    As a born West Virginian, I can testify to the beauty of this state. Almost Heaven is the state moto but it is a historical wonderland for the industrial revolution in the United States. The people for the most part are poor in money but rich in tradition and love for the land. I am a proud West Virginia Mountaineer. Thanks for the video.

    I came down the same road you went up from Sandstone Falls a few weeks ago. I was working on a cell tower up on the mountain and we took our lunch break at the falls when we finished.

    09:51 That tree trunk was completely blocking the trail when I was out there about month before you guys. I had to turn around and go back because of it, and take the long way to Thurmond. Glad to see it's been cleared!

    I grew up in Oak Hill (‘77-‘85) and I used to spend a lot of time in the Gorge as well as Thurmond. I remember watching the progress of the bridge during our trips from VA to WV before we moved to Oak Hill and I was at each bridge day from the first one to 1984.
    I found McKendree road by accident several years ago when I visited there with my oldest daughter. Great ride in the Jeep. Also a great place for berry picking.
    Cheers!

    Absolutely enjoyed it! My Dad, who was born and raised in a little town called Spruce, always talked about the New River. Spruce is NE of where you were and since been abandoned. Thanks for showing us this neat area. It's on my bucket list. Was thinking of going over when SMOR was supposed to be but apparently not happening this year. And Mom (AKA Deb) the goat is home!

    The NRG is great! I travel there a few times a year for Mtn biking, climbing, rafting and general exploring. Mckendree is great. You hit it at the perfect time of year. It’s a real bummer that there aren’t more dispersed camping areas though.

      Thank you. We typically just decide on an area and research the roads or trails using GaiaGPS. Yes, to many lives we're lost there. The real tragedy was the fact that they all died slowly from silica dust exposure.
