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

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.
