We traveled into WV yesterday and stayed at the COE park at Sutton Lake. It was a nice park, but it was about 10 miles off the beaten path. And in WV the beaten path is very hilly and curvy. But it was another day of beautiful foliage.

On our way.....

  Winding our way through the mountains on our way south.  We have been seeing amazing color even when it's raining.  The Green Mountain's in Vermont, The Adirondacks and Catskills in NY, & Appalachian Mountains in PA.

What a Summer

  Once upon a time (long, long ago) we had our home in West Haven, Vermont. 
It was a big house filled with all manor of things.  Big things, small things, old things and new things too.
  One night in Feb. of 2001 our home, with all those things, caught fire. Our big house and all our things (large and small, old and new were gone ..........................................................
......................................................................................................................................
   To make a long story short, we sold the land and held the mortgage.  This turned out to be not such a good idea.  Things happen to people over and time and over time the new owners were unable to meet their payments and we were forced to foreclose. 
   We found that there was a lot of cleaning up to do. 




 


 These are only a few of the areas we were facing.  And, yes, those are cow skulls.  Don't even ask......



So we set about clearing the trash and junk.  Cutting, pulling mowing raking and burning brush.


 



And after many long days and much hard work things are starting to shape up.
