The last day of our trip to Petersburg, WV. We said goodby to Lee's sister, Linda and thought we would be back to Bedford, KY at least by suppertime. Not to be. There was to much sight seeing to do. We had been to all of these places before but it had been so long ago we decided to see them again. We first stopped at the Smoke Hole Caverns. We knew there was a good gift shop there to get a few souvenirs. At this point trying to be good and get on down the road we decided to by pass actually going on the cavern tour since we had done it in 1992.

And because I was wanting to stop at Seneca Rocks. A large up-thrust of rock that the Indians used to camp near. It is now supposed to be a great place for rock climbers. I don't do that kind of thing so don't know if it is or not. I do know it is a picturesque place, but on the morning we were there the lighting was not that great as it was very hazy. Lee did say that he had been as far up as the notch in the rocks with a group of his friends when he was a teenager. That it's self would be a heck of a climb.

 Right in the area of the parking lot to Seneca Rocks was an old homestead that the Forest Service has taken over. It wasn't open on this day but I did take photos of the outside. The first part had been built in the 1960's by Jacob Sites. It was remodeled several times. There was a garden on the side that had been planted as it might have been from that time period. There were lots of herbs in it as well as corn, beans, squash, and pumpkins. There was a pumpkin vine on a rail fence that had a big blossom on it the day we were there making a nice photo.
