Apologize in advance for this very long post, but my seasonal affective disorder was out of control on Saturday and the only effective cure (I know of) is an impromptu road trip. In this case, the road trip went straight down memory lane to a place full of boyhood memories and joy for me - Cool Springs Park. An epic amalgam of outdoor mechanical contraption museum, domestic animal park, and touristy dive restaurant cum gift shop featuring foot-long hotdogs and Native American moccasins, Cool Springs was a mandatory pit stop during my family's regular trips to the mountains. I must admit the puffed-up Turkey tom lifted my spirits; he seemed particularly proud that he made it through Thanksgiving with his neck intact. And I walked away with my usual stash of holiday goodies, including local honey, jam, and butters.

The writing on the wall

The writing on the wall

I realized today that I ‘follow’ only two eating establishments on Facebook.  Both of them have handwritten menus.  I don’t go out to eat much, but when I do I like to see the writing on the wall. Cool Springs Park, Rowlesburg, WV. Grady Tavern, Manchester, CT.

💾 ►►► DOWNLOAD FILE 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The Cheat River is a mile-long tributary of the Monongahela River in eastern West Virginia and southwestern Pennsylvania in the United States. Via the Ohio River, the Cheat and Monongahela are part of the Mississippi River watershed. The magnificent Cheat River flows from five major tributaries, known as the “Forks of the Cheat”, which originate in the rugged Monongahela National Forest. Located in Albright, in North Central West Virginia, the Cheat Canyon section of the Cheat River is West Virginia's premier springtime Class V whitewater run. The Cheat River is amazing! This river canyon is full of great rapids and we loved the guides on our trip. I can't stress how important it is to go with. The Cheat River in West Virginia is again a haven for whitewater rafting and smallmouth bass fishing after years of Clean Water Act funding. Its 1,square-mile basin drains parts of southwestern Pennsylvania, western Maryland, and, in West Virginia , parts of central Preston County , western Tucker County , eastern Randolph County , northern Pocahontas County , and eastern Monongalia County. The Cheat River is a popular whitewater rafting stream in spring. Thousands of rafters and kayakers run its lower course when snowmelt produces highly technical rapids. The Cheat is a popular fishing stream throughout the year. The character of the two forks or the Cheat River contrast strongly: the drainage of the Black Fork and its Dry Fork are fan-shaped, and that of the the Shavers Fork is long and narrow. The river is impounded as Lake Lynn, colloquially known as Cheat Lake, near the end of its course. Much of the upper Cheat and its forks drain the Monongahela National Forest. In , the Dunkards, a religious sect, were the first Europeans to settle on the Cheat River. They established a village near Kingwood, West Virginia. An iron industry along the lower reach of the river supported roughly 3, settlers at Cheat Neck Cheat Lake and Ices Ferry in the early 19th century. As a result of pollution from coal mining, poor timber management, and construction of a private dam built in , fish had all but disappeared from the lower course of the river by the s.

The Cheat River in West Virginia is again a haven for whitewater rafting and smallmouth bass fishing after years of Clean Water Act funding. World-class paddlers and dedicated conservationists alike have made the Cheat River watershed their home, so gather your crew, grab a paddle, and come find out why. This section, starting in Hendricks and ending at the quaint river town of Rowlesburg, has only a few class I and II rapids to navigate , so the UCRWT is perfect for novice paddlers, family trips and overnighters with a canoe full of camping gear and fishing poles. Home to both native and stocked trout, the Cheat is also well-known for its fly fishing. Always check the water level before you head out. Characterized by 5 miles of class II and III rapids with fun wave trains and a few technical moves around boulders , the Narrows is the ideal training run to perfect your paddling skills. The Narrows is great for smaller rafts, shredders, duckies and kayaks, though hardy locals run the rapids in canoes. You can raft the Narrows when it is above cfs, up to 10, cfs. Above 10 grand, the river becomes a steady stream of class V-VI rapids, and is for expert paddlers only. WV runs directly parallel to the Narrows, so you have quite a few convenient put-in and take-out options. Downstream from Kingwood, the Cheat widens and slows before reaching the town of Albright. This section tests the grit of the most adventurous paddlers as the frothing Cheat tumbles past thick old-growth forest and sheer sandstone cliffs. The Friends of the Cheat FOC and the Nature Conservancy bought the 1,square-mile section of Cheat watershed, along with the canyon, as a nature preserve in to protect its wild and scenic nature for generations to come. You can typically run the canyon between 11 and 15 feet corresponding to roughly feet, respectively, at the Power Bridge Gauge.
