  • Eagle Rock - Dry Gap, VA/WV
    Eagle Rock - Dry Gap, VA/WV Length Difficulty Streams Views Solitude Camping 7.2 mls N/A Hiking Time: 4.0 hours including 30 minutes for breaks Elev. Gain: 1,760 ft Parking: 7.2 mile hike park at the ridge on the south side of US48/55 at the Tuscarora Trail. Do Not block the forestry gate. 39.08535, -78.51080 2.1 mile hike park at Dry Gap on VA609/Capon Springs Grade Rd. 39.10961, -78.47809 Eagle Rock has some of the best vistas in the Great North Mountain range. The Tuscarora Trail was re-routed in 2014 to include the Eagle Rock Trail, and now this spectacular hike can now be done as either a 7.2 mile out and back from US48/55, or as a family friendly 2.1 mile hike from Dry Gap VA609. The longer 7.2 mile version also includes a rolling ridge walk with views of Paddy Gap as well as the gap between Paddy Mountain and Short Mountain. The Eagle Rock Trail and overlook have never received the high traffic that similar hikes such as Big Schloss just to the south. The Eagle Rock Trail and a portion of the Tuscarora Trail that was re-routed in 2014 pass through the private property of the Capon Springs Hunt Club. Please respect private property, remain on the trail, and practice Leave No Trace hiking etiquette. Mile 0.0 - From the parking area along 48/55 carefully cross to the north side of the road. Vehicles crest the ridge here at high speed, so use extreme caution crossing 48/55.

  • Backpacking: Bird Knob
    1 © 1999 Troy R. Hayes. All rights reserved. Preface As a new Scoutmaster, I wanted to take my troop on different kinds of adventure. But each trip took a tremendous amount of preparation to discover what the possibilities were, to investigate them, to pick one, and finally make the detailed arrangements. In some cases I even made a reconnaissance trip in advance in order to make sure the trip worked. The Pathfinder is an attempt to make this process easier. A vigorous outdoor program is a key element in Boy Scouting. The trips described in these pages range from those achievable by eleven year olds to those intended for fourteen and up (high adventure). And remember what the Irish say: The weather determines not whether you go, but what clothing you should wear. My Scouts have camped in ice, snow, rain, and heat. The most memorable trips were the ones with "bad" weather. That's when character building best occurs.

    Planning.comments.f To: comments-southern-georgewashington-jefferson@fs.fed.us orm@svinet2.fs.fed.u cc: s Subject: 02/07/2009 09:20 AM Submitted by: Walter Dent<br>At: wdent@yahoo.com<br>Remark: After attending the last meeting I would like to stress that I believe at this time we have enough wilderness areas in the state of Virginia. Untouched areas of \"wilderness\" may seem like a good idea to some but what it really does is cut the effectiveness of the Forest Service to manage the land. As you are aware of, wilderness areas can be devastated by Gypsy moth infestation, tree diseases, ice storms and fire to name a few and the FS will be helpless to implement any recovery plans. I also believe a lot of the interest for new wilderness is not brought here by local people that actually use the forest but by special interest groups who have never been to the GW/JNF and have their own agendas. I feel that the back country designation achieves everything a wilderness area designation does with out tying the hands of the FS. I would also like to voice my concerns over OHV trails in the national forest. At this time there are a documented 244 miles designated OHV trails in the forest. Unfortunately, I and many others can\'t tell the difference between a \"High vehicle clearance\" roads and a normal fire road. We as the OHV community are all for protecting the environment and treading lightly as witnessed by all the volunteer actions such as trail clean ups, trail repairs and assisting the forest service in various OHV projects, but if a trail is maintained at a level that a non high clearance vehicle can navigate it, then the \"High vehicle clearance\" designation is moot.

  • 2013 Updated GET Concept Plan
    Great Eastern Trail Concept Plan An 1800--mile hiking trail, paralleling the Appalachian Trail, linking Alabama and New York. www.GreatEasternTrail.net October 2009 1 2 Background: After his legendary hike in 1948, Earl Shaffer, the first Appalachian Trail (AT) thru-hiker, came up with an idea for a new trail. He sent the idea to his brother John in a letter in 1952. Why not create a new trail west of the AT? Trails were already out there – they just needed to be linked together. Shaffer’s idea was first publicly articulated by Stan Murray, the chairman of the ATC Board of Directors, in 1969, at the opening meeting of the Tennessee Trails Association. This new trail took on the name of the Western Appalachian Alternative (WAA). The Appalachian Trail became a huge success, and as time went on, became more and more popular (and crowded). In 2000 Lloyd MacAskill of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club (PATC) published an article in the Appalachian Trailway News calling attention to the existing trails to the west of the AT and saying “Don’t look now, but parts are already in place.” He named some of the various trails that could be linked to provide a western alternative. In the fall of 2003 PATC) proposed to the Southeast Foot Trails Coalition (SEFTC) which had just formed in Chattanooga, that the two organizations begin discussing such a project. SEFTC accepted the proposal and in an executive committee meeting in April of 2004 endorsed it as a central organizing theme and Coalition objective. The idea was to make certain southeast foot trails part of this new trail.

