Next Stop...West Virginia to Americas Newest National Park

Next Stop...West Virginia to Americas Newest National Park
(EPISODE 242)
ℹ️ About this episode:
On this episode of LivinRvision, we are making our next stop to West Virginia to see Americas newest National Park, the New River Gorge National Park and Preserve. Along the way, we find a little hidden gem country store that has a lot of variety to choose from.
As you know, we are in a rush to get as much content as we can while we make our way back to visit family and friends and most days that we get are very limited on how much time we can spend at each stop or how many stops we can make before we need to keep going. So we have to be choosey and do some research to figure out what we think would be the best spots to stop at that will make the best out of the little time we have. Our intentions are to have enough content to edit for a few weeks while we are visiting family and friends on the weekends, so that we don’t have to film on the weekends like we normally do. Then, once we leave Iowa again, we will be back to our “normal” schedule.
Our next stop tin the New River Gorge National Park takes us to the Grandview Main Overlook! This is a must stop! The views here are spectacular and if you have the time, there are nearby trails that you can take for more beautiful views. Just be sure to bring your favorite bugs spray. 🦟
As we continue to travel, we decide to stop in a historic little ghost town called, Thurman. This little town only has one way in and it is a LONG railroad bridge that is only a ONE WAY, so make sure you don’t see any other vehicles crossing when you decide to drive across. We also share some very interesting history about this little ghost town as well.
Next, we are heading for the New River Gorge Bridge which is known as one of the main attractions of this National Park and for good reason!
We hope you enjoy and have a few laughs along the way! 😁🤓

WELCOME....WEST VIRGINIAN HERE....OUR STATE IS BEAUTIFUL.

[@laurakilmer8652]

I love those old places. neat music with it. You Folks do a great job with your videos. Thanks

[@darynhammons4981]

youall need to take a white water raft trip and see the bridge from the river its great or just drive down the river road to the underside of the bridge the view is spectacular.

[@homesteadnews]

Thank you for the tour of parts of West Virginia. Thurman seemed very interesting. We would love to get to West Virginia one of these days. My family settled there after the Revolutionary War. Specifically in Lewisburg, WV where my many greats grandfather is a part of the walking tour.

[@LivinRVision]

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing your family roots. 🧡

[@bradheadley4250]

Grew up in WV. Beautiful state! On the second Saturday in October the state shuts down 2 lanes crossing the new river bridg 25:44 e for “bridge day”. Folks that are adventurous (or foolish) skydive from the bridge into the canyon below. Quite a spectacle!

[@LivinRVision]

We read about that Bridge Day. Would be something to see for sure! Don’t think we would ever be one of the “adventurous” jumpers. 😂

[@garythovson2587]

Lotta coffee for Michelle . Great job of driving those roads Brian. I’ve had a few spoons broken too! 🤓😎🥸

[@robynidyllwild6755]

Howdy Guys! Wow really great video. So green there. That bridge was crazy 😜 I am just like you Michelle I white knuckle on twisty narrow roads. Such a pretty area though! Thanks for a great video AGAIN 💛Be Safe.

[@dennysisk1100]

Glad you guys got to visit our beautiful state.

[@scottdupertuis1911]

Was just at New River NP last week. That whole area is gorgeous!

[@LivinRVision]

We were there about a month ago. We’re working on all the videos we did during our trip back home for Mother’s Day.

[@rebahicks3619]

Look forward every week for your videos...

[@patmcdaniel9612]

Thanks for taking us along. After watching the video and seeing the narrow road, it'll be the only way we'd see that part of the country.....😊😊😊 Safe travels!!!

[@LisaSmith-sc5zs]

Not all WV roads are like that one.

[@sandymajors9771]

Brian we love you! you always make us laugh, but it is good to see Michelle smile and talk more.

[@timmie1943]

I live in Oak Hill WV. Thank you for this video of the area. We are very proud of our National Park. 😊

[@darbowma]

We just returned to Indiana from Lynchburg, VA with our 5th wheel. Chaos Mtn in VA was a challenge.

[@mwallace6540]

We left Fl. about 8 weeks ago for a trip to Maine and back. Along the way we stopped at the New River Gorge also. We stayed at Summerville Lake Resort campground which wasn’t far from New River Gorge bridge state park. A cold front had come through so the bugs were not a problem when we were there. It sure was a pretty place. We’re enjoying your videos. Thanks for information on the Grech Ion.

