On the Sunday, August 9th, 2015 edition of The Travel Guys… This week’s edition of The Travel Guys features a visit to West Virginia. Fall is just around the corner, and West Virginia has some of the best fall colors to be found anywhere. But most of the country doesn’t know about West Virginia. What are Californians missing out on in West Virginia? Fascinating history, like the real-life Hatfields and McCoys; luxurious accommodations like the magnificent Greenbrier Resort; and at this time of the year, some of the best leaf peeper viewing in the country!
Bill Richardson, a professor at the University of West Virginia is our guest. Bill is an expert on the real life Hatfields and McCoys and will share some of the unique history of the region. Think a trip to West Virginia would be fun? Sports Leisure Vacations offers a tour in October, and you can learn more about it here.
We have a follow up on a lost luggage story we shared with you a couple of weeks ago, and it has a happy ending!
