I celebrated my birthday on Friday Jan 16th. On Saturday, we dropped the kids off at Granny's and had our selves an overnight at Hawks Nest Lodge at Hawks Nest State Park in Ansted, West Virginia. Now this was not a fancy place, just the basic room with dinner and breakfast. But, for what we have been through in the past 6 months, it was a welcomed getaway. There is no skying or anything there, just peace and quiet..... and cold!! When we arrived there, it was -5*F with a wind chill of -40*F
Here are some great pictures, and Yes there are FINALLY PICTURES OF HESTER our /6 1966 VALIANT 200!!!! :cheers:
Hawks Nest was a strategic look out point during the Civil War for both sides. The battles on Drop Mountain and The fort at Gauley Bridge were fought and won back and forth for over 3 years being occupied by either side at one time or another.