[@sarageorge7631]

WV is one of our most beautiful states. I feel you Michelle. My husband is from WV and when he took me back 48 years ago we road those narrow roads high in the mountains. For a person scared of heights it was frightening 😬🫣. I was definitely on edge. We go back a couple times a year and love the state, but those roads are still scary!! We took a good friend up there a couple months ago and gave him the experience of the narrow curvy roads. You did good!! Hope you and your mom had a great Mother’s Day! And Brian….Happy Father’s Day! Love your video!

We visited the area before it was a National Park. It’s a beautiful place. The bridge is amazing!

[@werejustapassinthru574]

I love your videography and how you both are awesome 🤩

[@LivinRVision]

🧡

[@RichardinNC1]

Glad you enjoyed the area. I’ve been to the New River Gorge many times since the 80s for whitewater rafting, Bridge Day, and just visiting. There is a trail from the visitor center to take 200 steps down to a side on view of the bridge. A bit of a climb back up. You can also do a catwalk tour under the bridge, strapped in for safety! There is also a 1 yay road down to the river and up the other side although it would be tight going for a large van. Thurmond may still be a put in for rafting, imagine a school bus on that road. The Amtrak Cardinal runs through the gorge 3 times a week. I think Thurmond is still a flag stop. I watched it go by once from the Hawks Nest overlook, just west of the national park boundary. PS: Bridge Day in October, opens the bridge for BASE jumping and you can walk across it to watch them jump or pay for a down under tour and watch them try to land alongside the river!

[@LivinRVision]

Thanks for sharing the info! We had read about the Bridge Day. Would be very cool to see but don’t think we would ever partake in the jumping. 😂 😮

[@user-mg7ez3og3y]

Such a beautiful place!

[@tfrock5877]

Y’all should have done the bridge tour UNDER the gorge bridge! If you happen to keep heading up I-77 into Ohio, wave as you pass Marietta where live!

[@LivinRVision]

Wish we could have. We were here about about a month ago. We’ve been gathering as much content as we could so that I could have something to edit every week while we are back visiting family and friends on the weekends. We had to get back for Mother’s Day. Things will catch up here soon.

[@carolm8003]

Tarmarak is spectacular. Did you know you can make a glass blown piece without an appointment? For our anniversary we choose to each make a tumbler. They came out so colorful and beautiful great keepsake, other options were a ornament ball or paperweights. They had woodworkers you could observe and so many museum quality items. My husband was very interested in some of these pieces. Plus there is a whole art gallery. We purchase many hand crafted items. We also enjoyed touring a coal mine and village with a retired coal miner. We didn’t linger much in Thurmon….we did more of the spectacular vistas. Too bad you got all those bugs. We were there last sept. Water was clear and sparkles which was nice but not raging like you saw. That would have been interesting. We spent a whole week there. Beautiful area, your video has me wanting to go back.

[@LivinRVision]

Tamarack was very slow with hardly any vendors standing anywhere the day we were there.

[@patriciabarnhart1886]

My husband was a union structural ironworker in his profession, working mostly on West Virginia river bridges and power plants construction projects. It is for the feint of heart……💙 WV is a beautiful state when it comes to their well maintained state parks. A big fan anyway, but an exceptional video today, Brian. Thank you.

[@aprilbevis6109]

I love seeing all the places you go..❤

New River Gorge is on our list! Thanks for taking us along.

[@Followyourdreams_1]

Great video! Beautiful country.

[@judypierce7028]

You are on what we West Virginians call a thirdly road which is almost a cow path. If you are going to travel in WV, expect to be on such roads. There are some such roads when you go around a curve, you must honk your horn to let someone coming in the opposite direction that you are coming around the curve. Glad you visited Thurmand. The bridge crosses New River, one of the oldest rivers in the world.

[@gloriaorsinger2372]

You two are so cute and funny 😆 beautiful country. Thank you for great videos

[@norasayre8318]

Love your videos,some of the places you have traveled we were just recently at, love how you have added a little history of where you are at

[@ReaganThatcher]

Somewhat surprised you didn't go through the Hinton WV area. It is an old railroad town which still has an active railroad, a railroad museum, a nice downtown with antique stores, a couple shops and restaurants, etc. You pass through Hinton on the way to Sandstone Falls which is also in New River Gorge National Park. There is a nice little boardwalk which takes you to the falls area. This year is Hinton's 150th birthday and there will be a railroad festival held in October.

