Dear Family and Friends,

Last Tuesday my daughter Eva and I went on a hike to the High Knob Fire Tower.

[Directions: Take 33 West (from the intersection of 42 & 33 this takes about 30 minutes). Directly after you pass the "Welcome to West Virginia" sign, park in the parking lot on the left. The hike is approximately 55 minutes to the High Knob Fire Tower (1.25 miles). It is moderate in difficulty.]

The stroll along the path was as beautifully impressive as walking down an aisle of a church on wedding day. The flower pictured below was in full bloom in all shades of white and pink.

At the top we also encountered the mysterious flower pictured below.

Can anyone “name-those-flowers” for florally-challenged folks like us?
We found ourselves hankering for a Nine-Grain Bread sandwich and a Monster Cookie. With this gorgeous weather, we are in peak picnic season; make sure your not caught with your picnic basket down at the house – pick up all you need for nourishment at A Bowl of Good tomorrow.
