Kaymoor Trail Reopens After Flood Damage
The 5 mile Kaymoor Trail in New River Gorge reopened after crews removed an approximate 9 acre slide from July 8 2001 flooding and laid down rocks for low water crossings. Four bridges remain unreplaced though the Thurmond Minden Trail is open with visible flood damage. Nearby, a travel agency investigation in Clarksburg questions up to 500 customers stranded on Hawaiian vacations. The Widen Poplar may join the National Register of Historic Trees, with nominations rising statewide.
