I couldn’t think of a better way to start than with a couple of my all time favorite photos. The first one is from the head of Martins Creek. Hidden in the v-shaped valley is Peachtree Road. I was hiking with my dog Sam when I took this photo. Gotta love West Virginia…

If you travel West on Rte 3 out of Glen Daniels towards Whitesville you will pass through a small town called Naoma. Naoma’s claim to fame… World Champion Marble Shooter Raymond Jarrell lives there. He runs the only service station left in the area. Anyway… just past his station there is a road that cuts off to the left called Peachtree Hollow Road. It runs with the Big Coal River upstream for about a mile before heading up into the hollows. After the road gets away from the river it follows Peachtree Creek to the head of the hollow. In the transition point where the road stops following the river and starts following the creek there is a very well hidden waterfalls. The falls is in the creek about a half mile upstream from Big Coal River. This is one of my favorite places to just go hang out for awhile taking photos and exploring the surrounding cliffs. I have never been to the falls and somebody else be there.
