Riding the GAP from the Deal Trailhead to Frostburg and ending in Cumberland was mostly, a great…read moreexperience. The views are spectacular, rolling hills and so many colors of green and blue were breathtaking. Mile 9 was NOT our favorite mile. There is trail maintenance happening and that's a GOOD thing, but...the gravel is thick in many areas so riding the bike was sketchy at best. Thankfully it wasn't much more than that mile. I loved the train track right next to the trail and my prayers were answered when, lo and behold, a train appeared! It was stopped so as to clear a fallen tree but once removed (minutes) they were on their way. The train was filled with people who were happy to see bikers on the trail as we were happy to see, and wave at them. Great trail.

The Owner Hutch, A.K.A. "Jesus" (its the hair) is an absolute hoot, and a great business owner. We…read morecalled from the road in Frostburg, worried we would waste much of our next planned cycling day on the GAP. He said come on over, stayed open past time on Thursday 2 SEP to help two random out of town bicyclists. He not only helped but let me in the sacred space in the shop and showed me how to deal with the wheel on my Cannondale Topstone...I was afraid of the disc brakes [had tube, levers and pump], but had not practised removing a wheel or bothered to watch a YouTube video. I had spent 32 glorious miles on the GAP with my wonderful spouse...last 2 walked in cleats! Painful lesson on preparing ahead of time...so embarressed and me a boy scout and Army Vet. Thank you Hutch for your service in our brother USAF! Blessings always. I am sure this would be our go-to place if we lived anywhere within an hour...would be totally worth the drive.

I have golfed here several times - each ending with me cursing to the clouds and swearing off the…read moresport. But apart from my handicap (which is golf), this course is pretty much the gold standard of courses. The course is well-maintained, the fairways and greens are lush and groomed. The course has GPS tracking so carts have range meters for your distance to the pin, but also lock up the cart if you're off course etc. I like this course a lot. Just wish I personally was better.

The new pro is very rude. I checked in as a member on a…read moreSunday, the pro ran out of the office, asked the clerk if I had the 7 day membership the man said yes I checked it. The pro then asked my name, pulled out a list and double checked it. He was very rude to the gentleman working there. They raised the cost of the 7 day membership from $300 to $750. Jacked up the cart fees $20 more than last year and $30 more for guests. You now have to get a bucket of balls from the pro shop to use the driving range which is included in the membership. You are no longer allowed to bring your own Gatorade, you have to purchase it from the course. Here's the real crime. Hot dogs are $8, a 20 oz rootbeer $4, a very small bag of chips $2.50. 4 hot dogs with chips and one root beer $50. You get a 15% discount with the membership but I was told that don't apply at the shack after the 9th hole. So $50 for 4 hotdogs and to add insult to injury the hot dogs were cold and the rolls were stale. Rocky Gap has made it nearly impossible for the locals to afford to play the course they've been playing since it was built, then to prohibit bringing a Gatorade or a snack so they can rape you with their products at absorbent prices and serve the food cold. This outing was a slap in the face from checking in time and just got worse as the day went on. The course was in decent shape other than the bunkers which were horrible and some construction on hole #7, its temporarily a par 3 during construction. Despite the efforts of the golf pro to be as rude as he can, we had a beautiful day and enjoyed golfing with good friends. The greed of our local golf course of so many years is truly shameful. Most of the seniors I know can no longer afford the membership and the $55 fee as a guest limits them to one round a year if they're lucky. SHAME ON YOU ROCKY GAP You're not a Country Club, stop charging like you are one!

I have known Steve for many years as he once worked at another art gallery in the area where I…read morewould buy art and get pieces framed. His level of expertise and guidance is really second to none. Now that he has opened his own place and gallery, totally renovated the building he is opened in, I have made it a point to take my business to him for a variety of needs. The layout is very open and bright- brand new hardwood flooring and white walls with built ins for pottery and ceramic pieces that are for sale. They also have a small variety of local art and art that Steve himself has done as well. The selection is a bit small due to just opening, but from what he has said there will be shows and more art coming in the next few weeks. I have actually taken two pieces to him today to be matted and framed. Steve is very helpful, genuine, and his quality of work is incredible. Thanks and looking forward to more great work!

Worth it for to drive a 4 hour round trip! The framing is always perfect, they wrap up the work. It…read moreis the best framer!