  • Friends of Shenandoah Mountain Documents
    November 13, 2014 Kimberly Bose, Secretary Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 888 First Street, NE Washington, DC 20426 Dear Secretary Bose: I am writing on behalf of Friends of Shenandoah Mountain to express opposition to the Atlantic Coast Pipeline submitted for pre-filing by Dominion Resources: FERC Docket # PF15-6. Friends of Shenandoah Mountain is a coalition of organizations, businesses, faith groups, and individuals working toward permanent protection of the central Shenandoah Mountain area in the George Washington National Forest (GWNF). Our goal is Congressional designation of a 90,000-acre tract of Shenandoah Mountain as a National Scenic Area (see Map of Proposed Shenandoah Mountain NSA and www.friendsofshenandoahmountain.org). Our proposal is the result of a 12-year collaborative effort among diverse forest interest groups that has resulted in broad support by over 220 organizations and businesses (see SM Proposal Endorsers), and diverse GWNF stakeholders, including the Virginia Forestry Association, Ruffed Grouse Society, The Nature Conservancy, National Wild Turkey Federation, Virginia Chapter of Trout Unlimited, Virginia Chapter of Backcountry Horsemen of America, and International Mountain Bicycling Association. (See SM Proposal and the GWNF Stakeholders’ Agreement) When Dominion proposed their route for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (shown on Dominion’s August 29, 2014 Augusta and Highland County Maps), they may have been unaware of the tremendous natural and cultural resources on our public lands that the pipeline would impact, irreplaceable resources that benefit people throughout our region. The GWNF is the largest of the Eastern national forests and has the most (and largest) Inventoried Roadless Areas of any national forest in the East.

  • 'O'er Mountains and Rivers': Community and Commerce
    MCCARTNEY, SARAH ELLEN, Ph.D. ‘O’er Mountains and Rivers’: Community and Commerce in the Greenbrier Valley in the Late Eighteenth Century. (2018) Directed by Dr. Greg O’Brien. 464 pp. In the eighteenth-century Greenbrier River Valley of present-day West Virginia, identity was based on a connection to “place” and the shared experiences of settlement, commerce, and warfare as settlers embraced an identity as Greenbrier residents, Virginians, and Americans. In this dissertation, I consider the Greenbrier Valley as an early American place participating in and experiencing events and practices that took place throughout the American colonies and the Atlantic World, while simultaneously becoming a discrete community and place where these experiences formed a unique Greenbrier identity. My project is the first study of the Greenbrier Valley to situate the region temporally within the revolutionary era and geographically within the Atlantic World. For many decades Greenbrier Valley communities were at the western edge of Virginia’s backcountry settlements in what was often an “ambiguous zone” of European control and settlers moved in and out of the region with the ebb and flow of frontier violence. Settlers arriving in the region came by way of the Shenandoah Valley where they traveled along the Great Wagon Road before crossing into the Greenbrier region through the mountain passes and rivers cutting across the Allegheny Mountains. Without a courthouse or church, which were the typical elements of community in eighteenth- century Virginia society, until after the American Revolution, Greenbrier settlers forged the bonds of their community through other avenues, including the shared hardships of the settlement experience.

    ForestHealth Protection Report #01-1-01 Asheville Field Office November 2000 FOREST HEALTH PROTECTION EVALUATION OF THE GYPSY MOTH ON THE DEERFIELD, DRY RIVER, GLENWOOD-PEDLAR, JAMES RIVER, LEE, AND WARM SPRINGS RANGER DISTRICTS OF THE GEORGE W ASffiNGTON AND JEFFERSON NATIONAL FORESTS, FISCAL YEAR 2001 Prepared by: Field Office Representative ForestHealth Protection FOREST HEALTH PROTECTION EV ALVA TION OF THE GYPSY MOTH ON THE DEERFIELD, DRY RIVER, GLENWOOD-PEDLAR, JAMES RIVER, LEE, AND WARM SPRINGS RANGER DISTRICTS OF THE GEORGE WASHINGTON AND JEFFERSON NATIONAL FORESTS, FISCAL YEAR 2001 JeffreyJ. WitcOSkyl Abstract In 2000, 55,495 acres of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests (GWJNF) were defoliated by gypsy moth, with 32,232 and 23,263 acres defoliated in Virginia and West Virginia, respectively. Severe defoliation occurred on 2,768,3,828,40,042, and 8,857 acres of forested land on the Glenwood-Pedlar, James River, Lee, and Warm Springs, respectively. During August and September,Forest Health Protection (FHP) conducted gypsy moth egg mass surveys on the Deerfield, Dry River, Glenwood-Pedlar, JamesRiver, Lee, and Warm Springs Ranger Districts of the GWJNF to determine which areas may be at risk of defoliation and damage in FY 2001. Survey results indicate that the Cave Mountain Lake, Hidden Valley, Trout Pond, and Wolf Gap recreation areasare above the 250/acre egg mass density threshold for nuisance and damage. Also, the McFalls Creek, Jennings Creek, Harkening Hill, Little Mountain, Cove Mountain, Hawk, Squirrel Gap, and Kelly Run high-value timber areas are above the 1,000 egg mass/acredamage threshold and may be severelydefoliated and damaged in 2001.
