SmallTown-GoodTime

Went "home" for a couple of days this weekend and decided on the way, I'd take some pictures to share with you.
These are just pictures taken on the drive over, out the window of the truck, so some of them are a little blurry.
This first picture was taken just going up Smithville Hill.
Calhoun County line.
First cut of hay, a very busy time for local farmers.
Going past the old home place.  Sadly, going into disrepair...
A close knit community...my Uncle's home.
My best friends house.  She has lived here all of her life!
Going down Big Springs Hill.
This is known as Jackson Curve just before going up the hill to the Nobe and Lovada turn offs.  This has been a very dangerous curve and there have been lots of accidents here over the years.


Spring and Summer means road work...
Just a few miles down the road, more road work...
Looking back...
More road work, the hill side has slipped again.
Big slip in the road!
Grantsville, West Virginia, my home town!  Don't blink!
Town Square covered with the carnival rides, food and fun.
My table is set up right behind the popcorn booth...good stuff!
The white building is the county's funeral home.  The yellow brick building is now the realty office, it was a bank at one time...long ago.
This is the second day, I wanted to get a picture going down Jackson Hill into Jackson Curve...
Hang on!
Through the curve, on the way to Harrisville.
Thanks for taking this little trip with me, I've enjoyed showing you around my little corner of the world.
