"Fruit colors are still deep. Shades of blue. Start here with the blowout. Victory gavin newsom holds onto his governorship appears. We enjoyed it overwhelmingly. No vote tonight here in the state of california and he did it with two things. Democrats are most scared of the corona virus and donald trump will break down the results. Doctors aren't just asking for more hospital beds. they're asking for smaller ones. We had to pause admitting patients to the hospital. As we couldn't find rooms youngsters. Flooding emergency rooms will go to a state suffering from back to school jitters and the pandemic made us poorer. So why did fewer people go into poverty. That's five and a half million. People were lifted out of poverty that now face the risk of poverty again. A corona nominees might affect how you're lawmakers vote from. Abc news. the start here. i'm brad mielke. It was considered a joke until suddenly it wasn't a joke at all as ballast are being sent out to every registered voter across california polls show governor gavin newsom locked in a tight race for next month's recall election an effort to recall california's democratic governor gavin. Newsom made its way to a vote in recent weeks and once. Your job is on the ballot. You have to clear. Fifty percent fifty percent of voters saying yes removed the governor and you're out fifty percent say no don't remove him he can stay will. Fifty percent is kind of a tough bar to clear for any sitting official president. Biden's approvals already dropped below fifty percent governor. Who's done nothing but that stuff for the state. I don't think he put the kids first for the whole entire year. We'll governor gavin. Newsom survived just two hours left as that state votes is. The votes came in last night. There was the sense that anything could happen. In the nation's most populous state of pretty small amount of votes have yet been counted. The knows are in the lead by a pretty wide margin. Seventy two to twenty eight percent but that is a very small number of votes still just eight. Oh six but less than an hour after polls closed last night we learned that gavin newsom has survived appears. We are enjoying overwhelmingly. No vote tonight here in the state of california. They're still more questions to be asked. So let's take you straight to southern california this morning we're abc's chief national correspondent matt gutsiness based man. What put new some over the top larryelder put newsom over the top Larryelder is the prime opponent conservative talk show host who has been like into a trump clone by president biden by gavin newsom and others and says that trump's election two thousand sixteen was basically. God sent you tell you told cnn about shenanigans so far in this race. Do you believe that there's so. Many people are going to vote to recall this man. I don't think we're gonna have to worry about the result of this election. So he was in many ways the perfect foil and the fact that at some point over the summer probably august democrats started to pay attention to this. Why do we have to do what we have to do. The democratic machine rolled into action gavin. Newsom rain raised seventy million dollars for his campaign is the clone of donald trump. Can you imagine him. Being governor of the state and people started getting those mail in ballots to their mailboxes. Which is how every registered active voter in california gets them these days and they started voting california to not have this republican takeover hop and not believing women's rights very strongly and i don't want something like texas to occur. Here's and now we're seeing this resounding victory just to put this in context. Newsom won his governorship with sixty two percent of the vote in two thousand eighteen and it seems that he's gonna get an overwhelming majority of votes for no which means keep him in office very likely significantly higher than what he won in the two thousand eighteen race for governor wearing got sixty two percent vow. And so what does this mean for california. Then there's just status quo. Everyone like just do. Your job is normal everything. Everyone actually never happened. Yeah minus the two hundred and seventy six million dollars in taxpayer money that was spent to have these recall elections but yes essentially status quo ante. He's still the governor. Nothing changes for him. And so i'm humbled and grateful to the millions and millions of californians. That exercise their fundamental right. He runs again in two thousand twenty two. We think and we think. At least larry elder has hinted that he is going to be his opponent in two thousand twenty two for the gop. Let's let's make racist be gracious in defeat by the way we may have lost the battle but we are going to win. The war is the real legacy then man. I wonder if the real legacy of this going to be the reaction to it from conservatives from the right wing because the the idea among a lot of trump supporters including president trump himself. That because larry elder lost here even though it's a solidly blue state. Even though he's a far right radio host barely polling twenty percents as far as people who wanted to vote for amir even with this decisive result that somehow this result can't possibly be legitimate. Is that going to be the thing that we're all talking about for the next several days. Yeah i do think that the legacy is going to be rising concern of voter fraud and rising concern about concern voter fraud. Here's have you been doing elections. Almost two decades has there ever been this much scrutiny about the process. Yeah i mean. I keep thinking that the next year we'll have less scrutiny but it just keeps growing. We're at the orange county election headquarters. They're processing probably about almost nine hundred thousand votes. We noticed a really large number of sheriff's deputies and. We assumed that they were here to protect the ballots to protect the integrity of this vote but the registrar disabused us of that by telling us that no. They're actually here to protect the election workers. I think it's it's becoming a troublesome narrative as i mentioned And i will tell you that. Any lecture official. That tells you that fraud is not on our mind. And we're not looking at those. Things has their head in the sand so much. Has the tension risen over election fraud that they apparently have credible threats about being attacked just for working in the elections and processing ballots. They're not making policy. So yeah that is the rise of concern that every time. It seems that a republican candidate might be losing an election. they will preemptively begin to claim. Fraud really weakening the very institution that they're vying for this democracy so there's a major concern about that especially from the people like the california secretary of state and the registrar here the people who actually do the elections and run them. They are very concerned about this trent. Swipe was so notable that before the election before votes been counted. Larry elder was talking about the election. Being rigged did not seem to backtrack that with our own zoran shop at. Something's changed where last night he did. Go ahead and admit defeat to his supporters.

