Pretty Penny is a lovely cafe in Hillsboro that I never had the chance to try before it closed.



But guess what! It's back!



This restaurant serves some unique dishes, and I was particularly intrigued by one.

The Jerk Chicken Bowl featured rice and peas, chicken thigh, jerk sauce and slaw.

The sauce was served on the side, which is great. Because then you can decide how much heat you want.

And, I got to check out the Thorny Mountain Fire Tower at Seneca State Forest! How neat.

I have been wanting to try Arrowhead Bike Farm for quite some time.



They have bike rentals, are known for their brats, and have camping.

A New River Gorge gathering point for adventurers of all kinds. Outdoor dining on the deck or in our Biergarten with a variety of fresh local and national craft beer for after your paddling, biking, hiking or climbing adventure. Our campground is conveniently located near the Arrowhead stacked-loop trail system and the Long Point Trail giving you the opportunity to hike or bike right from your campsite into the New River Gorge. We are also ideally located near Kaymoor Top, a premier rock climbing location, and public put-in and take-out for boating on the Lower New River.

I was lucky to attend an event here where I got to taste some delicious tacos, veggie sides and more!

Granny's Kitchen in Frametown has changed names a few times, but one thing remains: the great homestyle cooking.



Not only do they have a restaurant, but they have a walk-up ice cream window. Mmm.



I was just passing through, so I went simple: A West Virginia-style hot dog.



Hot dog with chili, slaw, mustard and onions on a grilled bun.



The peanut surprise - like a Peanut Buster Parfait from DQ - had vanilla soft serve, peanuts and hot fudge.



Quick hike to Alum Cave Trail in Audra State Park.

Lil' Moes is a Philippi restaurant that has been around for quite some time.



It's a bar atmosphere, and it's long and narrow but with a surprising amount of space.



I wasn't super hungry, but I definitely wanted to get a bite to eat. I ordered boneless wings (I know, I know, but they're easier to eat).



These are honey bbq with bleu cheese.



I never eat the celery - because it may be the worst vegetable ever created - but if you're eating hot wings, it can be a godsend.



AND DON'T LOOK BELOW if mummies scare you.



I checked out the mummies at the Barbour Historical Museum!

The Fairview is a restaurant that commands your attention driving along the highway.



With its fun purple font and big size, it's one of not very many sights along this stretch.



The restaurant features mostly comfort food items that will fill you up for most of the day.



This is a "Boat" with turkey and chicken gravy on toast and mashed potatoes.



See what I mean?



Small part of the North Bend Rail Trail in Pennsboro!
