Scot and Erin Houghton Barger traveled to the Canaan Valley Blackwater Falls which reminded Erin of our Salmon River Falls
There is so much history in the area of Canaan Valley
The Canaan Valley is a tourist type of area with a bunch of things to do like; camp, picnic, kayak, white water rafting, fish, hunt, rock climb, bike, hike, restaurants, visit nature centers, gift shops, etc. The first two weekends of Oct. are the best times to see fall foliage change. This area is also known for it's ski resorts in the winter.
Scot and Erin hope to return in the near future. They were spoiled by the innocence of nature, it was hard to return to "real life". They had hoped to see a bear after hearing that they were active this time of year, but the animals we saw most were deer, grouse, fish, chipmunks,
and cows, pigs, and chickens on farms. Luckily they didn't see any rattle snakes. Erin hopes all is well in Parish.