"It's monday august thirtieth. The lights are out but the levees are up. We start here. New orleans is seen everything but it hasn't seen wins like this in more than a century. Third was not going to be an issue. Flash flooding and wind was really the story for new orleans to life or death test of the city's infrastructure and our team is on the ground. That wasn't the only scary warning of the weekend. Nobody's writing this off and saying well. We got them so we don't have to worry about isis katie fearing more terror attacks in kabul the. Us struck not once but twice. Scientists have created multiple vaccines for it handling corona viruses is inherently risky in accidents. Do happen so why can't they figure out still. We're cova came from from abc news. This start here. I'm brad mielke sixteen years ago when one word became etched in our memories forever. That word was katrina. Hurricane katrina seems destined to be the most costly natural disaster in american history. People who thought they were unscathed katrina woke up to rising floodwaters. The hurricane made landfall over southern louisiana on august twenty ninth. The levees broke later that day over this past weekend. Sixteen years later to the day. A new storm slammed into new orleans. And if it's possible to believe this one was even stronger that monster hurricane ida roaring ashore this category four hurricane slamming into the us. This sunday making landfall just before one. Pm eastern this afternoon. We're still as this morning. Getting fuller sense of exactly. How much damage is littered around new orleans as the storm has north. But we were able to make contact with. Abc's chief meteorologist. Ginger zee overnight. Is the center of the storm was hitting new orleans. Ginger if you're safe there can you just tell me what you're seeing right now. I mean in new orleans itself. This was tough to watch because people were terrified right now. It is just darkness. New orleans says the entire city is without power. And that's because of a transmission failure. They're calling catastrophic. I'm so glad that the people south of here that are not protected by levees most of them in the mandatory evacuation zones listened. Because that's where we saw the most damage there was growing concern in grand isle louisiana. The images of water rushing into homes there so the surge is very high the roads have been impassable for a while the storm surge the highest in that ten to sixteen foot range right where we anticipated to be met dirty right side of the storm in new orleans itself. It's all about the wind. Those incredible wind speeds gusting ninety plus miles per hour taking down. We saw debris flying through canal street. We ginger. I'm sorry it sounds insane behind you like there's not piped in sound we're not adding this on our. What is happening where you are. There are still signs because if you've been on canal street it's all these signs that are saying. Hey come to our bar come over to this party but this one was a steel sign. I don't know what it was even advertising jeweler. I can see just a corner of it and it's ripping apart. It's deafening with the whistle of the winds plus these loud bangs that are coming from all these pieces of steel rolling down the street. There's a lot of focus on the city's upgraded levees but there's also a lot of concern about the flood. Water that could accumulate right here. Within the protected area. The city's palm will no doubt be put to the test thankfully because of the work. They did in engineering post katrina. Surge was not going to be an issue. Flash flooding and wind was really the story for new orleans. It was going to say so it stronger than katrina. That's as far as wind right. So was this a test for new orleans infrastructure. And from what you're looking at did it pass see. Here's where that's difficult to put these two storms up next to each other because they came to shore in a very different way. Geographically katrina went from south to north like a due south to north so it built all of the flooding into mississippi. Remember katrina was mississippi storm when it comes to storm surge. They had up to twenty eight feet of storm. Surge i was there in gulfport saw a hundred and fifty people in just that town die in the immediate storm. But you said it. New orleans happened hours later. It was an engineering fail. So they were on the left side of hurricane katrina now since then everything has been fixed so this is a levy. It looks like just a big hill. A lot of grass on on the other side is the mississippi river. It has been built up since katrina. It can now handle up to twenty feet of storm surge and ida came in at a different angle more of kind of a southeast to northwest trend and that pushed a lot of that really horrific storm surge not into the mouth of the mississippi where it had an katrina and intimacy itself but rather into the group of louisiana those low lying marshlands that are not protected whatsoever. They don't have the balls in the levees right into their where. It absorbed a lot of the surge before it could get up to lake pontchartrain and the mississippi river. So that's the good news and the difference between katrina and data harare. Gosh rude now at the close on rock dam as you could see a real significant water here already when you go sound from saint bernard parish to plant them in perish. You don't have that protection. And that's where the concern is or where you know if people stayed. Did they survive. Roy male railroad at forty five miles an hour sustained. Winds are first. Responders cannot get to. You is smaller. Communities south and west of new orleans really will be where we see the worst stories come from today ginger zee there in the thick of it all.

