Thursday we traveled to Adam's Landing Marina in Huntington, WV. There we met up with Kelly and Terri who keep their boat, "In Deep Ship", at our home port during the winter. They took us to a great restaurant in Huntington called The Black Sheep Burrito and Brews. This restaurant is known for it's specialty tacos and burritos. They had about 15 different varieties of tacos. Our favorites were the Baja Fish and the Hawaiian. Take a look at the menu: http://www.urbanspoon.com/cities/167/restaurants/1623718/menu_photos/303729
Friday took us back into our home port "cruising grounds". We passed the Southernmost point in the state of Ohio - South Point. Not quite the same view as the Southernmost Point in the United States found in Key West.

We also passed a "famous" river - The Big Sandy. This river is formed by Levisa Fork and Tug Fork. Near Tug Fork one of the most notorious family feuds occurred between the Hatfields of West Virginia and the McCoys of Kentucky.

We decided to celebrate our Fourth of July in Ashland, KY anchored out with our friend Howard and his step-son, Ryan. Howard cruised up to Ashland on his boat, "Something Special", from our home port, Holiday Point Marina. Ashland, KY hosts Summer Motion with a free concert and fireworks on the water. Many come to the festivities, both by land and by water. Seeing the fireworks on the water is spectacular. It was a GREAT celebration !
