The calm waters of the upper youghiogheny river don't reflect the world-class whitewater downstream. Not all of your neighbors are this nosy. This orange fellow is one of our many species of salamanders. This is our scenic cove, just a few miles outside of Oakland. Day Lillies cheer up our already pretty mountain home.
Local gardeners have pride in their work.
Our pristine rivers and streams attract flyfishing folks from across the nation. Our Mayor Asa McCain Jr. can be very serious about his town's business and he can also preside over the annual Greater Oakland Rubber Ducky Race. Our local organizations include a group of fellows who recreate the early life of mountain men. Volunteers are the heart of Oakland's success in revitalization. Shown here are just a few of the many people who have been working hard to help restore our train station which can be seen elsewhere on this site.
