October 2010 High-Point Tour

[apastron]

In October, I took a series of day-trips to the high-elevation points of PA, MD & WV. My sister's house near Augusta, WV was my FOB (Forward Operating Base). I tried to time the weekend for peak fall colors, but I think I was about a week early. Here are some of my fav's, in no logical order...

Tuscarora Mountain, PA -- complete with hang-glider dude...


The ancient ruins (lol) at Berkeley Springs, WV...


The highest damn tree in PA. Not the "tallest", but since it's the tallest on Mt. Davis, it's the highest...


From atop Mt. Davis, PA...


Obnoxious timer shot from the tripod - High Point Lake, PA...


High Point Lake, PA...


Somewhere in Somerset Co., PA - where I thought I was lost but wasn't. WTH is with PA and not putting up road signs?...




My cousin-in-law's restaurant in Kitzmiller, MD. Go there; eat; repeat as necessary. Best pizza around... of course, there's not a lot of pizza around...


Obnoxious self-portrait in the look-around...




View from Spruce Knob, WV. No picture will ever do it justice...

Nice pics, where's the ancient ruins shot taken?
Did you take a dip in Geo Washington's bath tub while there?

Thanks guys!

RM: It's on rte. 522, south of the silica mine, north of rte. 9. I believe it shares the lot with a VFW post (?). Didn't see the bathtub, but I go through there a few times a year -- it's on my list.
