Camping 2025 has begun

Camping has begun for 2025. We're hooked up and ready to go. Don't worry- I did fold the steps up.

This is our site at Grayson Lake State Park. It's only a little over an hour from home, but we always stay close for the first trip of the year in case something goes wrong.

The only issue we had was the distance to the water hydrant. We had 75 feet of hose and it was about 100 to the hookup. We had  to make a trip to the local hardware store and pick up another hose so we could reach.

We visited the Benko Glass Company in Milton West Virginia and took a tour. We saw the glass melting furnaces and mixing areas first. 

Then we went on the production floor and saw how the made the pieces, blowing some air into the molten glass so it would form each different piece they made.

They had a "garden of glass" in back of the visitor's center with the colors and different  things they made.

Sorry about the duplicate picture.

They also made glass bricks and panels for decorations.

They also did some beautiful stuff with making stained glass windows.

This is the room that they started the tour from with some amazing windows they made.
