Hampshire County Highpoint Trip Report

Mike Schwartz’s report is still valid. Grassy Lick Road (CR 10) is pretty narrow and I was traveling slowly in order to turn into the Wildlife Management Area when I noticed a pick-up on my tail. I pulled over as much as possible to let them pass. It turns out it was a couple of rednecks with a bit too much moonshine and reamed us out with longshoremen' s language for driving so slow.

Before we left on this trip, Mike was aware that we were leaving and in e-mail told us that the people of WVA were the most friendly people we would meet. After only two CoHPs completed, we weren't too sure and thought that I should have been packing a snubnose. I must say that after the two episodes everything changed and we agreed wholeheartedly with Mike on the friendly folks of WVA.
