Beautiful sunny day. Awesome curvy road over the mountain into Saulsville then curvy curvy curvy very scenic 4 miles in the park to the resort.

Had late lunch snack with Earl and Ralph near Beckley. Arrivals so far: Earl, Ralph, Duwayne, Jim, Darrell, Ted& Heather plus it looks like Tom & Pam here too.

Remote area so cell phones spotty at best.

Maybe post a couple pics tonight.