"It's monday august sixteenth and before we even left the country. Afghanistan is now under taliban control. We start here. A twenty year saw that comes to an end as fighters take over kabul this the taliban of one game over our team is on the ground as a new era takes. Hold asking how president biden's predictions unraveled. It's back to school season unless your classmates already have ovid are i use are full. Our children are getting airlifted. Out of harris. County would an alarming wise and child hospitalizations. Tell us about the delta variant. And just because they're tough to find doesn't mean they're not the biggest wildfires in the world. There's a fear that as it continues you get into the sort of feedback where it gets harder and harder. The earth is getting hotter. So what happens when the birth below. You is made of ice from abc news. This start here here. I'm brad mielke tally. Bon takeover of afghanistan now inevitable. It is not. This was president biden in july at the white house less than six weeks ago as he was. Withdrawing troops from afghanistan and the afghan troops have three hundred thousand well equipped as well as any army in the world and an air force. The natural concern of course was won't the american withdrawal empower. The taliban and biden was dismissive. Where do they go from here. That the jury is still out. But the likelihood there's going to be the taliban overrunning everything and owning the whole country is highly unlikely again. This was not even six weeks ago last week. The taliban took control of afghanistan's third largest city. Herod's they took over the second largest city can to heart. These cities are not close together. The taliban that was over running everything and eventually within a few days the only question was could the afghan government hold onto. Its capital of kabul. Will yesterday we got the answer to that question. Helicopters and black smoke visible american diplomats including the ambassador evacuated to the airport at least five hundred staff leaving the country so far the embassy shuttered the flag coming down in the span of less than twenty four hours. The city that the us entered nearly twenty years ago fell back under taliban control. We are taking you to the epicenter of all this morning. We are on the ground in kabul. Where a senior foreign correspondent ian panel has been taking all this with his own eyes. Ian four days ago you and i were talking about kandahar asking whether kabul could ever fall in weeks or days. What has happened since then. Yeah i mean wouldn't incredible week certainly over the weekend of first of all they take herat this big western city then. They take canada the second largest city in the country. Then there are only really to hold outs missouri sharieff in the north jalalabad just to the east of the capital suddenly missouri sharieff which was supposed to be the big hole. Doubt it was weather. Resistance was going to be mounted against taliban essentially cave to the taliban and jalalabad they handed over power to the taliban without a shot being fired and by the time we landed in kabul on sunday morning it was only kabul left pentagon tonight has now revealed it as sending three thousand american troops back into kabul to help remove a significant number of us embassy personnel as the taliban now sweeps across the country became defacto that very morning the last standing major city in the country full and we heard the taliban were applegate's and then of beans choices. Let this before suddenly panic and rumor-mongering starts to set and paranoia and these dangerous things. Suddenly suddenly people think that they seem them. In the city. Police stopped to abandon. That men in uniform starts take off those uniforms and on local dress when finally we got a message from the taliban who said we are outside the gates of the city. We're not going to go into the city per with sending a delegation to the presidential palace. At which point the writings on the wool. This is over. They are able to drive up to the presidential pilots meet with the presidency and senior political leadership then surely all better off the taliban and their backers should know that force is not the way to compile enough one to set mission later emerges the president ashraf ghani the man who is held out all this time refusing to elections refusing to meet with the taliban refusing to move out of the way refusing to admit the town of. I'm gonna win. He's left the country we and he left the country and because he thinks he's gonna get killed or kidnapped her. What well we've just had an explanation from him as to as to why. He said he left the country. He left the country to protect the rest of the country. Well he's number. Two was immediately going taking twitter. Issue video statements Essentially accusing betrayal. How madonna nazis taliban fighters behind the desk of the presidential palace. The taliban are in a process of some kind of provisional government no be some form of elections or tribal meetings where they will decide what the future government is but make no mistake. This is it. The taliban have one game over. There's no more debates about what is going to happen. The future afghanistan the taliban sweeping to power the tana. Bana here. they're in town. They're at the doors. We and then in. I know that the us has been withdrawing troops but we still have people in the country right like our american diplomats or even servicemembers. Are they about to get taken hostage. And they've got to get killed. What are the. What are the risks for americans there. No it's one of the width things. That's happening at the moment and again the taliban would have you think about them have been very politically savvy about this. We had a very good conversation with the leader of the taliban today. And they're looking to get this ended and we're looking to get it ended ever since the us announced its withdrawal. They've not attacked. Us troops pulling out. Given that american troops. America is the great nemesis straps all of this They stood to onside. Allowed the americans to leave knowing that that would allow them to get to this point where they were. Empowering inch of these provincial capitals fall. i've been to probably every single one of them with our soldiers and marines over the years. And i have talked to many of them in the past few days. Many are horrified horrified. Mostly because we're leaving afghan partners afghan interpreters and those who helped the us behind