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 […]

Why I Love the New River Birding and Nature Festival

Every spring here at Opossum Creek Retreat we host The New River Nature and Birding Festival. It has quickly become one of my favorite weeks of the year. The privilege of being a part of the festival has allowed me access to the amazingly diverse flora and fauna of the New River Gorge and surrounding […]

Now Presenting: Community Theater and Opossum Creek Retreat

Hey there, It’s me, Keith from Opossum Creek Retreat. The Historic Fayette Theatre has been a big part of our winter/spring for quite some time. I haven’t been IN a production for the last two years, but still have managed to lend a hand in building sets etc. for the spring show. However, Geoff is enjoying […]

How To Catch A New River Gorge Firefly

I grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia.  Bucks County to be specific.  Far, far away (or so I thought) from a vacation cabin in the New River Gorge region of West Virginia. I was definitely not the city streets, but not nearly as rural as here in New River Country, either. When I was […]

Beat The Heat

Baby, it’s hot out there!  I’m talking about the New River Gorge in West Virginia.  Y’know, the big backyard for our cabin rentals. I remember when I made the move here in 1992 from Central Florida.  My dad and I rented the box truck, loaded it and made the trip. It was July and it […]

How To Have The Best 4th Of July Of Your Life: Follow These 5 Tips

The New River Gorge is surrounded by small towns, and it’s perfect for the 4th of July.  I came from a much bigger place, but a lot of the traditions are the same. Back in the day I can remember weaving red, white and blue crape paper through the spokes of my bicycle. A couple […]

5 Simple Steps To Get Into Bird Watching In The New River Gorge

 When I signed on here at Opossum Creek Retreat I had no idea what I was in store for. Sure, I knew what the job was.  I learned Geoff’s techniques.  But there was so much more.  You know, stuff that would only be revealed as time went on.  Jedi stuff. One of the things […]

Do You Know The New River Gorge? A Nature Nugget From Keith

I’m an avid outdoorsman. But I don’t limit it to just going outside.  I love to read about the outdoors.  When I was a kid I lived for outdoor magazines. Whenever I got a new one I usually consumed it cover to cover in one sitting. The white tailed deer was my all-time favorite mammal […]

The First 5 Flowers You’ll See In The New River Gorge

Full disclosure:  One of them’s not even a flower.  Check out the list below if you feel like skipping ahead. First, a little background… I can remember the neighborhood gang of kids and I would all get together and escape to the nearest woodlot any chance we could. Being in the suburbs of Philly, there […]
