You are such a trooper!

Loved your video thanks.

The drive from North Carolina to Ohio on I77 through Virginia and West Virginia turnpike is one of my favorite drives in the country.

take me home

I'm from Philippihnes, Someday I will visit West Virginia.. heard it from songs and movies.. This should be bucketlist of everyone outside U.S

There's a clip of Dad's cousin Governor Cecil Underwood in the 50s where he's promoting the idea of turning abandoned coal mines into museums and tourist attractions. Well! And it's funny the way he says "many Americans have never seen a coal mine"! Like, what? Never seen a coal mine!?‽😂
And he goes on, there should be several of these for the world to see. Well!

Watching in Australia🇦🇺

I grew up 5 minutes from the overlook on the gorge you were at. It's a beautiful state for sure. Glad you enjoyed it.

I want to thank you for this ride. It brought back wonderful memories. I grew up in West Virginia & traveled route 52 many, many times. I no longer live in WV so this was a nice ride. Thanks again. Have a safe trip to PA.

66 miles a day is not a road trip..It is a casual walk along the road..

Good video! Bad drivers everywhere!! I love West Virginia❤

Excellent video.👍👍
West Virginia is the only state I have never visited, I plan on fixing that in Spring next year as the first road trip of retirement.🫡 After that I'll be starting in the Desert Southwest and taking a little more time at it.😁

Country road take me home ❤ russ one love!! Strait from Jamaica biggup ur urself.

Love wv. That's my home away from home love those mountains

The only thing bad about wv is not much work nowadays

Bluefield isn't a good representation of our state try keystone right up the road and see how you like it, it was on the way to Welch WV they called it little neh York during the coal days and the vines on buildings are called kudzu it is a plant killer

I grew up there in the 60's and 70's. Lots of Fishing, camping, hard Work, Mountain environment, loved it. When I got older there I had to leave for economic reasons but I have always missed those years of fun. It would be a great place to live if there were jobs. I Miss Home.

Your laugh is really funny 😅
I like it !

I have was raised in Fayetteville WV have live here in the state all my life, was just a kid and got to watch them from a distance while building that bridge.

The New River Gorge Bridge is made of COR-TEN steel, which is a type of weathering steel. This type of steel is designed to develop a rust-like protective layer when exposed to the elements, eliminating the need for painting and allowing it to blend with the surrounding environment

What a beautiful West Virginia

Love the narration. Very warm

all them atvs ? the hatfield and mcory atv trail is down that way

Commentary RUINEDE this video.

The old stone building in ITMANN was built by Pocahontas Coal Company and served as a "company store" and office building. It was built by Italian stone masons. Architect Alex Mahood designed the building. He designed many "coal boom town" buildings. Ritter Lumber Company shipped 200 ready built "company" houses to ITMANN on N&W railway. Ritter Lumber was well known through WVA and VA. MY grandfather was employed by them in the1920s as a "scout." Ritter purchased timber land and cut the trees for lumber. It was a big business. 125,000 TONS of coal in one year (1919) was a LOT of coal for one town, ITMANN led the county (Wyoming County, WVA) in coal production that year. But remember, ALL coal, freight and passenger trains were powered by steam engines that used by coal boilers, not "diesel" engines that replaced them in the 1950s. Diesel and cheap oil from the Middle East was the real death of coal. It isn't so cheap now, is it.

I remember crossing East River Mountain well before there was ever a tunnel. You just go up one side of the mountain, then down the other side. Lived in Bluefield, WVA in 1959 and 1960. It was a lovely town with beautiful homes that King Coal and the railroad built. Both my grandfather and father worked for N&W Railroad, Norfolk and Western.

RVer, FYI, It's not a native vine, it's called kudzu and it was imported from Japan to hold the soil in steep, rocky areas. Well, it is a choking noxious weed and it will eventually take over everything in SW VA and WVA.

That means 178 steps walking back, I got in me. Ha ha ha ha ha.

Remarkable tour.😊❤😊

You have to be close to the same age as I am because you say ‘cool’ and ‘neat’ way too often. 😂 I’m thinking of moving to WV to save money and I appreciate the trip through the state.

WELCOME

Part of my childhood was spent in WV as that is where my parents are from. Still have family there. Don't get back there as often as I'd like due to mobility issues.

You are in Hatfield and McCoy trail ATV system. Not all of WV has trails like that.

i drive over that bridge every weekend and plan on driving over it tommorow again