and those soldiers and marines feel very helpless about that. So even as i'm talking to you come here in the background. There chinook helicopters constantly ferrying people back and forth to the apple c. One thirties transport aircraft commercial aircraft ferrying. Us diplomats civilians minute scenes of total chaos at the airport. I have a friend and afghan friend. Who's trying to get out with his family today. The traffic was so bad. You had to get out the calm. And you've seen this in the movies to get out the car with his family ditches luggage and they will have to run to the apple and in the end. The airport security abandoned their posts of the security situation deteriorated. There was some kind of skirmishing some fighting going on a live ended up having to retreat in that the now hiding in a different location in kabul these people who run the fifth of their lives. So how did this happen so quickly. What we've been told that this would be orderly. Were americans lied to were was our intelligence just way off about the taliban capabilities or did the taliban somehow get way stronger.

Many weren't to some democrats joe biden to seem kind of law to which some analysts said. You know who would be a way better choice. The one governor who's crushing at the most right now is andrew cuomo after all. The governor of new york was quickly becoming a democratic idol seemed to have covert under control minus some weird numbers at nursing homes and tracing testing and tracing testing and tracing and we need the federal government to work with us on that.

Then we got word on tuesday morning that the governor himself had flown from albany to new york city. We didn't know why but we assume that he wanted to make some kind of a statement. Nobody vetted through the report. And i want to spend some time talking about it. Then the governor's office told us it was only going to be his attorney that ended up speaking publicly and she took down and took aim at the the investigative report and said it was unfair to the governor. Good morning let me as she speaking comes word that the governor himself was going to make a statement like to address several issues today and at that point he was able to get out his version of events. Tell his own story. Government really needs to function today government needs to perform and then ultimately say it was time for him to step aside and i think that given the circumstances the best way i can help now is if i step aside and let government get back to governing and therefore that's what i'll do and the governor's announcement i think a window into his thinking. It was straightforward and laying out precisely. What cuomo wanted to do and my instinct is to fight through this controversy. Because i truly believe it is politically motivated. He wanted to make clear that. This was normal behavior of gregarious italian that he learned from his parents in my mind. I've never crossed the line with anyone. But i didn't realize the extent to which the line has been redrawn and yet it became increasingly clear. Since the attorney general's report came out last week. Bread that the the governor was on an island and he lost all meaningful political support and it was so striking reading this report. Errand that wasn't just accusations about kissing people on the hand when he wasn't supposed to it was about sexual harassment. And not just even that allegedly that if you had the gall to tell people what actually happened to you. You retaliated against by the governor and his team as they're all talking about the power of the metoo movement so he's still denying any misconduct but how his accusers reacting here. That's been the whole in governor cuomo's public statements so far is that what was described in the report and alleged by eleven women is more than casual hugs and kisses in some cases. They say it's groping. I didn't do it consciously with the female trooper. I did not mean any sexual connotation i did not mean any intimacy by it. It was telling that part of governor cuomo's public statement when he was talking about the allegation from the state trooper for the first time. He said that he didn't recall touching her back or her stomach. As alleged and that part of his statement seemed to have an audience of five the five district attorney's around the state who are still considering whether cuomo's behavior warrants criminal charges. What was the culture words that witnesses have used repeatedly to describe it include toxic hostile abusive. But it wasn't just that cuomo was found to have sexually harassed eleven women others use. Words like fear intimidation bullying vindicated. Investigators also said that in the case of at least one lindsay boylan the governor and his aides orchestrated a campaign of of retaliation. Right after her accusations became public. It was a culture where you could not see no to the governor and if you if you upset him or his him or his senior staff you'll be written off cast aside. Were getting email after email on my cell phone from just about every politician new york city in the greater new york area. They are all trying to distance themselves from the governor right now using this is long overdue. We're happy to hear about the resignation or his accusers. They a number of them put a public statements to say that this was the outcome they were hoping for and a number of elected officials credited the women for coming forward to lead to an outcome that the state attorney general the teasha james put it in her statement will mean a new start for new york. What happens next then. If for this new start for new york is their new governor. You get a special election. I know cuomo wanted to run again right. I assume that's done. It was always andrew. Cuomo's dream to outlast his father's legacy and become a four term governor. Which does now not seem possible instead in about two weeks he will step down when his resignation becomes effective. And kathy. hoke. The lieutenant governor who is next in the line of succession will take his place and she is a much different animal here. I probably know the state rather than anybody. Because i've spent so much time in new york city but also the rural areas and the finger lakes and the north country because she was not born into a political dynasty at the side of her father but comes from a town council in in western new york she briefly served in congress she served in in state agencies and has been lieutenant governor and so she really is coming in.

