One of my favorite places in all of West Virginia is surely Babcock State Park... 
The boys had a good time learning to skip stones with Daddy. 
And as for that elusive coal that John wanted to find to take back to his first grade class, he found a ton of it in the river at Babcock! We could only collect as much as our hands could hold, because we forgot our handy bag in the car. But hopefully, his friends and teacher will be much impressed...Kara
