/ The National Road: West Virginia / Wheeling Suspension Bridge / Wheeling and the National Road is home to one of the greatest engineering achievements in American History. The nearly 170 year old Wheeling Suspension Bridge is the oldest operating suspension bridge in the world. The bridge was the first to span a main channel of the Ohio River (1). In 1836, a two span covered bridge opened over the back channel of the Ohio in Wheeling. This bridge crossed at the site of an 1893 truss and modern day bridge that carries Route 40 over the back channel to this day! (2) The story of the bridge was amplified by a bidding and design war between two prominent suspension bridge designers, Charles Ellet, Jr. and John Roebling. The two rivals would compete for the commission until Ellet’s design won out in 1847. The 1,010 foot bridge took two years to complete. It opened on October 20, 1849, although the official grand opening would take place on November 15. The bridge was immediately put into service as a toll bridge. The Terrific Storm On May 17, 1854, a violent gale destroyed most of the bridge with much of the span crashing into the Ohio. One account of the collapse read: “For a few moments we watched it with breathless anxiety, lunging like a ship in the storm; at one time it rose to nearly the heighth of the towers then fell, and twisted and writhed, and was dashed almost bottom upward. At last there seemed to be a determined twist along the entire span, about one half of the flooring being nearly reversed, and down went the immense structure from its dizzy heighth to the stream below, with an appalling crash and roar. Nearly the entire structure struck the water at the same instant dashing up an unbroken column of foam across the river, to the heighth of at least forty feet! ” (3) Many have compared the 1854 collapsed to that of the famed 1940 collapse of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. The collapse ended Ellet’s turbulent career as a bridge designer and builder. To repair the span, Roebling, who had since gained national acclaim for his railroad bridge over the Niagara River, was commissioned to rebuild the bridge at a cost of $42,000 (4). / To preserve the structure and keep it usable, the bridge would have major repairs done in 1956, 1982, and 1999. It has received numerous awards and honors including: National Historic Engineering Landmark; 1969 National Historic Landmark; 1975 National Register of Historic Places; 1980 / credits Gribblenation.com / Nikon D200×18-200 Nikkor lens / 3 shots HDR processed in Photomatix and then enhanced ps

During the heyday of coal mining in the New River Gorge, Thurmond was a prosperous town with a number of businesses and facilities for the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway. The town was the filming location for John Sayles’ 1987 movie Matewan since it still possesses many of the characteristics of a 1920s Appalachian coal mining town. Sorce Kodak ZD710

2005 BMW K1200LT at New River Gorge in West Virginia. My buddy Jim was cracking up when he saw me laying on the ground, trying to get this angle. The longest arch bridge in the Western Hemisphere is visible near the bike’s headlight. I now wish I would have changed the angle/composition so as not to have the front of the bike appear so busy … Oh well, next time ….. Image made with Nikon D300 and Tokina 12-24mm f/4.

Holly River State Park near Flatwoods, WV, in Webster County, protects 8,101 of remote mountain forest and is the second largest state park in West Virginia. Holly River is especially popular with campers and hikers visiting the park’s waterfalls and high ridges. Holly River is the second largest park in the West Virginia park system with a total of 8,101 acres. Nestled in a narrow valley, the park is surrounded by heavily forested mountains some reaching heights of over 2,800 feet. Hiking on the many trails the park offers is another way to get acquainted with the flora and fauna of the region. Trails to two waterfalls, Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa, named for two legendary Indian chiefs of the area, are quite popular. Or perhaps you might prefer the hike to Potato Knob with its commanding view at 2,480 feet. At the bottom you won’t want to miss the famous “Shupe’s Chute” waterfall.
