I wish I could join this. I am doing MABDR3 on April 8th

@witchdoctor_33, how much of section 3 are you covering? We won’t be able to join as we’ll be at Douthat SP then, but plan to head north on section 3 from I64 there to either Brandywine or Wardensville, depending on how much time we have. I’m concerned about the water levels on the crossings along WV county route 61 as we’ll have a light trailer with us. If you could share conditions after your drive, it’d be appreciated!

Also, if you’re not aware, Lime Kiln Rd is closed near the southern intersection with Douthat Park Rd for culvert building. It’s supposed to be completed by March 15. It may be done early? Worth a call to the ranger station if that’s on your agenda.

I also would greatly appreciate an update on road conditions

I’ll be sure to write something up. I know those creek crossings can rise and drop pretty quickly!

We are only covering section 3 up to where it crosses Rt 250.
