The Devil's Tea Table in West Virginia
We went to the Devil's Tea Table last weekend, I dug up many antique pull tabs, modern beer cans, a 1993 Quarter, and a 30.06 Springfield shell casing.
The confluence of Rock Run and the Little Kanawha river was a busy spot in the pioneer days. My great-great Grandparents landed their flatboat there and dismantled it to start their first home. There are names and dates on the rocks from the 1800s to present, and a prominent preacher once gave a sermon from the top of the Tea Table, as recorded in the county history.
I've left out some pics that I felt weren't good enough and had to pare them down to 12 pics total. I promise to try and get back in the Fall when the leaves aren't so thick and my legs in good enough shape to climb up onto the Tea Table.
One day we were at the beach there and heard a small bell. It kept getting closer, until finally, a deer and Rottweiler waded across the river and headed on upriver.
The white critter in two of the pics is Lucy, the wonder dog, aka Goose, Goose Buggy, Bug, Buggy, or Buggy Girl. She will answer to any of those.
In the right of one pic you'll see my quirky ole MD and trench shovel.
