Well, I got the last of the camping stuff aired out yesterday and checked/updated the camp box for the season. The plan will be for the boys and I to head out Saturday morning to the campground. I'm still thinking it will be Elizabeth furnace Recreation Area. It's quiet, which is what I want, and the boys are familiar with it as well. There are lots of stream areas to play near. and some good open areas to play in. They also have hiked a one mile loop trail in there which was fun with interpretive signs. It is also close enough to Front Royal to go into town and look around too if the boys want another change of venue. I'm debating going to a full service campground for more options for the boys, but it also means steeper prices. Can't beat $10.00 at Elizabeth Furnace. Of course it doesn't have water or plumbing, but that is part of it. Have to play it by ear. Weather may be a bit iffy as well, with possible showers in the forecast. temps do not appear to be a problem.

Is Trout Pond open yet? Nice bathrooms, pretty isolated sites. There is an easy 4 mile hike, a Lake, a pond, a more strenuous but short out and back to a vista. On a clear day you can see Spruce Knob, the highest peak in WV.
Hey Mike! No, I checked out Trout Pond, not open yet. Looks very nice!I know the kids would love it. Will have to check that one out this year.
