Have hiked all around VA but only got into climbing more recently w my son indoors so something to consider. I did it outdoors 3x cum no idea but one was called Carderock on the VA/MD border just outside DC.CU88 wrote: ↑Thu Nov 25, 2021 8:09 amDon't tell people about these great places!jhu72 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 2:35 pmIt is how I get to Seneca Rocks and Spruce Knob and other recreation areas. 48 does pass through Monongahela National Forest (the north most edge). You are probably thinking of George Washington National Forest which is just across the border in Virginia. 48 corridor passes threw a bigger section of GWNF.Farfromgeneva wrote: ↑Tue Nov 23, 2021 6:27 amThink I’ve been on that, back when I lived in DC I went to this Seneca rocks area twice to do a little hiking. Does 48 going through a national forest-maybe Teddy Roosevelt Natl Forest or another presidential name?jhu72 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 3:04 pmYup. Great idea. Scenic and very quick route west. I think they are currently doing the environmental study to link I-66 to 48, it is not many miles.old salt wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 2:53 pmFor W bound out of DC, US 48 could link I-66 to I-79 to I-64 without having to go so far south to connect to I-64.jhu72 wrote: ↑Mon Nov 22, 2021 12:08 pm... old article. It won't take anywhere near 26 years from now to finish US 48 (corridor H designation). I have been using the the eastern half of US 48 for a decade now. Best idea ever for a highway to somewhere if you are a fan of nature.youthathletics wrote: ↑Fri Nov 19, 2021 2:59 pm
Infrastructure cash has always been available and should be part of every single budget....and strangely its why we see so much pork in every damned bill. Remember the WV's highway that to nowhere?
The 2nd best part of being out there is lack of celluar service. The phone goes silent and you need to use an old fashion map for your first couple of visits.
My climbing days are past, but great hiking and some entertaining viewing of climbers. Also, nothing like grabbing one of those dry pre-made, with love, sandwiches from Yokum's Deli for a post hike meal.
You know what’s good for hiking and outdoor activities? WalMart brand trail mixes.
