After a thunderstorm. The sunset is always breathtaking though. Even on a clear day.

This picture would be beautiful framed.

Greetings, West Virginians... I am going to be spending a week in your lovely state in late July and would like suggestions on the best places to camp in the Monongahela National Forest (or any state parks in the part of the state). I don't have a big RV... just a small trailer. Any particularly outstanding campgrounds? (or, ones I should avoid?)

Thumbs Up: Blackwater Falls, Watoga

Thumbs Down: Coopers Rock (the campground, not the whole state forest)

Pictures are wonderful. I'm driving from Parkersburg to Elkins next week. In view of all the rain, need I worry about any of the roads being flooded.

Bugs: If you are really worried, pack an inflatable kayak in the trunk...Buckhannon could be high...

Once upon a time in rural long island there was a saying-- 'If the good lords willing and the creeks don't rise'. Seems that saying is more true in appalacia than anywhere. All promises made, including missing your own wedding, are contingent upon the creeks, right?

Before there were roads, the old people traveled the creeks...

I've been up the creek without a paddle a few times.....
