Perfection

That’s what this weather report looks like to me.

It’s summer. You are supposed to sweat a little when you are outside. And look at the cool night temps— perfect for soaking in the hot tub and sleeping with the window open. Or sitting next to the fire.

Come be lazy and do stuff you do not do the rest of the year. It’s summer. Act like it.

What’s your perfect forecast?

Perfect weather!
Perfect weather!

Look at this way: vacations are about doing stuff you would not normally do, right? So let’s take a walk on a trail on a warm summer night while the sun is setting and the moon is coming up, and peer into the past in the New River Gorge. You are looking into one of the oldest rivers in the world.

We made another list. Yep, we are stuck in the 60s. That may not appeal to some of you, so let me just say there is very little tie dye and no VW busses. I saw more tie dye at 4H camp last week than I have in past 20 years…

We do have a very happy, friendly vibe. It’s easy to walk around town and find good stuff to eat and buy.

And that friendliness is for everyone! HomoClimbtastic just wrapped up. It. Was. Ossum.

Perfection

Perfection!

Define it. Too broad a question?

Let’s narrow it down to the weather, and for me this is what it looks like:

Weather in the secret season

Unless it is winter, then I want to see blizzards! Ski season is coming.

The heat of summer makes me lazy, and that makes my wife mad, so I hate hot summer days.

Every year, we have a long cool and dry spell during the end of August and first part of September. Mid 70s, no humidity and cool nights so we can leave the windows open as the night sounds lull us to sleep. This is our “Secret Season!” The Griswolds are back in school, everyone is taking a deep breath before Gauley season cranks up. So we always offer a little deal to lure folks back for another stay. This year it is the Murse package. Everyone needs one. If for no other reason than to carry around all the happiness you will find while you are here.

I am going outside to bask in some perfection.
