A rainy day in the New River Gorge (West Virginia): Long Point, food, & fall views!

For our final adventure in West Virginia we’re exploring the New River Gorge, one of the most recommended spots for us to visit. Although the weather was not ideal, we still had a blast seeing the GORGEous views, eating at popular local restaurants, and seeing more fall colors.
PS: Since our visit, New River Gorge has been upgraded to be one of the 63 US National Parks!

Some bad news: Secret Sandwich Society caught on fire on November 5. 😭💔 They are planning to rebuild and if you'd like to help them fund their employee's wages during this time, you can donate here: www.gofundme.com/f/give-to-the-staff-at-sss Watch our other West Virginia vlogs: kzbin.info/aero/PLZKRTK1yCEM5a4PAiayjCpGAkRdeCeb5G Safety is our #1 priority and we want to stress that this adventure, and all future adventures, will be done responsibly and with the health of others in mind. Here are the steps we are taking everyday, including in these videos: 😷Masks and face coverings. We wear these anytime we are near others outside and especially indoors. If we don’t have a mask on in a video, it’s 99% because there was no one around. ⏰ Exploring early. We normally start at sunrise anyway because of less crowds, but especially so with COVID. We have been starting our days before sunlight so we can limit our interactions. 🧼 Washing and sanitizing our hands, especially after touching anything outside of the van. 🚐 Being in the van 95% of the time when we’re not filming. The adventures we share are a small sliver of our lives. We are staying in the van all day everyday when working and the only time we leave is to do laundry, get gas, or go to the store. 6️⃣ Keeping our distance. We are trying to stay at least 6 ft from others, which truthfully isn’t always possible (and then we make sure we cover our face).

I was about to comment about them buying down its so sad :(

[@jimbowling983]

I was going to tell y’all about it catching on fire

[@SaraYoke]

Construction is now underway!

[@WestVirginiasBigred271]

Yeah the last time I was there in October 22 it was under construction they are building a new one it might even be completed by now.

[@glgonz]

West Virginia Tourism should pay you for a fantastic vlog. What incredible views and beautiful fall colors. It looks like Kona had a great time with her tail wagging until shower time. Great job, can’t wait to see the next state.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahahah her day started out strong and then went downhill 🤣 But I think she enjoyed staying dry in the warm and cozy van while we continued to get wet!

[@janeedney6540]

I am 90 years old. Born in w.va. Watched the construction of the bridge. My mother and grandmother stood with me on a big rock outcrop one day and watched workmen walk across that span on a steel support that was only about a foot wide. This was common practice during that construction and there were no hand rails. Itwas terrifying to watch. Have no idea what the fatality rate was, but those guys were really good

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Wow that’s amazing! 😱

[@jessimcpeek6573]

So glad you were able to experience Fayetteville (even if it was one day, in the rain, and during a pandemic)! There is actually a great spot right across from Long Point trailhead where you guys could have overnighted called Arrowhead Bike Farm. Super cool bike shop/restaurant/beer garden/campground/farm that offers both electric and non-electric camping (bonus they have a station for cleaning bikes that you could have used to shower Kona). Fayetteville is definitely a long weekend destination, there is so much to do there that we go at least once a year and do something new each time we visit. Thank you so much for showing the world how beautiful and special WV is, as a native I have a deep bond with WV, and l love when people share how special she is with the world.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Ahhh dang, that’s so good to know! And we are so happy we got to share your state. It truly is a gem and we loved every second! ❤️

I have lived in the area my entire life. It wasn't until my 40s began though, and started to take fitness seriously that I truly started appreciating the stunning beauty I grew up amidst. Nearly everyone I know who grew up here feels so fortunate to live in one of the most gorgeous and ALIVE places on earth.

@@AdventuresofAplusK it is. To the matter of not liking slaw on your hotdogs. Blasphemy. I think you might have to pen an essay on why West Virginia hotdogs are the greatest version of the hotdog on earth to be able to return to our fair state. Might seem unfair, but hey, I don't make the rules.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

[@SorgiStories]

You went to the Gorge!! Soooooo hoping you would. Fantastic viewpoint you found from the trail. It will still give you amazing views in clouds. Will have to go there next time. And you found the overlook we did, and panted up the 178 steps! The mill is so cool - never checked it out before - will have to when we head back. And you went to Pies & Pints!!! The Gorgonzola cheese there is ridiculous. Top 5 pizza spots, and we’ve had pizza all over America. Three spots to also see: The overhead views of the Gorge from Hawk’s Nest, the ground view of the New River from Gauley Bridge and the awesome Cathedral Falls in the same town. You did it right!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We saved the best for last! 😉🙌🏼 We has a blast, even in the rain. We wish we could’ve done more, but we have a feeling we will be back next fall. Thank you for sharing those other spots so we can check them out next time!

did you go below the new river gorge bridge down the mountain, it is very breathtaking and you see the bridge above you and get close to all the rapids of course. Thanks for visiting!!! Summersville lake try it next time too not far from new river gorge.

I just found your channel and I’m in love. Especially with this one. My father and his siblings were born in a small town just west of the gorge. My father would take me back there to visit my grandparents when I was a child. Last November I took my own family for a week long visit and it just felt like home even though Michigan has always been my home. West Virginia is a beautifully stunning state with long, rich history. So glad you were able to experience it’s beauty for yourselves. And a side note... go back and do the bridge walk sometime. I did it when we were there and it was unbelievable!! You won’t be disappointed.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you for the kind words Debby! We’re glad we could share a place that means a lot to you! We totally agree on West Virginia, it’s a very gorgeous state. We loved it!

