I intended on heading to FLA Keys last weekend but Ida hit that over the head.
Not to be deterred, wanting to go somewhere, and after getting the bike ready for a 2,500 mile trip, I took a ride around south east WV which turned out to best in my mind. Nothing like checking out your backyard.
I've been through the area numerous times so this trip I slowed it down and did some exploring and...
Saturday morning. No one around and was like that for the whole weekend.

Got onto 92 and took lunch in the Monongahela National Forest. I have to say this is a good time to ride around this general area, all the parks are empty and you can take your time and ponder...
Continued north to Green Bank...

...then back down to Cass. This place was deserted also. I was attracted to the old mill more than the tracks...
There was a stay out sign but who was around to stop me?

First ride of the day, Highland Scenic Highway 150, very nice and had the park to myself. I also got to see a black bear jog across the road about 50 yards in front of me.

Great ride report. You should visit the southwest part of your state. I'm on the Virginia side about 35 miles from the WV line. Down in the corner, you are near great riding in WV, KY, VA, TN and NC. You could ride a week and never see the same thing twice or have a dull moment.

I spent my lunch checking out your weekend. You seem to enjoy the same things I do; Cemetaries, the old mill, toom stones and BMW motorcycles of course. I spent a week touring the Civil War military parks in Virginia and Pennsylvania West Virginia etc. Beautiful country side and scenery. I was there in Late May much warmer than your trip. Thank you for the great pictures and for sharing your...
thanks guys, you really can't go wrong on any of the roads in the area. In more of the hair pin turns, gravel was present sometimes heavy, but overall in pretty decent shape and clear.
Getting out there with just myself and the bike made for a nice weekend, no rush and no place to be other than where I was and the 2 lanes. Very chill weekend worth every bit.
