Princeton Next

We are leaving Culloden today(Monday)going to Princeton,West Virginia to visit one of Nancy's sisters(Callie). We have had a great time here visiting with Peach and Don. They have treated us so nice and the time has flown by.

Let's Walk

We went for our walk today. Peach and Don joined us for part of the way. They walked 3.1 miles which was great(hope they will keep walking) Nancy and I walked 5.2 which gave us a total of 29.4 for the week. We walk 6 days a week,we rest up on Sundays and go to church. I think we are about to get serious on our walking. It is fun to travel to different places and have different walking areas. Don,Jim and I went to the flea market yesterday. I bought some 12 volt bulbs for the motor home which I always need.

Culloden,West Virginia

Here we are in Culloden. We are parked in Peach and Don's drive way. We are having a nice visit with them. They live in a nice quite neighborhood with friendly people. Peach made a strawberry pie this evening and it was delicious,Yummy.

St. Albans,West Virginia

Well here we are in St. Albans,West Virginia. We are parked in the City Park by the river. There are 4 rv sites with 30 amp electric,picnic table,grill and a dump with fresh water. It is a 2 day maximum stay. These are free sites,they do have a donation box. This is a good place to over night right on the Kanawha river.

The River

Here I am sitting and enjoying the cool breeze on the river bank. There's a coal barge passing along every now and then. Lots of pleasure boating here. There's a strip mall on the other side of the road with KMart,Kroger and some eating places. Did I mention another free night camping? This makes the 25th free night in a roll,makes me soooo happy.

Time to go again

Well it has come time to move on out. That is the way of full timers. We have had a great time visiting with Mark, Sherry,the grand kids and the sweetest great grand children. We will take our morning walk,eat breakfast out ,then get ready to head down to the town of Culloden,West Virginia to visit 'Peach' and Don.

County Jail

This is the old county jail used up to 1986. The bottom part was the sheriff's residence and the top was the jail. There was a lady that cooked 3 meals a day for the prisoners. She furnished the food and cooked the meals for .84 cents a day. The building is a museum with lots of old stuff and history in every room. It was very interesting to tour through it.

Old Court House

This is looking up at the Doddridge County court house in West Union,West Virginia. Built in the 1800's. I like the old court houses with the clock on top. The old ones are a work of art much nicer than the new ones.

County Fair

We went to the Doddridge County Fair this evening. We don't usually do the fairs. The only reason we went was Sherry and her girls,Amanda and Dee were singing. There were several groups that sang before the main group(Chosen Few) came on stage. Of course Sherry and the girls did a good job singing. Another good day and evening

Dining Room

We came back down stairs and walked through one of four dining areas. Notice they left in the old fire place.

Sistersville,West Virginia

We visited the town today that Mark grew up in. We went to the Wells Inn Hotel. Mark worked the desk in this motel when his family lived here. Mark says the hotel is much nicer now. We went in to look and the guy(Doug)that is the manager knows Mark so he gave us a complete tour of the place. Oh thats Nancy and Sherry in front.
