Dan kept his word from Hoop's and did not go up Field Street. Of course this
doesn't mean a thing about down Field Street or any of the other hills in the
area. We never seem to reach the top when Dan is the hare….

This week Don will guide us on an adventure of the ages as he takes up the chalk
from Rio Grande in the Saberton area of Morgantown. Rio Grande is the Mexican
restaurant in the plaza across from Autozone, almost towards the end before the
only non government owned American car maker Ford dealership.

June 19 to the 21st is Ted's Excellent Camping Adventure! We got all the details
from Ted:
I will be at the camp site about 10AM Friday June 19th. There is plenty of room
to spread out and a large spare community tent will be setup for those who are
without. The site is along the pristine Tygart river and a good drop off for
kayaks, canoes and inner tubes. There are some good swimming/fishing holes there
as well. You may wish to bring road or mountain bikes and of course your running
shoes. I will probably go for a road ride Saturday morning/early afternoon. I
hear several people will be running some 40K relay race and rejoining us for the
Saturday afternoon activities. The river float from camp to the Colfax bridge
will be starting around 4PM so bring your tubes. I will have a couple of extra
tubes if anyone is in need. Meals: I will have a grill on site and be cooking
burgers and dogs Friday night. Please bring any additional food and drinks you
would like. The site is primitive, so there is no refrigeration or running
water. Directions: From Morgantown take I79 South to exit 132. This is the
Whitehall exit South of Fairmont. Take US250 South 2.1miles and take a left on
Colfax Rd. (On 250 you will pass the Wal-Mart, so stock up on any goodies you
may want) Go 0.8 mile to the bottom of the hill and take a right. This road runs
past Poplar island on the left and at 1.1 miles you will turn left through a
gated drive to the campsite. There will be signs directing you to good parking
about 0.25 mile before the site if you do not have 4wd. The road is much more
passable than the last time we camped there (the huge hole in the road is
gone).I look forward to seeing you there. Ted

See you on the trail,

ON - ON!!!
