Clarion River – Cook Forest

The Clarion River winds through the Cook Forest. Worthwhile to explore Seneca Point, the firetower and the trail down to the Clarion River. And don't forgot the beautiful drive along the river, heading west through the park. Just watch for deer! Almost hit one when I was there.

End of the US 4 Expressway

At one point, US 4 in Vermont was proposed to be an expressway across the state. Nowadays it dead ends at US 7 South of Rutland, across from what I'd now the Diamond Run Maul. This would have become part of the Modified Central Route of the proposed Interstate 92.

"MODIFIED" CENTRAL ROUTE: 281.6 miles from the area of Glens Falls, New York to Portland, Maine. This corridor would have required 97.1 miles of new construction and 70.2 miles of upgrading existing facilities (a 1968-1971 Interstate-quality upgrade of US 4 near Rutland, Vermont is included in this figure). Approximately 114.2 miles would have utilized already existing Interstate highways (I-89 in Vermont and New Hampshire, and I-393 in New Hampshire). The route, which was estimated to cost $346 million by the time it was completed in 1979, would have gone through Rutland and White River Junction, Vermont; Lebanon and Concord, New Hampshire; and Sanford and Portland, Maine. (An extension of the central route east to Calais, Maine was not considered for this study.) http://www.bostonroads.com/roads/I-92

South Fork Potomac River in Brake, WV

Rural farming area south of Moorefield, WV known for it's meat chicken production, surrounded by the high hills of Applachia. Brake is named for the family of early landowner Johann Jacob Brake ("Brechtel" in German) who emigrated from southern Germany in the early 18th century. The town once included a sawmill, gristmill, distillery, blacksmith shop, and post office. The original log house used as a post office in the early- to mid-19th century still stands. The Brake Cemetery harbors the remains of Brakes, Simons, Sees, and probably others whose stones have been lost. Brake Falls on Dumpling Run once provided power for the sawmill and gristmill. The Brake family is still around to this day. The family currently resides in Ohio.
