Treasure on the Mountain 2018
Side view of Treasure on the Mountain Event 2018
On August 4th, 2018 I once again got to attend the Treasure on the Mountain gun bash in Snowshoe WV. This event is one that I often attend as even if I don't win anything I still manage to eat some great food, relax, enjoy the sights, and spend time with my wife and/or dad.

The event is hosted by snowshoefoundation.org and benefits a lot of charity programs while giving attendees a chance at winning some very nice prizes ranging from vacations to guns, cars, trucks, cash, and more.

Your main ticket purchase gets you access into the event, a ton of food, and one hell of a view from on top of the world. When you arrive you'll have to find parking at one of the lots however they run shuttles all day long during the event so parking anywhere remotely close to the venue is fine.

I've attended this event on and off for a few years and have yet to get my chance to jump on stage and claim anything but never once regretted attending. The first time I attended I got to hang out with some of the cast of Buck Wild and spent most of the event talking to Shain Gandee's family and browsing the gun show they had at that time while enjoying some awesome Gandee Candy. Like any gun bash, they offer tips games, floor raffles, and a fun time for anyone who is into hunting.

Dodge City KS

Our first stop on the 2018 road trip, Dodge City Kansas offered a glimpse back in time to the Wild West as well as some of the best steaks I've ever had. During our stay, we put up at the Super 8 motel and began our explorations from there by first stopping at the visitors center to find out exactly what we should be trying to see while in town. We did a quick walk around town due to it being late and most of the attractions being closed at that time and enjoyed seeing the walk of fame plaques, various statues, and historical markers. The next morning we headed to Boot Hill Museum which is a must stop for anyone into the Wild West, Native Americans, Wyatt Earp, or Gunsmoke fans. The museum features a re-creation of an entire 1800's town, tons of artifacts, a gift shop, and a few original buildings you can explore. Now Dodge City is the "Queen of the Cow Towns" and as such, the stockyard overlook is something we had to visit and I was determined to find a g

Cool Springs Park

Located along Rt. 50 in Preston County near the town of Rowlesburg is a small store/restaurant known as Cool Springs Park. Located beside the store is a clearing converted into a park with an iconic water wheel, trains, tractors, and other neat relics for visitors to walk around and see along with picnic tables and pavilions. This is another one of those little roadside attractions that's worth a stop if you're in that neck of the woods. I remember going here as a kid with my parents to eat lunch at one of the picnic tables and walking around seeing all the antique tractors. While the park is a big draw for passer-bys the store itself has fuel, food, cold drinks, souvenirs, and just about anything else you can think of. Cool Springs Park is an interesting stop on your travels that doesn't take long but provides a nice rest stop to gas up your car, stretch your legs, and enjoy some food in the mountains of rural West Virginia while being surrounded by remnants of its

Photography Info

I often get asked what camera I use for some of the photos on this blog, my Facebook, or many of the other pages and sites I run. Most of the standard photos you see here will be taken by me using a Nikon D5200 ,  Canon PowerShot SX530 , or Samsung Galaxy S9+ in the event underwater images appear here they'll be from a Fujifilm XP90 or Fujifilm XP120 . I'm not a professional photographer by any means, even though I'm doing my best to learn as much as I can to improve my images when possible as I'm very interested in macro, night time/low light, and nature photography. I would highly recommend the Nikon brand of DSLR's to anyone who is serious about photography and willing to learn more than just the basics. You can get decent results from a cheaper point and shoot as well if you just want to take a few images here and there, for example, the image above was taken with a Samsung DV50 which is available for less than $250 as a cheaper pocket-sized alternati
