Our friends Heidi and Colin gave us the grand tour of Wild and Wonderful WV today! Well, not the whole state, but surrounding towns and ski resorts. We live in such a beautiful state! Every direction I looked today, there were huge mountains around me. It was a beautiful day...sunny blue skies, and not too chilly either!
We first went to a fire tower, similar to a lighthouse in height, but this is where people would look our for forest fires during summer months. We climbed it, and took some great pictures of the mountains. After the fire tower climb, we stopped on the side of the road to see some windmills. Our friend told us that the tips of the windmills go 180 mph! We then drove to Canaan Valley, a ski town, and hiked a small mountain to a beautiful overlook of the valley. We hiked about 2 miles, and then took a detour off the trail into bushes and brush to get to the overlook. I'm not much into hiking, especially when you're not on a trail, and you're fighting bushes, but it was totally worth it!We got to see the beautiful mountains that surround Canaan Valley...it was incredible! After the hike, we grabbed lunch out at a local place. We then drove around the mountain side, and took pictures of some of the beautiful nature around.

It was really neat to see God's incredible creation! It definitely gave me a better appreciation for the state we live in!
