West Virginia’s untamed woodlands, mountains, and clean flowing rivers, creeks, and streams attract visitors from across the United States. For the same reasons, it also offers plenty of recreational opportunities for its residents, including rafting, kayaking, hunting, trapping, fresh water fishing, camping, and hiking. Its scenic railroads that snake through the green, rolling hills of the Appalachians offer something new to see at every turn, especially during the different seasons. Downhill skiing is also popular in the winter months. And there’s no lack of cultural events, including the Bourbonsville Fall Festival, the Paw Paw Festival, the Mason Dixon Festival, and the Clay County Golden Delicious Festival, just to name a few. Homemade apple pies, yum! Its numerous Civil War reenactments let folks travel back in time witness the rivalry of the blue and the gray, while teaching both young and old the struggles and triumphs that led to the birth of our great nation. And if you haven’t seen New River Gorge Bridge, the longest steel arched bridge in the world; Organ Cave, the third largest cave in the States; the hot natural spas of Berkeley Springs; and picturesque Kanawha Falls, you’re really missing out. You don’t have travel far within its borders to see what the best of The Mountain State really has to offer. |

| Travel Auctions-Fun Way to Bargain Travel |
By now you’ve probably used an online booking site like Expedia or Travelocity. These sites are easy to use and often offer great deals on travel packages, hotels, car rentals, and flights. But, there is an even more fun and easy way to book your travels online! Consider participating in a travel auction! Online travel auction sites allow users to bid on a variety of travel deals and may offer greater savings than other online travel sites. Just like any other auction site, users search for and then bid on specific “items” during the bidding period, when the bidding period ends the user with the highest bid wins the item. Typically, travel details are entered after a winner is chosen. Here are some helpful tips for using a travel auction site: *Be patient. Travel auction sites are getting very popular and some people are bidding way over cost but deals can still be found if you are patient. *Read all the fine print, as there may be taxes and fees that can increase the price. Sometimes the increase can be quite significant so you should consider the total cost (after tax and fees) when bidding for an item. *Be flexible. Travel auctions are not ideal for travelers that require traveling on specific dates. Sometimes you may purchase the item and then chose dates at a later date. *It may be helpful to know on average what the cost would be through a travel agent or other site. If the bids get too high, it may be easier to go elsewhere. *See if there are any auction alert systems available on the site. Use this function to track your auctions. If available, it may be beneficial to see how items have been selling in the past. This can help you establish a maximum bidding price. Sometimes booking travel and planning may be boring and tedious but with travel auctions, you can have fun while getting a great deal. To get started check out skyauctions.com! |

| A trip to West Virginia, dubbed The Mountain State, is truly a walk on the wild side, thanks to its untamed wilderness of woodlands, mountains, and clean flowing rivers, creeks, and streams where rafting, kayaking, boating, tubing, hunting, trapping, and fresh water fishing bring in people from all over the country and beyond. Its unique blend of local arts, crafts, and music are sure to amaze and entertain, as is its long heritage as a coal producing capital, and its extensive system of scenic railroads that snake through the green, rolling hills of the Appalachian Mountains. Many of its small town gems offer quaint bed and breakfasts, family-owned inns, cozy cabins, and down-home cooking, as well as camping and hiking opportunities. Downhill skiing and snowboarding are also popular activities during the winter months. West Virginians are also famous for their festivals, like the Bourbonsville Fall Festival, the Paw Paw Festival, the Mason Dixon Festival, and the Clay County Golden Delicious Festival, where you’ll taste some of the most delicious homemade apple pies in the country. And that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There are also several Civil War reenactments and battlefields throughout the state where visitors can travel back in time to witness the battles of the blue and the gray. Other sites include the New River Gorge Bridge, the longest steel arched bridge in the world; Organ Cave, the third largest cave in the States; the hot natural spas of Berkeley Springs; its many state and national parks, and picturesque Kanawha Falls.
