We just got back from a weekend road trip to eastern West Virginia and I wanted to share our trip with you.
We left Friday morning and got back Sunday evening and covered 650 miles. Instead of our usual trips in the Yellow 1994 ZR-1 we decided to travel in our Black 1990 ZR-1. The Black Z is a Lingenfelter 368 and is a lot louder than the stock YellowZ. We didn't sneak up on any wildlife (or locals) this trip.
In addition to just getting away and Enjoying the Road, we were hoping to see and photograph some "Fall Color". The weather forecast was ify, with rain predicted, but we thought it might clear up by Saturday afternoon, so we got underway.
We headed west from Westminster, Maryland, skirted Frederick and crossed the northern tip of Virginia on our way to Davis, WV to visit Blackwater Falls State Park.
It was raining by the time we got to West Virginia, but since it was just a drizzle, and the sky looked clearer around each bend, we decided to press on.
Blackwater Falls is a West Virginia State Recreation area in the Monogehela National Forest:
Blackwater Falls State Park is a beautiful, peaceful place. The primary attraction is the falls which are easily accessed by a well-maintained walkway.
In addition, the park has a nice scenic road along the south side of the Blackwater Canyon , a beautiful historic Lodge, numerous picnic and some camping areas . We were rewarded with some nice Fall colors and a brief let up in the rain.
Here is Lyndi by the sign to Lindy Point, which, if the fog had not rolled in, is a north west facing overlook of serveral counties:
On our way back to the main Park road we surprised some deer, or as they call them here in West Virginia, dinner:
