SUMMARY:Elk Management Tour Evening: Chief Logan
DESCRIPTION:Elk Management Tours in West Virginia are designed to learn about and visit where the reintroduction of elk in the Mountain State occurred. The three-to-four-hour activity begins at 4:00 p.m. at Chief Logan Lodge\, Saturday\, October 1\, 2022. \nThe tour ticket includes an afternoon snack\, “All About Elk” conversation\, transportation to the elk translocation site\, and outdoor time walking to experience the terrain\, vegetation\, elk habitat and potential sighting and souvenir. Tours are limited to 12 participants and reservations are required in advance. Masks may be necessary during transportation. Hearing or seeing an elk bull or cow is not guaranteed. The elk are free roaming and not penned. Sunset at the tour site is outstanding in addition to looking and listening for elk and observation of other wildlife or wildlife signs in the area. Walking/hiking is involved. \nThese considerations are necessary: carry-on items must be small to accommodate passengers more comfortably and only if necessary. The tour is not recommended for youth under age 12. Pets are not permitted. Participants should refrain from use of scented products. Packing food on the tour is discouraged – wild animals have excellent sensory abilities and may react adversely. Sturdy\, closed-toe shoes or boots are required\, no flip-flops or sandals. Long pants should be worn. Up to two miles of walking may occur at the management area with some moderate inclines\, but all at a reasonable pace. Binoculars are available to borrow. \nThe cost is $34 per person. Ticket or package prices include taxes\, but not gratuity. Advanced reservations are required for tours and may be purchased online and found on the link\, https://wvstateparks.com/things-to-do/elk-management-tours. \nLauren Cole\, Naturalist/Biologist is the tour leader.

SUMMARY:A Bagpipe Concert & Road Bowling; Cacapon
DESCRIPTION:“Scotland the Brave” will be one of the chants heard on a memorable October afternoon at Cacapon Resort State Park.  A bagpipe concert at 2:00 p.m. on October 2\, 2022 is a fitting autumn program.  Held at the Cacapon park gazebo near the nature center\, the concert is free to attend and to enjoy. \nIrish Road Bowling is planned at 4:00 p.m.  Irish road bowling is similar to fast pitch softball\, except with a running start. It’s also like bowling\, but you need room to run 10 or 15 yards. The game is ideal for young athletes or seniors who are looking to enjoy a scenic walk on a country road\, combined with an ancient and exciting (but not overly strenuous) sport! We start at the Nature Center. Bowls are available to borrow and return. \nJoin us for a lovely autumn afternoon at Cacapon Resort State Park.
