Blue Knob State Park

My Dad and brother, Matt and their dog, Ozzy came with us on this trip. This is the first time we have been at this park. It is a very nice, small campground with only around 45 sites. We arrived on Saturday, so by Sunday there were very few people left. We basically had the whole place to ourselves.

There is not much to do around the area. We had to drive for a while just to find a grocery store. We did go to a flea market, but we couldn't stay very long - it was too hot. The site we had was in the shade and since it is in the mountains, it was much cooler there.

We also drove up to the ski resort, which was deserted at this time of the year. It wasn't very impressive to me, considering I don't ski. On the other side of the mountain, there is a reservoir, which was huge (345 acres). We walked along a trail that runs along the water, which was very nice. We also stopped at one of the picnic areas and explored the stream, which never seems to get old - no matter how "old" we get! We found some strange looking fish and some salamanders (as shown below).

This is a park that we will definitely go back to. We had a great time�.
