We stopped at the Cove Overlook on our way into Garrett County yesterday. If you haven't stopped to view this panorama of farmland and rolling hills, make a point to do so the next time you're headed into the Deep Creek Lake area. You'll find it on Rt. 219 as you're headed south into the Deep Creek Lake area, just north of Accident.

My apologies for not posting since Thursday. I've been taking some time enjoying the weekend as I hope all of you are as well. It's been a bit chilly but beautiful in Garrett County this weekend, a good weekend for campfires and fishing. Here are a few pictures of the weekend so far.

Randy Santos once again provides some great photography - this time of some not so great weather at Deep Creek Lake...view his photos here. There's a bit of humor to boot.

I found another interesting photographer on the web. Chris Kayler shows a whole new side of the scenes that he photographs. Rainbow Water, shot on the Savage River, is a beautiful example of his unique work.
