In late April, we boondocked at the Devil’s Anse trailhead of the Hatfield McCoy Trails in Matewan, West Virginia. We were there for four days. That’s a lot of dog walks around town. These were some of the things that I saw while moseyin’ around.

I watched a documentary about the coal miners recently. It included a lot of info on the Matewan massacre. Blood on the Mountain is what I think it was called. There’s so much tragedy in that beautiful state.
Thanks! 🙂
Even the highways through the mountains are pretty nice in WV. If you’ve got to make tracks on the bike the interstates save for 81 aren’t so bad.

I just watched the trailer and now want to see the whole movie- thanks for the tip.
Country Roads by John Denver has always been one of my favorite songs.
Very nice photos! I especially like the train station.
Always love your pics. I passed through WV on my way to Ohio this weekend.
Thanks! 🙂
