In this episode, my friend David and I go out to Garrett County, MD, just north or Gormania and camp for the weekend in the Potomac State Forest. One of the major reasons for going out there? The fantastic roads. Miles and miles of them. We start from the campsite headed north on Route 560 into the town of Loch Lynn Heights. Then a turn onto 135 and we are headed toward a few of the best kept secrets in Maryland and West Virginia. Among them, Jennings Randolph Lake, Robert W Craig Campground, and of course the Savage River and Savage River Reservoir. There were not that many people up here for mid September, so we had the roads all to ourselves.
We also took Route 46 south out of Bloomington. One of the nicest roads you’ll find. You’ll also find some of the best camping along Big Run Road just north of the Savage Reservoir. You can get there from the south taking Savage River Road out of Bloomington – or coming from the north off of New Germany Road.
The next time you have a free weekend, don’t forget to take a ride up and check it out. But don’t tell too many people – we want to keep it a nice quiet secret.
