Marilyn, Do they still have those old cabins at Deep Creek or have they gotten more modern with hotel-type complexes? I used to love it as a kid in the '50's (the cabins were old, then!) when we would go to Deep Creek for a weekend or take our annual vacation there. Traffic was awful, returning on a Sunday afternoon, but just reading the name brought back some really great memories!

Put the kettle on we will pay you a call on our way. All kidding aside. The last time we stayed at Deep Creek which is in that thin strip of MD that sits between WV and PA, I talked my husband into driving me to Grafton, WV via the backroads. Well !!!! That was quite an experience for a guy who was born in IN and grew up in IL. I was born in Grafton, WV where my father helped to build the Tygart Dam; but, the family came back to SW PA when I was three so mountain driving does not bother me; but, I would have rather been the driver for those backroads that day. My directions are no longer trusted where WV is concerned. LOL Will be spending Thanksgiving with my aunt in Saltsburg, PA so will be unsubscribing soon. Ya'll have a nice Thanksgiving, ya hear!

Hi Marilyn, Times have changed in them thar hills. We traded one of our timeshare weeks at Vail, CO for a week at Lakewood Resort. We did this in 1999, and had a lovely three story townhome right on the lake. Of course on that trip, I spent my time in Hagerstown, MD attempting to chase down an errant g,grandfather by the name of Delmar Whetzel who left his family in Fayette Co. and also visited the Garrett Co. Historical Society which has a wonderful museum attached. The people at the historical society were wonderful and helped me get some Wetzel obits; but, nary a trace of the elusive Delmar. Oh, yes, and lets don't forget the fun I had making my husband travel the back roads to Grafton, WV. His driving gave a new meaning to corkscrew curves. <Smile> Oglesbay brings back memories as I attended a majorette camp at the park when I was in high school. Marilyn; Lake Co.

Marilyn P. Oh, no, Lakewood Resort? Oh, well, times change and I guess we change with them, come to think of it. A nice townhome sounds much more comfortable than those rustic cabins... ha ha! Thanks for letting me know that when I go back there it will look a bit different!
