WEST VIRGINIA TOURS IN 2023

I've been driving to West Virginia multiple times every year for the past 14 years to enjoy the wonderful roads there. In 2023, I drove around that "Wild and Wonderful State" the most often and over the greatest distance within one year ever -- eight times, covering about 8,000 miles altogether.

Seven of my WV drives were 2-day, 3-day or 4-day private tours that I shared with a few friends, while one was a daylong Porsche Club of America tour for PCA members, mostly from the Maryland-based Chesapeake Region.

I purposely excluded from this gallery most of the people photos I took during the private events. On the other hand, I am including here a group photo from the Porsche Club tour since that has already been published online. The images here constitute about 68 percent of the pictures that I included in a photo book that I made available to my private-tour participants.

All the photos here have been resized for online viewing. Note that the images and other content here are protected by copyright laws. All rights are reserved. Unauthorized use, copying, printing or direct linking is prohibited.

THE PICTURES HERE CAN ALSO BE VIEWED AS A SELF-ADVANCING SLIDESHOW, BUT MINUS THE TECHNICAL AND OTHER DETAILS. SEE THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER OF THIS WINDOW. HAPPY VIEWING! <<<