[@darrinmccreery7444]

Safe travels.

[@wxrtfan]

Thanks!

[@norapawlik6674]

Great Video. I love VA. My Mom was born and raised in Clifton Forge, VA. Very close to West VA boarder on route you were on. I saw a sign as you were driving to W. Virginia that said Covention, it's right in that neck of the woods. Beautiful part of the US. I have very fun memories of family trips to see my Grandparents and Aunts & Uncles. Loved seeing all your stops and great historical info. That Apple butter is the best!

[@jolenecreech7648]

As beautiful as that gorge drive is, I would be glad to get to a larger city. Something struck me as kind of eerie. Have a nice visit with family! ❤

[@reginahay5211]

Lot of rain. The New was muddy. I’m from further south in Va near the New River Trail.

Was on vacation last week so I am late on commenting. I totally get having to skip sites or activities due to time. I just went to Calgary, Banff and Canmore Alberta in the Sprinter van all the way from MO. Such a long drive but worth it. Always love the videos and used some of your advice on our trip. Good ol Cracker Barrel. Saved me after a 10 hour drive from Montana to Sioux Falls SD.

My husband was from WV. Great to see the video! Beautiful area! First time we were there, we drove from Charleston to Nitro, 30 mi. This AZ gal thought 30 min. 3 hours and I got motion sickness.🙄

[@jeanfierbaugh4832]

As a transplanted WV girl, I loved seeing all the beautiful sights, made me homesick. Did you drive any "kiss-your-butt" turns? The last job that I had in WV before we moved I traveled the roads of our beautiful state quite a bit. Nothing like driving those country roads in the fall with all the beautiful leaves that are red, yellow and orange. Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River!

[@LivinRVision]

We didn’t get to explore any further as we drive through, we were in a bit of a hurry.

What a depressing place by the railroad tracks. My parents and late husband's grandparents hailed from West Virginia. I could almost smell the air as you drove through the forestry areas. Beautiful state though. Thanks for the journey. And many more safe travels.

There is a day set aside one time a year that the bridge is closed to traffic and people come and bungie jump. Ah ha! Charleston is close to where I was born and raised. You are about 100 miles from Charleston.

I live in Beckley. Couple times a year I try to go and visit a wild and wonderful part of WV. My kids love the Lost World Caverns in Lewisburg. If your looking for a day hike and scenery Blackwater falls in Davis and Twin Falls has good paths and nice views especially during fall when the leaves change. Old style architecture: you can visit Harper Ferry for 19th century or go to Moundsville and visit Grave Creek and see artifacts and "buildings" from I think it was 200 BC. There's also Berkley Springs which have natural hot springs the run a constant 80 degrees year round. Supposedly a bath the George Washington used to visit often. They also have private old school bath houses and saunas there as well. Excellent luxurious spas there with renowned masseuses as well. Whole bunch of pretty country here with oddities and and interesting history spot scattered around.

Hi guys-- next time you get in the area you'll have to go to Luray Caverns! We stayed at a really cool campground up there also. Question for you guys--- how was it getting a permit for New River Gorge for filming or didn't you get one? We are hoping to get there this year and film and was just wondering? Thanks.. Safe Travels!!

[@LivinRVision]

Yes, we got a permit. We always do. The process is the same for getting permits at National Parks, you’re just talking to each separately.

The roads you were on are not scary at all. We got some scary ones around here but they are off the main paths. Best time to visit this area is late October when the leaves are peaking. Come back for Bridge Day.

[@LivinRVision]

The entire road was not scary, it was the narrow parts of the road especially the areas with the houses and wall right at the side of the road with nowhere to pull over when there is oncoming traffic that hugs the middle, especially when you are driving a larger vehicle. As mentioned in this video. Bridge day looks interesting but you wouldn’t catch us jumping off the bridge. 😂 The fall colors would be beautiful.

[@bigal25938]

@@LivinRVision The scary roads are the old roads with the rock cut wall on one side and over 300’ almost vertical drop off on the other. Even gets to me sometimes.

[@LivinRVision]

Yikes. Yes, there are many different “levels” of scary roads throughout the country and some more so than others. Driving close to oncoming traffic doesn’t discredit a road from being scary to us though. 😂
