...exploring WV...


...Scout's Merit Badge College was held at the West Virginia Institute of Technology...

...it is truly perched on the side of a mountain...

...I saw this old picture in one of the buildings and thought it was neat...

...so I found the building today and tried to get the same view...but because there's another building in front of it now...I couldn't quite match it up...still I love the old buildings...

...all of the buildings are really nestled right up against the side of the mountain...

...and the flat areas are man-made...

...like this patio...with statuary...

...there were stairs absolutely everywhere...

...these led up to a lovely...but steep...trail...I don't think you can read the sign in the picture...but it say's 'Tech Trails'...

...and these really steep stairs lead up to the football stadium...

...right on top of the mountain...I was wondering if they ever have a ball get out of the fence...and have to chase it all the way down the mountain...

...it was such a lovely 'winter...NOT' day...on a lovely campus...we had a really good time...

...what places have you visited recently in your community for the first time?...

  1. We have lots of alleyways and passages that link the old streets and houses. I saw one yesterday that I intend to explore.

    These pictures remind me of living in Wellington, New Zealand. There maps were tricky as what seemed to be a road had flights of steps when it got steep and the road continued at the top!

  2. I love finding new areas in my community. Just yesterday my brother and I drove around to look at some neighborhoods that we are unfamiliar with.
