See one of West Virginia's most beautiful state parks near the peak of autumn color. I used two GoPro video cameras at three locations on the Miata. While it may appear I am speeding, most of the route was taken at 12-15mph and almost none above 20 mph. The wide angle lens of the GoPro gives the impression of greater speed, but this is an optical illusion. If you can't watch the entire video, fast forward to 8:47 to see the old grist mill, and to 9:36 for the scenic overlook. For best results imagine you taking this ride with the top down. It was. This is a Steve Russell video.
