Trip to Davis, WV

This weekend was the first (semi) large trip of the year! Inspired by the 52 hike challenge I found on Instagram, I felt that Mac and I needed to go do something new! So on Saturday, we packed some snacks, put the dog in the car and headed to West Virginia to visit the Black Water Falls State Park.

Davis, WV is roughly 2 hours from where I live in Harrisonburg, Va with my son and dog. The trip was easy and there was literally no traffic. (We were the only ones on the highway for several minute stretches of time.) The scenery of the mountains and mountain homes kept us alert for the majority of the ride. Our devices didn’t work so it was easy to suck up the WV radio media, which was a lot more diverse and fun than we thought it would be.

Arrival at the state park was cake! The walk down to the Falls was quick and beautiful. The boardwalk was so nice and while there were a lot of people, it didn’t seem crowded. (The bathrooms were also really nice and well kept, which is important after driving 2 hours). After walking to the Falls, we got back in the car and headed to the lodge, which is where the trailhead for our larger hike was located. This trail simple to follow for a novice like myself. Even so, there were some large rocks, fallen branches and roots that made the trek just a little spicy. The hike was said to be over 4 miles long, and we didn’t make it fully around the loop. (The lack of people and service on the trail made Mac more anxious than I would have hoped.) It was easy to find a short cut to get us back to the car.

As a new solo(ish) hiker, I need to do a lot better in preparing to do new things. I was prepared for the 30 degree weather, but I was not prepared for snow or mud. We DID NOT have the right footwear. I didn’t look at the place prior to hopping in the car, so I was unaware of how close everyone would be while walking on the boardwalk, which was not the best choice for my 2 year old, vocal dog, Stewie. I hope to make the trip again once its warmer outside and maybe I will be lucky enough to talk Mac into an overnight stay at the lodge.

After the hike, we got pizza to go from Sirianni’s. Their pizza was delicious, their service was amazing and I give them bonus points for the Black Lives Matter sticker in their window. We also visited the Wandering Caravan, which was too friggin lovely and I had to stop myself from buying one of everything. Before leaving, I ordered a matcha from Trailhead coffee. The space was small and intimate and the baristas were really nice. While I only bought the matcha and some benets(which were fudgin’ amazing) they sell different flavored hot chocolate bombs-- They even have boozy bombs for the adults. I will DEFINITELY go back catch a show, eat and spend more money. I think I might’ve even met a friend. :D

I listened to this powerful murder mystery/crime novel by @azkhanbooks. I’ve seen some people say it’s too political yet all I can think of is @_toni.morrison saying “All good art is political! There is none that isn’t. And the ones that try hard not to be political are political by saying, ‘We love the status quo.’” This was a good book that is more thought provoking than your run of the mill crime novel. I can’t wait to see where Detective #InayaRahman goes next. I’ll follow her there. The audiobook is beautifully narrated by @fareedanyc. Thanks @librofm for the gift. #audiobookstagram #blackwaterfalls #bookstagram #crimenovel #immigrantstory #murdermystery #refugeestory #readersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/ClKdA_ZLRiE/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blackwater Falls is a new book from Ausma Zehanat Khan. "A teenage girl is found killed and displayed in a mosque. in the town of Blackwater Falls, CO. The victim, Razan Elkader was a star student and refugee. Detectective Inaya Rahman is recruited to help solve her murder. She must fight local police indifference and prejudice to find her killer." I expected this book to be crime fiction but the narrative seems to be more about social issues than solving a crime. There are many stereotypes - the corrupt, prejudiced law enforcement - the criminal Christian evangelicals - the school jocks who are bullies. It was a bit much and detracted from the story. Crime fiction should include following the steps to solve the crime instead of a surprise reveal. Decent performance on the audiobook by Fareeda Pasha. #blackwaterfalls #ausmazehanetkhan #minotaurbooks #fareedapasha #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookphotography #bookcommunity #bookblogger #sodacityreads #suspensebook #bookhaul #literarycrimefiction #homelibrary #thrillerbooks #domesticthriller #crimefiction #thriller #characterdrivenbooks #mysterythriller #bookrecs https://www.instagram.com/p/CkQaj8wrHdI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Black Water Falls West Virginia

March 26 2018

This was on the way back from Seneca Rocks. We weren’t actually going to stop but decided to anyway, so I ended up doing a few hikes anyway.

It was definitely worth stopping.

The Geology out that way is far more interesting then Southern Maryland.