"They are. What's covered and what's not so hippest stands for the health insurance portability and accountability act. Privacy is not actually in even in the name of the law It's a nineteen ninety-six federal law. It's basically super widely cited and just as widely misunderstood. I mean eh sense. It prevents certain specific entities like hospitals health insurance companies health companies general and a few other from sharing your protected health information without your permission but it's also super chorus and Absolutely does not say anywhere that people cannot ask you about your tax nation status. That's patently false. An example of a an entity that's covered under hip. A would be your doctor. Your doctor for example cannot share your blood test results without permission. Your pharmacist can't call up your employer and tell them what medications you're on like there are some incentives any which your health information is protected but it's much narrower than most people think and it's typically covers health insurance companies healthcare providers health practitioners not private citizens not employers usually so the experts that you talked about say the main misuse of hip is by entities. Who want to kind of hide the ball. If they feel that they have numbers are going to make them look bad and one of the things that they talk about is what happened in nursing homes in the early days of covert explained a little bit more about that something. I've actually run up against as a health reporter a number of times over the course of my career even prior to code Know go to a hospital. And i asked for some information about what's happening there. And they say they can't give me that information. It hippo hippo only covers identifiable patient information so in the case of kobe there were major outbreaks at nursing homes and journalists. Were asking the hospital. How many patients died in your hospital. That's not covered under hit but they can absolutely give you the identified number of plan to death and in some instances. I think that the health law experts agreed with me. I think that some entities are using it to their advantage there purposely sort of misunderstanding or misusing this law in order to hide numbers. That don't necessarily look good for them. They're absolutely our privacy concerns. A lot of this has just about whether or not things are covered under this specific law. So when we're talking about being asked about your vaccination status like there are actually some legally dicey things about asking those questions but it's just not covered under hit by and i think that's what people misunderstand most not that there aren't privacy concerns. It's not the other laws a couple of privacy. It's just that hit is so much more narrow than people understand. Aaron shoemaker has written this article called what is a hippo violation.

I'm sherry preston coming up at olympics unlike any other and the titanic shakeup in the world of soccer but first we got the last month's unemployment numbers this week almost a million new jobs created in july and the unemployment rate has fallen to five point. Four percent a better than expected. Report as the country treads carefully forward throughout the summer. A lot of americans have returned to their favorite vacation spots but many of those places have been scrambling to find workers in the few months of the year. They can really make money. Abc's dear bolton traveled to rehoboth beach delaware this summer to bring us the story. Benjamin gray has called this stretch along the atlantic home his entire life working at the bell more in and spine rehoboth beach delaware for the last seven years. Nothing compares to the stress.

