The camping weekend starts today. Come on out anytime for as much or as little
as you like. Should be an excellent time!
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. Ihear 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 youwould 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!!!
