First stop - the old Whipple Company Store, near Oak Hill, recently repainted, which just irritated Woodhick803 to no end. This cache is part of the Haunted WV series and I suppose the owners of the old store wanted to spruce up the building just for the occasion.
In Fayetteville we tried once again to complete the Fayetteville 1/3 cache, but took a DNF again. Bummer. Poor math or misunderstanding the clue took us way in the middle of nowhere, facing NO TRESPASSING and STAY OUT signs. We thought we could hear banjo playing too.
This is a statue on Fayette County Courthouse property. The man is the Marquis de LaFayette, for whom Fayette County was named.
Not part of geocaching, but a nice find anyway. Also in Fayetteville.
The find of the day, however, was this unassuming restaurant, the Long Point Grille and Bar, near Summersville. Made from scratch food. All three of us opted for pinto beans and cornbread for lunch, with absolutely wonderful honest-to-goodness home fries. Delish! Dessert too! Wiscongranny and Woodhick chose some kind of bundt cake, but I was the winner this time. Made from the owner's grandmother's recipe Carrot Cake. OMG!!! Definitely what carrots were made for.
We found 13 caches; some guardrail caches, a walk-in-the-woods cache, small size, nano size, even a couple DNFs. A good day which, of course, ended with the obligatory stop at the Dairy Queen.

Until next time - GET OUTSIDE AND PLAY!!!
I didn't even mind the DNFs this time. Mellowing out I guess.
