April 21,2009 From Beckley wv.
No internet today. left wytheville, va about 10:30 am heading to beckley wv up hwy 77. At start 333 miles on trip meter. weather was cold with rain showers. Hwy 77 is through the mountains. Very hilly. Lots of good mountain scenery.Very ineresting how spring is comming to the mountains. Different sides of the hills have very different stages of green, depending on the directon they face. Arived at Beckley Demonstration Mine exhibit about 1:00 Miles at 415. Trip slow because of mountaain climbs. No problems though.
From the store(check-in area) to campground VERY VERY interesting. One lane road very steep with accending 90 degree turn in middle. Litle rain shower made road slick, made it alittle dicey to get up. tomorow i will ry to get some photos to post.
