You can check out June 7, 2010 on my blog site (http://jimsmotorcycletrips.blogspot.com/). A few additional pics on the photo tab under the 2010 Alaska Trip as I passed through WV and the New River Gorge.

If it was in WV maybe you are referring to "Fat Boy's Pork Palace" in Brandywine, WV. I have seen it but never stopped.

If it was in VA maybe you are referring to "Hank's Smokehouse" in McGaheysville, VA. I have been there and it is very good.
