We stayed at an Army Corps of Engineers campground in Confluence, PA Wednesday, Unfortunately there was zero signal available for anything other than emergency calls. The trip was ok, nothing too breathtaking or concerning to report. I can say we will never go there again. The Outflow Campground was fine, but getting there and out again just wasn't worth it. I've always thought of this region as Rolling hills, Wrong. This area is a lot like the ozarks, but on steroids. I asked myself,"Why would anybody even consider laying down pavement on an 18% grade"?
So for a quick catch up, We completed Skyline Drive at Front Royal Virginia, Due West of Washington DC. From there we proceeded northeast through Maryland and into Pennsylvania stopping at Confluence. The following pictures are from that transit.
This was the first overlook after leaving camp with a view, I couldn't resist the clouds floating across.
It wasn't long before we were driving through the clouds, and the views disappeared. I didn't get any more photos after that. We proceeded north staying at Confluence, PA overnight, then following the National Pike past Braddock's Grave and stopped to visit the Fort Necessity National Battlefield. For those of you who don't know the significance, Google it. I'll just say it's all obscure history today, but fascinating to learn.
Another Item Checked off the bucket list. From there we headed south and stumbled upon a scenic overlook with a Marker sign. Honestly, I was just worn out and saw an opportunity to pull off and take a break. Bonus.
OH, and of course the View of the overlook below. We passed Youngs Monument Road after we left here.
Right now we are staying at the Rifrafters Campground by the New River Gorge in West Virginia. We will be here for 3 days so I can't say when my next post will be but I'll have plenty to share when I do. Thanks for following along, I really enjoy the comments. Until next time, Cheers!
