"Wherever you go, go with all your heart!"
I lived in West Virginia for 12 years now but I still have to see a lot of what it has to offer. There are so many beautiful cities and small places here WV that I haven't seen yet. We always tend to want to travel somewhere else that a lot of times, we don't even realized how much more we could do if we just explore our own. In this post, I am sharing some videos of Wayne Worth. I like all his videos because you can really learn a lot of history about West Virginia. He visits every county of WV and tell about it on the videos.

I took these photos in one of our mini road trips along the Ohio and West Virginia roads. Ohio and West Virginia are side by side, only a river is diving it so you can pretty much travel by boat (if you have one) to explore these two beautiful states.
This part is on the Ohio side where you see the Steel Mill in Steubenville Ohio.
Seeing how the roads were constructed always fascinates me. You can see how much work has been put to it by blowing through mountains. I have a high regard and admiration for road construction workers, engineers and all the people involve in this kind of infrastructure projects.
Roads and bridges are great infrastructures that connects one place to another.Even when we we are going to certain places in West Virginia, we have to drive through the Ohio side because it is faster. Just like when I took these photos, we were heading to Wheeling on this but the shorter way to go there is by traveling to Ohio side.
The Wheeling Suspension Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the main channel of the Ohio River at Wheeling, West Virginia. This bridge was the largest suspension bridge in the world from 1849 until 1851.
Our children's favorite favorite part of crossing the bridge is tunnel at the end of it. It always reminds them the fun we had traveling in South Korea where tunnels are everywhere.
Here are some of the videos I have mentioned about.. 2. 3. 4. ...
I am also sharing a collage of photos by Dennis Jones, a local photographer who makes our little city so beautiful in his captured photos.. I hope you enjoy them.
Credits to Wayne Worth and Dennis Jones for the videos.
