Beautiful. Seems like you didn't get out of Pendleton County! The are over 930,000 acres to the Mon. Not 130,000!

@@marshallcrawford7909 Agree. Epic fail. Not sure why I used that number. I've made several videos in the Monongahela since this video, and I've corrected my mistake. Sorry for the bad information! Nevertheless, thanks for watching, and feel free to comment and correct any time! Bill

Mr. Marion, anything you can do to help keep the dirt roads in West Virginia open, would be greatly appreciated. A lot of roads are being closed off by a company who bought up most all of West Virginia's open lands. This company owns the properties, however, the dirt roads going through these thousands of acres are owned by the public. Our roads are dissapearing from online maps and this company is gating off the dirt roads that have been used by the public for over 100 years. If someone could research this and make a story/video of the dirt roads that are being closed off, it would help stop this billion dollar company from closing West Virginia off to the public. This is a real and serious issue that West Virginian's are trying to fight.

That's a good road too! We just got back from that area. This year we've made several videos in that region. Check them out if you get time!

Route 33 has dirt roads that connect to it. Route 33 from Josephine to Fireco West Virginia (route 3/3) is being gated off by a big cooperation, this is happening all over West Virginia (old dirt roads and old public highways/dirt roads), are being gated off and taken off online maps. We here in West Virginia, we are trying to fight this big cooperation by starting petitions and getting the word out. Please support West Virginia in this fight to keep all of our dirt roads open to the public (Everyone all over the world), not just the extreamly rich billionairs.

Since making this video, we've made about 30 in West Virginia! WE LOVE WEST VIRGINIA! We've spent so much time "over the mountain" this year. Check out that play list if you get time. When we made this video, we didn't realize we were only scratching the surface! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! Bill

I feel like singing that song from the movie Grease, "tell me more tell me more." I'll have to look into it! Bill

Thanks for watching Robert! It's amazing country, that's for sure. We love visiting WV, and looking forward to visiting more this fall! Thanks for commenting!

I'm releasing a video in a couple of weeks about highland scenic highway in WV. If you're planning a motorcycle trip, it's a must! Trust me. If I could release the video sooner I would, but the road is amazing. As short as it is, it rivals the Blue Ridge Parkway, and yet there's not a lot of traffic. Thanks for watching! Bill

@@BillMarion I'm looking forward to it.

You’d love it. Seriously, they’re pretty cool!

Sounds good to me! Thanks for watching, and thanks for commenting! Bill

Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! Bill

We just made a couple of additional videos in that part of West Virginia. We love it. Moved to Virginia in 2018, and we love this region, including West Virginia. I'm convinced the secret of West Virginia's beauty is about to get out! What shocks me about WV is that it's not packed with tourists. But it will be. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! Bill

@@BillMarion Your welcome.

Vonda Thanks for watching! Bill

I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's one of our favorite regions! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! Bill

I noticed that when we were down there.

The way the world is going, and what I've seen progress over the last few decades - I fear there are not many people & not much time left that will ever know what it's like to be completely rural and completely free. Even the rural neighbors end up blinded and vote for huge development... hoping their children and grandchildren will get "jobs" with some corporation & industry and not relocate. Then the companies and billionaires come - and the next generation doesn't even remember how things were and the reason we loved it so much. I'm about to be on my way in a ride I hope makes it there and back from about the last 2 rural miles left between Baton Rouge and New Orleans - the way things were is gone & I'm pretty much the youngest person alive with vivid memories of how it was & I'm going on 50. I support y'alls efforts 100%.

Suraj patil We make a lot of videos in West Virginia! Thanks for watching! Bill

What an awesome comment! Thank you so much for watching! I love mountain ranges all over the planet, but I was just telling my wife the other day that there is something special about these mountains! Thanks for commenting! bill

I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you so much for watching our videos!!! bill

@@BillMarion your welcome. Glad I found ya

Not a bad idea! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! Bill

It's a beautiful place! We're about to release another video about Spruce Knob! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! bill

Nancy Arellano Thank you so much for watching!

Violet Johnson I know right! I kept singing that the whole drive!

You're exactly right! There is so much more! This is just the first video of an entire playlist we're creating called "West Virginia Adventures." Much more to come in the following months. Be sure you subscribe (if you haven't already) and click the bell for notifications. We're going to be making a lot more videos in West Virginia. Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

It's a pretty safe place! Thanks for watching! Bill

Gary Stahl I will most definitely look it up, and if we use it (and we probably will) I’ll mention you in the video! It looks like a great road trip! We have many videos to make in West Virginia! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

What about Route 20 out of Princeton and on up to Hinton then pick up 3 to Shady Spring. Though, I will give you that 19 through Spanishburg and Camp Creek is pretty nice too.

Gary Stahl my mother had a farm in spanishburg we live in Beckley been on all the side/backroads near me I despise interstate highways

Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! Bill

It's nice at the park north of Sioux City, IA & another park along the ride. Years ago I passed on US 75 (I think) on the Nebraska side of the river from Iowa, south from Sioux City to Omaha & it was on the Loess as well - and much preferred than across the river in Iowa, going down I-29. One of my favorite places I've ever beem, in one of the most middle-of-nowhere places I've ever been... is Smith Falls State Park in Nebraska, just east ov Valentine, Ne - not far from the SD border. You can go under the spring fed waterfall & swim in the scenic river. The ride going back east on NE12 is a vary relaxed, nice ride.

helvetiawv we sure will!!! It’s about that time again, and this year, we’re gonna hit these roads about two week sooner! If you have any other suggestions let us know! We’re just across the mountain from this area and want to make more videos! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! Bill

@@BillMarion The Helvetia fair is always the second weekend of September Fun little town of Swiss/German heirtage. Can you yodel....

@@helvetiawv I can yodel. But only in the car with the stereo really loud. But I'm not so bad. lolol

I agree. For past couple of years, we've been doing a much better job doing that in our videos, using Google Earth, and Google maps. It took me a while, but I realized how important it is to the viewers. Thanks for watching, and thanks for commenting! If you have time, check out some of our videos!

@@BillMarion I’ve watched just about all the West Virginia videos as I live near Morgantown I’m south in a little town of grafton that was a railroad town back in the day I like the Seneca rock spruce knob area to get away to

@@dallasdavis3246 I just subbed your channel. (I thought I already subbed). I really want to fish that creek on the other side of Spruce knob. I think it's a part of Senec Creek, but I'm not sure. I'll probably get to that in September if my calendar will let me. Locals love fishing that creek. Speaking of the other side of Spruce Knob, Osceola and the road that cuts through those farms is fascinating to me. We made two videos at the Sinks. The cave is interesting, but that whole area is like going back in time.

Yes Charles, it's a goof. But since then I've made about 25 videos in West Virginia and more than made up for the goof! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

Carla Dickerson I bet that’s a great country road! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting!

@@BillMarion you're welcome!

Exactly! We access this area from Harrisonburg, VA, on 33. It's amazing region! Thanks for watching and thanks for commenting! Bill

Okay now you've got me thinking about visiting.thanks for the answer.