Ben like then for you to meet demands typically for this hotel we have anywhere from ninety to one hundred employees on a regular basis and this summer are currently right now. I have approximately twenty five open possessions. So we're looking at around seventy five associates to get through. The busiest summer that we've ever seen is desperate to fill those empty positions. People aren't coming through the door to apply for the jobs order. Show up for their interview. They make an interview of women and then they just don't show up last two weeks alone. I had sixteen. No-shows interviews be had thirty appointments and out of those thirty people. We had ten show. That's crazy hotels restaurants and other businesses that survived the pandemic are now facing a new challenge struggling to find and hire employees. They need job. Openings in the us have soared with more than nine million positions available in places like rehoboth beach which sees four million visitors. During the june. July and august peak. The struggle to find workers is everywhere. The drive down coastal highway. Which is the primary highway that'll get you to every single beach and in the state of delaware you'll notice everybody that has a marquee. We'll say now hiring their wages range anywhere from thirteen dollars an hour all the way to twenty two dollars an hour with also a signing bonus. If they're willing to give you a thousand dollars to come into the door. While some potential workers are juggling childcare issues others remain concerned about cuvette infection.

Virginia was named the country's sixty third national park. As part of the december cohen nineteen relief bill and although always well known regionally it has quickly turned into a popular outdoor destination.

Sherry took eleven hours of driving through the rain to reach this city of beckley west virginia where we stayed. It's located about half an hour. South of the rim visitors center the first op journey through the new river gorge or as locals. Were calling it. The new covert restrictions limited capacity in the center but there was still long line to get in even on a wet overcast. Weekend we got the sense. The word was out and first time visitors like us. We're going to be scattered throughout the park. We're leaving the canon visitor's center. I way the car to the endless rim trail jairo. It's called endless while thank you. We drove just around the corner to begin hiking the endless wall trail a moderate incline leading hikers up high above the flowing new river. This is tight mountain goat. Welcome right along the edge. Oh my god. This is so cool. There was a lot of that kind of reaction on this trip and we weren't the only ones impressed. It's actually a lot bigger than we first thought we met jen. Imax hikers from the pittsburgh area doesn't feel like you're three hours outside of pittsburgh. wow okay. that's all that is from there. Three hours they had new river gorge circled on their bucket list but said the national park designation did prompt their visit. I think it put more of an urgency just for like wanting to cross off my list. But it's been on his list for years. Yeah so we were definitely gonna come here no matter what like you said in the visitor center almost shipping a canon ball. The grand canyon of the east endless wall didn't just offer some great views of the river and trees literally up at diamonds. Point after our conversation with our new friends from pittsburgh can see the new river gorge bridge. Which is the bridge in west. Virginia which we drove over unexpectedly did not realize who. You're doing three thousand foot. Steel behemoth is one of the largest single span arch bridges in the entire world. It's almost a thousand feet high in a state landmark and it's kind of everywhere you see it on postcards you can even see it depicted on one side of their state quarter and we wanted to go see the bridge up close then we would descend down to the new river but on our way we met a couple of first time hikers of the new just like us a couple of chapters of quick which is queer focused. Climbing group brendan helana. Were part of the group. Elena had been to a few national parks. Ourself into the grand canyon acadia. National park is sanity according to their leader. Brian though the new river gorge might be getting more attention. Now that it's a national park but for those who live in the surrounding area. The secrets kind of been out. I mean hasn't changed. Hiking hasn't changed. My knowledge right at the end of the trail head saw the river from very high point. Wouldn't wanna fall when wanna climb the winding drive to. The bridge was slow and steady her in the one way road. Fate station road going to the bridge but didn't take too long. There's the bridge right under it. Wow assumption wow that is so cool. Now you could walk under that and you can dare-devils are harnessed and can walk across one of the steel beams. Along the middle of the bridge but we were going to save that for our next visit by the way the wildlife as you can imagine is diverse in populated whitetail deer black bears. You might even spot a bald eagle. If you're lucky by what we were really hoping to see was a beaver they are around and we almost did see one. Right by the bridge beaver. Oh my god but that's when we really started show. We were from new york new york after our foe beaver spotting. We continued our descent from the bridge housing. I don't even know bridges talk about. This is an area rich in history and that happened to be the one hundred thirty two year old fayette station bridge that crosses the new river which we finally reach off. Y'all called the water. It's and of course as one can expect in west. Virginia spotted a train travelling along the tracks right next to the river and of course it was carrying coal. The thing i love about this exactly what. I picked her when i think west. Virginia everything. I'm telling you happened over the course of three to four hours. There's so much more to do and see here from old coal mines to countless natural wonders to adventurous activities. It's hard to fit it all in forty eight hours. The next day we worked our way up the distance of the park to hike several trails. We began in the southeastern corner at the sandstone falls boardwalk and were introduced to the new river's largest waterfall. That spanned fifteen hundred feet. We then drove west to tiptoe longside. The fortress brock wall in exposed coal seams on the castle rock trail. This is really really cool. This is so different and got her postcard. Shot.