I a,m from WV and haven’t visited since 2019. Love all the videos. I love the Thai GF pizza from Pies & Pies. I rafted the New River on Bridge Day one year and we able to watch some of the BASE jumping from the Bridge from the water. Definitely worth it to try some rafting.

And just like that I am done with your WV series. Great overall series! Awesome locations, awesome food, awesome adventures. I grew up in Ohio, moved to Pittsburgh for 10 years, and now am in North Carolina for the past few years. I have visited West Virginia many times and have frequented the New River Gorge. You shed a very positive light on the state and showed what this state has to offer. West Virginia is a simply great state for outdoor enthusiasts. If you get back to the New River Gorge area, I recommend a visit to Sandstone Falls and of course whitewater rafting. I have done both the Lower New River (many times) and the Gauley River during fall release from the dam. Not sure what your comfort level would be but both are awesome with great scenery. There are Class V rapids on both rivers but the Gauley is definitely more intense. A really fun ride but everything is just bigger on that river (during the fall).

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are so glad you enjoyed the WV series, we loved it there! So many outdoor activities and not very busy...our favorite! We definitely want to whitewater raft next time! We splurged on the Via Ferrata, but next trip we will splurge on rafting!

@@AdventuresofAplusK that is a great choice Long Point is phenomenal!

[@emilygwin8388]

Found y’all on Instagram because I follow some WV tourism hashtags. Absolutely love seeing you explore an area I used to live and I love very dearly. Made me miss my old home.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are glad we could give you a dose of home! WV is absolutely stunning, we loved it so much and it definitely a gem in the US!

[@sheafan1971]

Hi guys it looks so nice there sorry it rained Enjoy and Have Fun.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

It’s ok! It made it more interesting lol!

[@jarvisjourneys]

This place really is gorgeous and so many different styles of adventure

[@davidyoon903]

I'm so glad you guys were able to enjoy New River Gorge. I spent 3 days and still wish I could have stayed longer!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

One day was definitely not enough! We cannot wait to go back!

[@davidyoon903]

@@AdventuresofAplusK It's definitely a MUST SEE for anyone that appreciates the outdoors. I'd love to do more exploring in the Northwest area, but I want to have my van completed first haha. BTW the video was great! Looking forward for the next! Be safe and have fun! ^_^

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks a bunch David! ❤️

[@tomthatcher7757]

Been down those steps to see the bridge. It is BEAUTIFUL 😍.

[@loeyminske3459]

Beautiful hike even in the rain. Love being above the clouds and the colors were so pretty. Poor Kona looked pretty miserable, haha! I was wondering about her getting in the van so dirty.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahahah she was not a fan 😂 She got to enjoy the rest of the day in the warm van! Thankfully she doesn't get that dirty very often!

[@dennysisk6260]

Great video enjoyed it, only thing made me hungry

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We have that effect on people sometimes 😅😅

[@bellison2014]

We went to West Virginia for our honeymoon. Relatives were from there. New River is awesome. Nothing compares to it. You took great footage. Loved your video. 🙂🙂

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thank you so much for the kind words! We agree-it’s amazing there!

[@MishapAmethystHikes]

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Thanks for watching! 😄

[@JimPetykowski]

Great video. We have been to that area rafting and on the bridge. Head back there in the fall when they release the dam water on the Gauley River for about 6 weeks.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We were there in the fall and really wanted to go rafting! It was out of our budget this time since we had just done a via ferrata, but hopefully next time!

[@gypsygurl]

Watching you guys latest episode with my Sunday morning coffee is something I look forward to entire week. Loved the beautiful colors that you showed with drone footage at the mill. That surely was a picturesque mill! FYI... if you ever come across a PIES and PINTS during your future travels, do try their "Black Bean Cheddar, jalapeño, salsa, cilantro & Creme fraiche". Trust me it is a unique and unexpected yummilicous flavor!!! When we go there, we definitely get one of that to share!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We couldn’t describe a better way to watch than with coffee! ❤️ That flavor sounds SO good! Definitely will try that next time 😋

[@Jesse-ub8vl]

And now it’s going to become a national park!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We are super pumped about that! Glad more people will go to WV and see its beauty!

[@tinastephenson4917]

I am so glad you were able to come to West Virginia. I live in WV and it is the most beautiful state especially this time of year. You need to go to Hawks Nest and Cathedral Falls as well. There is so much more to see here also. Love your vlog too.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We could’ve spent so much more time! Such a beautiful and fun state!

[@RockyRoadtrips]

I love your channel and the personalities you two bring. My wife and I enjoy watching all your stuff. My family have been roadtrippers for over seven years. We do things a little different. Mostly because we have kids. I started making short videos of our trips years back but I have been stepping it up over the past year and evolving it into a sort of Vlog and getting some ideas from you two. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

That is so awesome! Your family will cherish looking back on those memories forever! 🥰🥰

[@sharischmidt4712]

Even if the weather is not prime, the views look beautiful!🍁 My daughter has been rock climbing in West Virginia and has been to a Pints and Pie, she loved the pizza and she said the pints went down pretty smooth 😉

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

Hahaha we are glad to hear they live up to both parts of their name! 🙌🏼

[@coachrast5620]

Love it!! Really like your videos! You guys do a great job of showing the sites from amazing angles. We would love some of that rain here in AZ.😉 Keep up the adventures.

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We wish we could send some your way! We actually kind of like the rain!

[@stephendavenport9869]

I’ve been to a lot of the places you have been to in your West Virginia videos.. I got to go white water rafting at new River Gorge.. and got to walk Underneath the bridge as well...it’s a lot of fun...

[@AdventuresofAplusK]

We would love to go whitewater rafting next time!
