However, the Northern press celebrated it as an epic triumph, and this encouraged Congress to call for the drive on Richmond that ended with the Union defeat at First Bull Run in July. It brought overnight fame to Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan, and was notable for the first battlefield amputations. It also encouraged the western counties of Virginia to form their own Un...

Philippi Videos

16 Minutes in West Virginia

Footage taken during June of 2015 on a weekend trip to Marlinton, WV. Beautiful country and roads. Some moderately challenging twisties and awesome views. Great group of riders making the time even better.
My first foray into GoPro action videography. I thought I was ready!? But this trip taught me a lot about the cameras and their placement on a motorcycle. Not to mention post production and the pluses and minuses of the format. Theres still a lot to learn and I look forward to the next ride.

Scenic Places; stream at Jodie WV.MP4

I had just stopped at this public stream access on a whim today and decided to share. I shot this from the cab of my truck due to the breeze that follows the the stream bed. There is a bridge next to me so you will hear a little highway noise. I was looking for a place to gather flint for a tools video but my area is mostly sandstone and granit.

Philippi Covered Bridge, WV

07.18.09 - The Philippi Covered Bridge, spanning the Tygart River in WV, is the longest two-lane covered bridge still in use on a federal highway. The bridge was seized by union troops and used as a barracks during the first land battle of the Civil War on June 3, 1861. The war's first amputation was performed here. Wonderful history surrounds it. Notice the museum on the other side of bridge. Fantastic display of items and the woman there will tell you stories forever! This is also the location of two mummies from the late 1800s which also have quite a story! When you see bridge from the side down the river, notice how small the pick up truck below it at the water's edge looks in comparison!

Next to it is the Mount Wood Cemetery and somewhere under them both is the old mount wood train tunnel.(which I sadly could not find) when making this video I knew little of its history and only heard rumors but I recently found an article with its history here:

Mount Wood Castle & overlook is a public area and is located at: Mt Wood Rd, Wheeling, WV 26003
