Another Exciting Pocahontas County Adventure
















On Thursday, our good friends Dan and Judy (Pix) Schuda met us at Burnsville. We headed toward the Schuda's cottage on the Greenbrier River in Seebert. When we travel through Craigsville, the Ranch House Restaurant is always on the agenda. The chicken livers were great! (I do not think my traveling companions would venture into eating the avian viscera!)

We arrived safely, started a fire, and played a couple games of ten penny rummy. Our friends call it that "horrid little game."

Friday was a beautiful day. We went to Marlinton. Dan wanted to share with us a gourmet restaurant know as French's. This is a quaint restaurant that serves excellent home cooked meals. Debbie, the cook, fixed our breakfast and it was great. The service was exceptional! I would recommend to anyone that they should experience the meals at French's!

























After filling our tummies with home fries, sausage, eggs, oatmeal, and toast, we drove to Meck's Bakery located between Green Bank and Cass. This is another wonderful place to visit. The reason for traveling here was to purchase their salt raising bread. We bought 10 loaves. We came home with other goodies including cookies, cream horns, and zucchini bread. The zucchini bread was a surprise when Dan discovered it in his bag when he arrived back at the cottage. Guess the lady at the bakery decided that Dan needed it.




















Judy and I took a nap when we returned to Seebert. Judy was still sleeping when Dan, Pix, and I went to the Greenbrier. It is always a beautiful river. This photo was taken on Friday afternoon. The Greenbrier River certainly changed its demeanor on Saturday and Sunday.
















On Friday night, the rains arrived. Saturday was a day of napping and card playing. (Quality eating is always on tap!) We had planned to go to Lewisburg where the folks there were having a chocolate festival. It was raining so hard that the Lewisburg trip was nixed. We did venture out to Hillsboro and shopped at Mrs. Dillard's craft shop.

Packing up early yesterday and cleaning the cottage with Pix's new purchase, we were ready to leave our relaxing abode. By the way, Pix's new purchase is the Swivel Sweeper (AS SEEN ON TV!). It worked so well that we shipped our order last evening.

We had pulled the van just off the road toward the porch to facilitate loading our things. Guess what? The rain has soaked the yard and we were immediately stuck. The front wheel drive started to dig into the yard.

















Dan and Pix tried several methods to untrap us in this newly formed bog. Finally Dan went to a neighbors. With his truck and a logging chain, we were easily extracted from our demise.




















During our travel home, it was essential that we once again eat at the Ranch House in Craigsville.

Flooding in the area would not allow us to travel our usual route through Muddlety. We headed toward Summersville and, after driving through a small amount of water on the road, we arrived in Burnsville safely. Once again a great trip with good friends.
