Rock-n-Creek Cabin will be host to several gatherings spring and summer of 2012 up on the mountain in Montebello, VA.  Events are currently in the works and dates will be forthcoming soon. We are calling all local musicians interested in participating. If interested, e-mail contact@rockncreekcabin.com tell us about yourselves.

We have several different venues planned. Since Rock-n-Creek Cabin is Biker Friendly we will be having a bike specific event. The Mountain Crawl® will be planned around the biking community and will offer several guided rides through the scenic by-ways throughout the George Washington National Forest, Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounding areas. Along the route there will be planned stops of interest with a provided bagged lunch.  The afternoons and evenings will offer entertainment, campfires, food and camaraderie. This will be a camp-out style event. Rock-n-Creek Cabin will offer a complimentary bike wash area with all the supplies provided and maybe a few bike washing babes to Get R Done. Donations will be excepted for a local charity. Interested in a fun weekend riding, eating and chewing the fat,,, drop us a line and tell us what you think.

Arriving Saturday Febuary 11, 2012 a youth group from Elkridge, Maryland will brave the cold mountain temperatures at Rock-n-Creek Cabin. Fourteen youths ages 15-18 years of age and five adult chaperones will converge on the mountain for a weekend of extreme camping. Weather forecast for Saturday, High’s only reaching 33° and lows 15° and a fifty percent chance of mountain snow showers. Rock-n-Creek Cabin will serve as a safe haven for those that can’t bear the extreme and will offer warm and cozy beds.

Activities planned will be hikes to Crab Tree Fall’s, Blazing Campfires and Camp Food prepared by youths. Gourmet specialities such as Silver Turtles, Hot Dogs and S’Mores will be the featured eat’s. Youth’s will rally around a wagon train of tents and campfires for their evening events and stargaze into a clear star-lite night.  Just think how they react when they realize there is no cell reception, no texting or gaming for an entire weekend. This will be interesting and I will post a follow up blog.

While most motorcycle riders clean up their rides and store them for the winter. Those that live in the mountains ride any chance they get. This year winter temperatures have been in the 50′s, 60′s and even 70′s which gives no excuse to get out on the highway and enjoy the scenic by-ways. The Blue Ridge Parkway is just a stones throw from Rock-n-Creek Cabin which is biker friendly and offers secured covered parking for those treasures. Don’t wait till spring when there’s great weather now to get in the wind. Give us a call and make plans to visit our cabin ride to Crabtree Falls and experience the Parkway in winter.
