I remember a thread last year where some posters gave us some great places to visit in the state. I'm retired now and plan on doing some traveling. Any of you veer's have some sites I would be impressed with? Pictures and links would be appreciated.....Thanks

If you are just into sitting inside on your cell phone all day, it's probably not where you want to be. But it's some of the most beautiful places you will ever see.

New river gorge bridge is almost 1,000 ft high. They close it once a year and hold base jumping from it. Unfortunately it's a couple hours south of Morgantown. I haven't lived in my home state in almost 30 years but its beautiful to just cruise thru. Wish it was later in the fall when the leaves change so you all could see it

Oh yeah, the Greenbrier, where they had the bunker for the Prez and both houses of Congress.

That would be cool if you could go in there.

Can you? Anybody?

Harpers Ferry is great small town to visit w/ some fun outdoor activities. Originally from Charleston, but this is one of my favorite areas in the state.

Being in the DC metro, WV is a short hike away. Typically his Snowshoe at least once during the winter. Harpers Ferry is a nice day. If you're up to it, there is some ridiculous white water rafting on the Gauley river.

Lotta open spaces...

Haha! Hillbilly Hotdogs is the sh*t! It is located outside of an armpit called Barboursville - there is nothing there other than a humongous soccer complex that hosts Kohl's Cup. I take my soccer team there every year to play and we take the kids to Hillbilly Dogs after the tournament - great place with lots of bizarre "ambience." Good luck Sooners. Let's Go Mountaineers!
