Wisp - Feb 15-18

On President's Day weekend, I went to Deep Creek Lake in Maryland to "go skiing" at Wisp. First of all, I'm a snowboarder. Secondly, being a snowboarder, the idea of shredding ice really does not appeal to me. I have been spoiled by snowboarding in powder and do not relish picking myself up off of ice, every 5 minutes. That being said, I am always up for a road trip out of the city to enjoy a fireplace, hot tub and friends in the country.

Wisp is a great weekend trip - perfect for a quick venture out of DC. About 15 friends shared our house which had views of the lake. People were ice fishing and enjoying winter activites until a warm front moved in and made the snow disappear.

Nevertheless, we played chicken foot, poker and charades til the cows came home. The majority of the people who were in our house were from Texas and we had a blast Indian leg wrestling, playing pool and drinking in the hot tub.

There is also a state park nearby with natual waterfalls and is a great place to do some outdoor hiking. Below are some pics from the weekend.
