Coopers Rock State Forest - about 180 miles from home. At over 12,000 acres, the largest state forest in WV. Named for a fugitive barrel maker, he plied his trade in these remote hills for many decades before being caught. Jon & Terry from OH joined us, as did the Goodspeed clan from Columbia MD.
Looking down on the Cheat River.....further upstream, it's a well known river for white water kayaking and rafting.
Enroute, we stopped at the C&O Canal museum in Cumberland.
Kathy learns how canal boat families lived on board their boats....Not quite as fancy as living in a 32 year old motorhome!
The museum is also the terminal for the Western Maryland scenic railroad.
At Coopers Rock, we ran across a rock climbing school in session. They invited the Goodspeed gang to join them......
"So, who knows the way outta here?"......
