May 15 & 16
The original plan for West Virginia was to meet up with Kim and Dave Chadwell at The Gorge National park and camp there but the weather did not cooperate. Instead we stayed in a hotel in Beckley for two nights. It was a great time of rest and fellowship.
Then we headed on to North Carolina. Our first stop was at Prayer Mountain in Moravian Falls. The drive had us wondering if we were on a road or a walking path. It continued getting narrower and narrower. We did see a sign that said “SLOW” so we figured it really was a road. Finally made it to the top. So glad that we didn't meet a vehicle coming from the other direction.
We walked down the path, enjoying the peace. Chairs had been placed, singly and in pairs, along the way, nestled among the trees. We sat and prayed for quite a while.
Next stop: Concord, NC, to visit with Chris and Christy.
