A Little Hike Around Rocky Gap State Park

A Little Hike Around Rocky Gap State Park  on my way back from DC. This is the second time in a month I've driven right on by some of the best mountain biking in the US without a bike. It hurt deep in my gut. Don't laugh - I'm serious!

Maybe a six mile loop around the lake that somebody has put put some time into. Plus some good old fashioned Maryland/WV haul roads that lead to who knows where and will require some badassery.

Cool info on the American Chestnut ^
I'll have two or three of these someday. ^
My buddy the turkey vulture. One winged and friendly as hell!








Hit by a car and never to fly again.






The park maintains a cool raptor aviary for injured and recovering birds.

 I'm thinking Rocky Gap will be a cool stopover point for a mountain biking trip to DC next time I go to see my son: Cooper's Rock, a quick loop at Rocky Gap, then Gambrill/Frederick Watershed, then either head back PA and hit up the stuff there, or go south to Harrisonburg and Roanoke. EPIC.
