WEST VIRGINIA TACOMAS

Made a little more headway on the porch. It seems to be raining much more, lol

 

Every time I see pics like this it makes me want to get the fuck out of NOVA and buy some land. If I can't get my transfer to Utah I'm sure as hell transferring to the WV office.

 

Ya it’s not too bad around here lol

 

There is some beautiful scenary in wv, some of the most breathtaking i have ever seen.

 

Who's selling all the stuff on CL near Ravenswood? Buddy needs a lift on his '11

 

Stopped on my way to work yesterday to take this pic lol

 

Looking to camp at Canaan Valley in June. We plan to tent camp off Canaan Loop somewhere. Any help with planing or stuff to do would be great....Thank you

 

Sounds like a great plan
So many great sites up there, my favorite is the one where u have to ford red run to get to it
What kind of stuff u looking to get into

 

"Ford red run" what does that mean? Climbing rocks with the truck is fun but I hear the road isn't too bad, we like to hike to spots with great views and just relax around camp. We are planning to be there in June for 4 nights and want a good camp spot for the trip

 

Red run is the creek that drains the swamps on the southern leg of the loop road
The road skirts it for a while and there’s an obvious place where people have been fording it. Good campsite on the other side, just don’t romp your truck in the mud by the site. The creek is real rocky and low sediment so crossing it doesn’t hurt much imo. If it’s high enough that it will hit your hubcaps I’d abort mission because that creek is a rager when it’s full lol. Lots of safer sites

Last time I drove past table rock on the loop road the brush scratched the shit outta my truck lol. Some fun creek crossings on the black water side too


Lots to do in the area, what kind of activities/food did you have in mind?

 

Hi...WV guys, N.E. PA guy here...I need some directions.
I need to get to the Slanesville General Store. I'm coming from N.E. PA.
I'll be taking Interstate 81.
It looks like I should take exit 317 from 81S to US-11/VA/37.
Then to 522N...then to VA-127 which turns into WV 127...then it looks like VA-127 turns into WV-29...is that right?
The reason is I'm going to deliver a motorcycle from the dealership I work for to a customer and he's meeting me at the general store.
Thanks!

 

Wish I could help, but I don’t spend much time in that corner. Too close to VA lol

 

Ok...thanks for the response. Maybe some one will chime in.

 

Thanks for the definition. Learn something new everyday. I normally just say cross the stream or river.

I have heard the streams are bad if it's too deep. I will definitely take it easy as we are rolling solo for the trip. I'm thinking to get on the Loop rd in Blackwater park and drive a few miles before finding a camp.

Pinstripes are hard to not get. Hopefully no super bad limbs to remove paint to the metal but I will have an axe and snips with me anyway just in case.

 

Right on

What kind of activities r u looking to get into? I can point u in a few directions lol

If you get thirsty definitely grab something from stumptown ales their beer is super good and they do growlers

 

We like hiking especially to waterfalls or outlooks. The wife wants to rent tubes and go down a river. I love micro brews, fishing and just relaxing. With a 18 week pregnant wife, 4 year old and two 30# dogs some stuff may not work on this trip.

We will be in Canaan for 4 nights. Before that we will be in Glenville for 7 nights and Cap on Bridge for 3 nights.

Is that brewery in Davis? Any good restaurants near by? We may make one day a trip to town while in Canaan

 

Yes Stumptown Ales is in Davis. Accept no local substitute everything else made in the area is swill. Siriannis Pizza is a must stop and right down the street and Hellbender Burritos is there too. Also there is a bangin food truck that parks outside the brewery sometimes called the Farm Up Truck

Table Rock overlook trail is on the apex of the loop road and there is Lindy Point overlook in Blackwater Falls State Park. Also a big waterfall lol

Lots of places to hike in the area what with the Refuge and State parks and Monongahela National forest. The otter creek area is a special place. Lots of trails on the loop road the Allegheny trail system is huge

Contact Blackwater Outdoor Adventures for float stuff, they do all types

 

What do you do? If it’s transferring to Clarksburg like I’m reading, you can definitely live off the grid and be fine for work.

 

Government Cyber/IT. Unfortunately, fast, low-latency internet is the only thing holding me back.

 

Depending on where you move, it’s not bad. I’ve had better internet in Morgantown and the Ohio Valley than I’ve had in Monterey, CA or anywhere in Hawaii (Oahu).
