Interesting day today we visited 2 mine sights that were being reclaimed. The first one, Joe Knob, was reclaimed by man and had lots of greenery but not native greenery. 
The other site, Nuttalburg, had been reclaimed by nature and had a variety of local plants. It left me with many questions about which is better and why each way was chosen. What factors impact the decision to do the different reclamation.
We also went to the Babcock State Park and saw the Glade Creek Grist Mill. The mill was very picturesque. Today we saw Thurmond where Matewan was filmed. Bridy Mae was not waiting at the train depot instead it was a ghost town lost in time. It was fun and educational to visit. Finally we saw the Hatfields and McCoys at Grandview State Park The park had beautiful views, rocks to explore, and a theater. The play was very good and was a great way to end the day.
