On Monday we headed down to Spruce Knob, the highest peak in WV. There is a tower at the top that gives 360 degree views and there are (you guessed it!) 4 LBs at the top. We heading out toward Seneca Rocks and stopped there for lunch; then, over to the visitor center for trail maps.
Sad news! :( At the visitor center we learned that the road up to the tower was closed for culvert replacement and paving and wouldn't be open again until late Sept. :( No LBs for me today. I was really looking foward to getting two boxes by Hikers and Hounds. His Windmills of Backbone Mountain stamp was beautiful and I looked forward to seeing what he had carved for Spruce Knob. Fortunately, we are in the area often enough that I will get there some other time.
Since we were there, we decided to go ahead and drive around the rest of the park and see what was there. Spruce Knob Lake is very pretty and there is a nice hike all the way around it. I'm thinking this could be a nice place to plant a series of letterboxes.
