Cumberland

Cumberland was a coal mining town in the 1800's, and now is a quiet village with a main street that's about six blocks long. Tourism is big here now as they have well developed mountain biking trails and a lake. We've enjoyed really warm sunny weather and relative quietness; next weekend is Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race where they first kayak on the lake, then mountain bike on the trails above town, and finish with a run down the Main street. The race is sold out and 450 racers plus friends, helpers and spectators will decend on the village of Cumberland next week.

The view of the lake from our campsite; quiet until gunshots from the rifle range across the lake started up!
