Let us be your guide. (For free!) Why should you put that kind of trust in us? We have been guides, really, all over the world! Okay, the whole world is stretching it, but a big chunk of the Western Hemisphere is accurate. From Montana’s ice cold waters and rugged back country, to the Grand […]
Things To Do
Events at Oppossum Creek Retreat & New River Gorge
Bang! Like getting shot out of a cannon! (On my bucket list, by the way.) That’s how we start our season. The New River Birding and Nature Festival (April 29- May 4) is our Daytona 500. Yes, I just referenced NASCAR in the same sentence as a nature festival. We like doing it this way; […]
In a Valentine’s Day Panic? Opossum Creek to the Rescue!
Don’t worry, we do Valentine’s Day everyday, all year long. I really I could read some of the comments in the guest books to you, but I get choked up. Vday always seems to create a lot of pressure on all sides of the holiday. Who says you have to be at the top of […]
Yoga Retreat Returns to Opossum Creek Retreat in 2013
Yoga is not for everyone; neither is Opossum Creek Retreat. And I don’t think they should be. The local Yogis here in the New River Gorge and from Kula Yoga Studio in beautiful downtown Fayetteville are really excited about having another yoga retreat at Opossum Creek. It has been a long time in between. Too […]
What I’ll Be Doing on Bridge Day
Are you this excited about Bridge Day? You could not possibly be this excited about Bridge Day. Could you? Everyone should have traditions. Like a Bridge Day tradition of Funnel CAKES for breakfast! Too slow. Yep they got me. I will be helping the Chamber of Commerce again this year and be in the thick […]
The Best Kept Secrets of Bridge Day
Bridge Day, West Virginia’s largest one-day festival, is almost here. It’s on October 20, to be exact. And since we’re just a stone’s throw from the Bridge, we know all about it. Here’s what we’ve learned: there are people who are all about Bridge Day, and then there are people (like Geoff) who’d rather avoid […]
You Are Leaving? So SOON?
“Honey, I am leaving!” “Again? So soon?” (with glee in his voice). “We will miss you, have fun.” Because if Momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy! Groups fill The Meadows for lots of reasons. One of the best reasons is Boys or Girls Club Weekends. That’s our nickname for vacations where groups of gals or guys […]
Bucket List: You Can Do it All Here in the New River Gorge
I took a quick look at all the fun stuff we did during our reunion. Here’s what I realized: Some of the people in the group will never need to make a bucket list because they have done any and everything that pops up. Others have slayed dragons so large and scary most of us […]
The New River Gorge – Your ‘Bucket List’ Destination
If you have a “Bucket List”, this is a great place to fill it up! I might not always remember that though. It’s kind of like when I worked at Disney. I had all of these awesome activities right at your fingertips, but ended up taking it for granted every day. So when Geoff told […]
