Thanksgiving in the Mts. Of WVa









What an awesome Thanksgiving the Kendrick clan had in the wild wonderful mountains of West Virginia! We enjoyed an awesome dinner on Thursday evening prepared by Chef Mike & Chef Delores. Got to spend time with Steph, Chris, Kaitlyn, Madalyn, Mom and Mike. It was great! Friday morning Brian and I got up and drove the short trip down the Coalfields Expressway to visit Burning Rock ATV and Offroad Park. If you know anyone who enjoys ATV riding this is a must visit park. 8000 unspoiled acres with miles of ATV trails, beautiful views, and chocked full of turkey, deer, bear, tons of wildlife. On the way back home we went through the mountains to the old coal camp town of Stokesbury and it was really neat to see all of the old timey buildings that look just like they did years ago when the coal mine was booming. On our way back we got to see the two MONSTER BUCKS pictured above. They sure don't grow deer here in Tennessee like they do in West Virginia. One was a 14 pointer and the other a 13 pointer. The 14 pointer had one of it's tines broken off but we are still calling it a 14. What a lucky day that hunter had. Amazing!
