John with late wife Monnie on Blackwater Falls platformWhen I read Bob Downing's article Sunday in the Beacon Journal on Blackwater Falls, West Virginia's split-decision waterfalls, it brought back memories.
When our grandson Dylan was younger, his birthday request was the same year after year: Go horseback riding in Blackwater Falls State Park. So four adults left Ohio to fulfill his wish. His grandparents gave it a try a time or two, but the horsehide got too hard and we later opted to wait for them to return to our Canaan Valley Lodge for other fun activities.
It did make for a fun long-weekend for my late wife, Monnie, our daughter LaQuita and husband Tom and their sons Dylan and Devin, who are college students nowadays.
Downing's story focused on the diminishing height of the falls, caused by flooding. Thanks for the memories, Bob.
