The Trails are getting internet! We’ve run our initial Starlink tests and it’s working well. We are now digging 1600 feet of fiber underground - to outfit four rental structures - with more to come!

I am completely convinced that the world is a better place because there are eight year old hippies. ✌️🌼🌈 🦋

Another blue hour / sunrise shot from Mount Vernon Road near the 4H camp, Camp Pioneer, just outside of Beverly, WV. The sky that morning was so dramatic and awesome, I wanted to feature it in this photo instead of the tree that I usually make the subject. Hope you like it, and thanks for viewing!

This was taken when it wasn’t quite as “wintry” as it is today…but it is certainly a beautiful day for a winter train excursion!

Hi there 🌞! I've missed you! I'm not one to let the weather get me down but I gotta say this winter has been rough. So much rain, very little snow and so much MUD! It's been bringing me down. This afternoons ride in the sun was exactly what I needed! I hope Y'ALL got outside today and got to soak in a few rays! #ridelife #rideordie #gravelbike #gravel #gravelride #gravelgrinder #dirtroad #countryroads #westvirginia #mountains #rivers #winter #sunshine #livdevote #randolphwv
The @davisandelkins campus includes 5️⃣ national register historic landmarks, four of which also comprise a National Historic District.
Did you know you can arrange a self-guided walking tour through both Graceland Mansion and Halliehurst? ✨
📍 Graceland | Completed in 1893, Graceland is a stone mansion that, along with a 360-acre estate, served as the summer home of Senator Henry Gassaway Davis. Enjoyed by two generations of the Davis family, the mansion was acquired in 1941 by the West Virginia Presbyterian Educational Fund, and, in 1945, the building and immediate grounds were presented to Davis & Elkins College.
Contact Davis and Elkins College to arrange your tour!

At Camp Pioneer there is a group photograph for every year 4-H Camp has been held. In every photo, there are smiles full of the fun, community, and fellowship. It's this feeling of fellowship that connects the youth of the past with those of the present, experiencing 4-H for themselves.

I took this a year ago at Cheat Bridge. I still haven’t found this kind of snow this winter yet.
