Our consulting practice is growing beyond north central West Virginia; in the last month I and members of the staff have found ourselves in the central and southern parts of the state.  It is not uncommon to put 400 to 500 miles on the company vehicle is any one day.

The last two days I have spent time on the road.  The trip started in Lewisburg, WV; a quaint town some 180 miles from Morgantown voted the 2011 coolest town in America, working on Carnegie Hall.  The other stops on the return north included Camp Wood a CCC  historic site and the Pearl S, Buck Birthplace.  My overnight stop involved battling 30 mile an hour winds and a snow storm to get to a friend's condo on Snowshoe Mountain that we are developing a renovation plan for.  This morning I awoke to four inches of snow and a cold walk to inspect a restaurant project, the Sunset Cantina, with in the Snowshoe Mountain Village.

Some days I feel more like a road warrior rather than an architect but it is a great feeling to be the consultant of choice for so of the most significant properties in West Virginia.
