Canaan Valley

Glad to arrive at our first location, Canaan.  Stopped to see wind turbines had no idea they were so huge!!! We calculated wind speed those things were moving over 100 mph.  We drove for about 3 hours through the roads of West Virginia.  We found a small park to stop for a few minutes and the rest rooms were locked and/or destroyed.  I think that is so sad that people enjoy destroying others property.   I am ready to learn a lot about coal and WV.  I like the use of the mountains for some wind turbine farms, but i would hate them all to be covered with the turbines.  This wouldn't happen anyway due to the wind speeds that the turbines require to be profitable.  It would be even better if WV's power bills could be lowered in some way.  Right now I don't think that is how it actually works, may have to look into this!



Drove through Canaan Valley & Timberline Ski Resorts.  Wow the mountains look very different in the summer than they do in the winter.  I could totally see the ski slopes without any snow.  Hardly any people compared to the winter.  Still beautiful!  I do love the West Virginia Mountains
