No room to pass in the woods
|
|
|
Fans hide behind trees in the woods
|
|
|
One ATV problem usually stops several others
|
|
|
A wide path on a hill gave room for passing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The hairpen turns were tough
|
|
|

|
|

On the road again
|
|

A lumber village in the valley
|
|

A small town in the WV mountains
|
|

And a river runs through it
|
|
|

The old boarding house?
|
|
|

The only way to get somewhere quickly in the mountains
|
|
|
|
Take me home country road
|
|
|
|
|
|
The bridge to nowhere?
|
|
|
The castle. I can get home now.
