Some pics from our trip last week to the Covington area of Virginia. Great place for road trips.
Natural Bridge
Humpback Bridge
Mountain Lake Lodge. IE Kellerman's from Dirty Dancing. The lake goes through stages of filling and draining. You can see some water in the deeper area in the background. When we visited here ~3 years ago, the whole thing was dry.
This is a main hotel building on a property that started about 140 years ago, originally called Craig Healing Springs. It operated as a resort until 1960, when it was purchased by a church denomination as a camp and retreat center, and it continues to operate today. Researching the history of this property is one of my hobbies, and one of the main reasons we vacationed in this part of the world.
Roaring Run Furnace. A 19th century iron furnace. The remains and area around it are part of the Va State Park system.
The C&O Heritage Center
Falling Springs. This is as close as you can get to it legally unfortunately.
I build RCs like people would have done back in the '90s ..................................... if they had 3D printers.
