eagle. These majestic birds soar high above in their natural habitat, undisturbed by the low rumblings of the occasional train and the passengers who have come for a sighting. Don't be surprised to see these superb flyers swooping overhead in pursuit of prey or gliding gently across the blue mountain skies as if to flaunt their supremacy of the air."
We not only saw eagles, Red Tail Hawks, many deer, and a Blue Heron soaring above the river, we also pass by magnificent historic homes which date from the revolutionary and civil war era.
......there was just too much to include in a 5 minute video so I'll just post some of the highlights as well as I can and highly recommend this experience to anyone who may think they're remotely interested in a scenic train ride!

03:26
We were able to take some time and go camping last week. While we were there I captured a couple of critter encounters. The squirrel had tried snitching more...an entire jar of almonds from our picnic table....the deer we ran across while hiking. The doe made it clear to us we were encroaching on her territory while the buck was supremely indifferent. less

|  | Scenic Byways ~ Midland Trail
02:54
Recently my cousin and I had a few days free so we decided to take a road trip to visit family in KY. One of our goals was to drive only designated National more...Scenic Byways as much as we possibly could so we drove the Midland Trail, Route 60, beginning at White Sulpher Springs, WV and ending at Louisville, Ky. This video contains only a few of the many scenic stops we made along the way. If you'd like to find the scenic byways in your area search www.byways.org and take time to enjoy the ride!

|  | Commercial Memories Pt 1
08:54
Recently I found a website containing very early commercials under public domain. After watching nothing but old commercials for well over an hour I realized more...I enjoyed them more than I do most current television shows. The digital quality isn't the best but, as they say, the content is priceless. I've put together a compilation of a few and I hope you enjoy them, too. less
