Oh wow, my childhood home was on Chestnut Hill but it was torn down when the state put in the highway.

Greetings, spent a bit of time in your state chasing deer and rainbows. Still look forward to fishing the smoke hole pretty area.
Ive slept more nights on the ground in Big Bend at the back of smoke Holes than I can remember.

Fished there also, rock cliff, trout run, sheer lake are a few. Actually big bend is where a bear stole 5 nice brookies one night while my friend and his yellow lab and I slept in a military pup tent (talk about crowded) about 25 yards from where I had staked the stringer of fish planning on cleaning them the next morning for breakfast.

Welcome from just across the Potomac. If I climb the mountain I live on I look down on Harper's Ferry. My Mom's family is rooted in Hampshire and Hardy and my Dad's family in Jefferson County. Used to shoot a lot of Skeet at the Isaac Walton league near Kearnysville.

Wow, Moorefield. I have so many good childhood memories of Poling family reunions held there with cousins by the dozens in the 1950's and 60's. Man those farm ladies could cook, providing mountains of good country food, cakes and pies.
Im originally from Harpers Ferry. My family still lives there. I remeber my granfather having 3 HF muskets in his personal collection. I live over in the mountains of Berkeley county these days where we operate a small farming operation.
