Kumbrabow

Here is our favorite campsite at our favorite West Virginia State Park, Kumbrabow. We call it our home away from home, and try to stay there at least once a year. This year we headed down two days after the campsites opened because we couldn't wait. The weather was nice and warm, but still no buds on the trees yet. One of the features of this spot is the lovely view of the creek which conveniently drowns out any noisy neighbors. Thanks Terry for the awesome ride!


This is Becky enjoying one of the many hiking trails that the park has to offer. This is her 'why are you taking a picture of me' face.

We enjoyed our first hike of the year and even saw a real, live, scary coyote. It was huge! And only a mile from our tent! The night before we were wondering what the stranges noises were. Mystery solved. We had to make a mad dash to our campsite because it started to pour and didn't stop until the next morning. We had to set up a poncho over the coals to cook our dinner.


Dj brought his fishing pole and managed to catch this tiny brook trout on one of his first casts. That was his only luck though, so no fresh fish for dinner.

We had a nice, relaxing time, and even managed to stop in Buckhannon to visit my 95 year old, wonderful grandpa. The weekend went by to quickly!
