Hidden Valley near Warm Springs, Virginia
Hidden Valley is a small flat along the Jackson River, well off the beaten path in a remote area of Bath County near the town of Warm Springs, in western Virginia. The little valley is nestled between Back Creek Mountain to the west, and Little Mountain and Cobbler Mountain to the east. There are a couple of primitive campgrounds and some hiking trails in the area. This short visit was just an introduction to the area, riding through and enjoying the beautiful countryside and awesome views. Thanks for watching!

Lake Moomaw, Virginia, Father-Son Trip
My young son and I headed to Lake Moomaw for a 3 day, 2 night, weekend camping trip.
Lake Moomaw is located in the Warm Springs Ranger District of the George Washington National Forest. The 2530 acre lake sits in Bath and Alleghany Counties, in the Alleghany Highlands of western Virginia. The lake is formed by impounding the Jackson River. The lake has over 43 miles of shoreline and officially lies at 1582 feet above sea level. Many of the surrounding mountains rise to over 3000 feet, with a few peaks above 4000. It is the largest lake in western Virginia. Due to the terrain of the area, it is also a very deep lake. It has an average depth of around 80 feet, with some spots over 150 feet deep. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built and continue to manage the area.
There are several campgrounds around the lake with varying levels of facilities, including one hike-in backcountry camp area. We stayed at the Bolar Mountain Recreation Area on the northwest side of the lake. Our trip including relax time around camp, some trail hiking, swimming in the lake, and checking out some neat places in the nearby area. This video is a just a short summary of our trip. Thanks for watching!

Berkeley Springs - Bath, West Virginia - 74.3 Thermal Degree Springs
Berkeley Springs State Park is located in the center of Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. The Bathhouse first opened in 1930. Since then, thousands have enjoyed the variety of baths and treatments in the warm mineral waters that flow from the springs at a constant temperature of 74.3 degrees Fahrenheit. The springs discharge from five principle sources and numerous lesser ones, all within a hundred yards, approximately 1,000 gallons of clear, sparkling water per minute. Bathing in the springs has been popular since before the days of George Washington.
For the record the average ground water temperature is 54 degrees for this region of the United States.

I highly recommend of The Town of Spa's including the Country Inn is a fantastic Hotel next to the historic spring, I highly recommend the spa package. Remember deep relaxing therapeutic massage consisting of long connecting strokes, kneading, and friction. This decreases stress, tension, and fatigue, improves blood and lymphatic circulation, and calms the nervous system. The water has perfect chemistry for the body...Again Berkeley Springs is a fantastic getaway destination for relaxing....I highly recommend attending the 30th Anniversary of the Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting that is scheduled this coming February 21-23, 2020 also located at the Beautiful Country Inn at Phone 304-258-1200

Man Weekend 2014 - Lake Moomaw
In 2014 we chose Lake Moomaw to be our annual Man Weekend getaway. We rented two wonderful lodges with beautiful lake views, located on the Big Lick Retreat property (
On the way home, my brothers and I stopped outside of Covington to see Falling Spring Falls. That experience was the highlight of an already awesome trip. The end of the summer had been dry, so bothe the lake and the falls were low. All the same, the trip was wonderful and we're eager to return!
