Great Cacapon/Berkeley Springs WV, July 17-18, 2010

Lee & George Ross, his friend of 40+ years, head for the mountains of NE West Virginia, near Berkeley Springs..........Destination is Cox Campground, owned by George's friend......This is definately banjo-music country!!
Cacapon River, flowing into the Potomac River at the little burg of
Great Cacapon, WV - a town that's seen better days.....

Great Cacapon in the distance, with view of the Potomac River. The

C&O Canal follows the river.

Set-up at Cox Campground, carved out of a mountain top

way off the beaten path, somewhere in West Virginia.......

George's first visit to the Paw Paw Tunnel, a C&O Canal shortcut

built in the mid-1800's.....Quite the engineering feat of its day.

West end of tunnel - East entrance is 1300' away....

Berkeley Springs State Park. Hundreds of springs provide clear cool water

estimated at over 50,000 gallons a minute...........George Washington

frequented the springs and owned property nearby.....

Springs feel great on a hot day!

A stop at the waterfall in Cacapon State Park, just outside

of Berkely Springs.......
