Visiting family in West Virginia

We're taking a few days to visit John's sister and brother-in-law (Sue and Frank) in West Virginia.  On the way we stopped at New River Gorge Bridge.  It is the 3rd largest arch bridge and the 5th highest vehicular bridge in the world.  This Saturday is Bridge Day.  Every year they close the bridge to traffic and allow people to rappel, BASE jump, or high line off the bridge. Only trained people can rappel or BASE jump (parachute), but anyone can pay to high line.  It seems similar to ziplining.  Thousands of people come to watch. 

Frank and Sue live on a back road surrounded by a babbling brook, deer, and beautiful trees.  A gorgeous place to take a walk!  We need to spend a few days fixing up some things.  John has already fixed some wiring problems on the dolly.  Plus we get free laundry!
