(See this months “On the Road” and meet Tina). This is a great place to stop for a cold (and I mean cold) one and a sandwich. About a mile after you leave Route 50 and pick up Route 29 you will come to Mick & Tina’s Country Tavern. Cumberland is only 10 miles from Rocky Gap and is a beautiful town to explore. If you are more inclined towards the scenic route you can take Route 50 through Middleburg to Route 29 north to Paw Paw, WV, then pick up Route 51 to Cumberland, MD. The drive is about 170 miles and will take 2 ½ hours. After another 40 miles or so you will come to Rocky Gap State Park and here is where you will find the resort nestled in the mountains and on the shores of Lake Habeeb. Take the beltway to I-270 through Frederick, MD, Hagerstown and Hancock until you reach I-68. If you enjoy the freeway the I-70 drive can be done on the interstate.
It is a bit of a drive but the roads are great. With the summer heating up we decided to head to the mountains and drove to Rocky Gap Casino and Resort in western Maryland. This month we decided to take a little longer drive for our monthly road trip.
