Hey, no trip to Richwood would be complete without going to the Ramp Feed , as we called it as boys. Feast to a Ramp Dinner with all the trimmings. Sponsored by the Richwood Area Chamber of Commerce, the dinner is held at the Richwood High School Cafeteria. Camp Splinter was built in 1941 by the Cherry River Boom and Lumber Company as a scout camp. The girl and boy scouts are camping along the proposed trail to convince the Gauley District Ranger to open this narrow gauge rail grade as a hiking trail.
Scouts have a way of attracting ghosts.
Sarah, ghost of the tunnel, went to girl scout camp at Camp Splinter. Now if the clouds and the moon are just right, Sarah has been known to return to her childhood scout camp. I think if they are asked properly, they will let us use the campfire circle. Bruce and John have assured me this trail would be ready for a six mile bike ride from Holcomb Bridge to the trestle at Woodbine Station . Hear local history buff Allen Barker tell of the towns that once existed along this trail and of the legends of that bygone era.
