Lost River RV Campground, Lost City, WV

Sunday, 2 December.  We arrived at the Lost River Campground in Lost City, WV, the afternoon of Thursday, 29 November, after an uneventful trip from Salem, VA, via I-81.  Checked in and were set up by mid-afternoon.  Campground is small but well-maintained, with clean rest rooms and showers.  The campsites are large, but then there weren’t that many RVers or campers here this time of year.  But there are some hunters, since this is deer hunting season in WV.  As we drove around the campground looking at various sites we noticed a couple of what appeared to be successful deer hunters who were in the process of field-dressing/cleaning/skinning their deer – right at their campsite.  Welcome to deer season in WV, I guess.  A couple more hunters joined these two over the weekend.  They had a 5^th-wheel and small trailer for their living area, plus a couple pickups and at least four ATVs.  All part of deer hunting season here in wild, wonderful WV.

Over this past week and especially this weekend we’ve spent a very enjoyable few days visiting with our oldest son, Kip; his wife, Tina; and our two granddaughters, Skye and Rayne.  We’ve played games, watched a couple movies, trimmed a Christmas tree, and helped set up outside holiday decorations.  All of which certainly got us in the holiday spirit.  Tina, as usual, fixed one fantastic meal after another – man, is she a good cook!  And we even managed to acquire a partial Christmas list from Skye and Rayne, with promises of more items to add to the list.  We'll be back here in WV the weekend of 22/23 December to see the Christmas play Kip is directing at their church (Saturday) and also the children's Christmas play on Sunday.  Looking forward to both!
