Day 4 of 2024 Summer Trip - West Virginia
First stop on our trip was Surveyor, WV in Raleigh County, where we stayed at Lake Stephens Campground. This lovely place has been built on 2300 acres around an old hunter's campsite that was established in the late 1700's.
This gorgeous park with bathrooms that had me singing a happy tune AND doing the happy dancing that goes along with it, surrounds a stunning mountain lake.
You gotta take it slow going on these "country roads." As my honey puts it, there's no drag racing in West Virginia because there's not a straight quarter mile road anywhere in the state. LOL!
Not sure if that's entirely accurate, but just look at this scenery....
These pictures were taken from the truck while driving to our destination.
We were blessed with perfect traveling weather and had no trouble setting up and enjoying a lovely dinner cooked outside while listening to music (John Denver anyone?) and soaking in the breathtaking views of the campground.
One of the things I found most enchanting about Lake Stephens was the "Almost Heaven" swing which looks out over this body of water, unspoiled despite the fishing, boating and swimming that takes place on it.
You're supposed to set up your phone or camera on the wooden cutout of West Virginia and take a picture of yourself on the swing with the lake in the background.
Alas, I do believe I've mentioned that I am not a photographer and I had no clue on how to set the timer on my phone at the time!
Not sure if I could do that even now LOL!
Anyway, our stay in WVA was memorable in every way.
These swings are located throughout West Virginia. Find out where HERE.
My next post will outline what we did and where we visited,so check back often.
Until next time, happy trails.
