      Wasn't able to go very far into the lake because of the mud but I have been there before in the winter when the ground is dry and you can explore a lot more. We had a great day. Thanks for watching :)

      Isn't it crazy!! Hidden Mickeys can be found anywhere nowadays lol. Thanks so much for watching. It was a spring-like day here in WV and after last week's below zero temperatures we needed it.

      You never know what you can find in some of the lakes off the beaten path. This area is absolutely beautiful in the spring and summer. I meant to insert a photo of this but forgot while I was editing. Thanks for watching :)

      Thanks! I forgot to put in some photos of the lake in the Spring/Summer. It was getting late and my brain was draining faster than normal lol.

      The Dam pretty much looks the same all year round however the lake is another story!! This area is so beautiful in the spring and summer- its a complete 360!! Thanks for watching :)

      This lake is amazing in the summertime. My wife's parents have a pontoon boat there and its so relaxing spending the day on the lake. There is a lot to do here if your into the outdoors. Its one of WV hidden gems!! Thanks for watching :)

      @travelingspanky6144  5 років тому

      Thanks for hitting that like button so hard!!! lol Your absolutely right about Tygart Lake being so beautiful in the Spring/Summer. I guess that pretty much all of the northern areas. I forget to insert photos to compare the winter scenery to summer. Thanks for watching!!

    Went from negative to almost 70 in 2 or 3 days. I actually did a little gardening stuff on Sunday lol Prepping everything a little. We go to Tygart at least once a year, dad and I used to fish below the dam when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing this!

    • @travelingspanky6144

      Weather has been crazy around here huh? Tomorrow supposed to get up to 70! Tygart Lake is one of WV hidden gems. Not so pretty now but looks awesome in the summer. We need to meet up soon and do a collab

    That’s so awful that some are buried in that wall. It’s a beautiful area there. Hidden Mickey!! 😃😀

      I think it was pretty common back in the old days that accidents would happen whenever dealing with concrete and large structures that workers would fall into the forming concrete and be lost forever. There are quite a few men that fell into the Hoover Dam when being built. Never know where you will find a Hidden Mickey!!!! Thanks for watching :)

      Didn't find any old cars or bodies on that day but you never know what you may run into lol. It really is a beautiful area in the summer. I will need to return and do a video then. Thanks for watching :)

    That looks cold! I'm a stickler for the rules too, so I would not have driven down there, glad you made it on foot. Cool place, have you shown it in a previous video in the summer? Old cars and bodies, LOL! You guys were the only ones brave enough to be out there :) Have a wonderful and blessed day ----Stacy 😍💚

      It was actually a really warm day when we went. At one point I had to take off my jacket because I was sweating. I have never done a video yet in the summer but I need too. Its a beautiful place in the summer. I meant to insert a pic of the lake in the summertime but forgot while I was editing. Thanks for watching :)

    I'm cracking up at the end of the vlog..... you walk away and Aiden is left standing there, Patty leaves the camera on him, he has this blank look on his face and then just starts shaking his head ….. at you I'm sure. LOL

    • @travelingspanky6144
      @travelingspanky6144  5 років тому

      Life's A Whirlwind I love that part too! Aden made this video so much better by being in it.

    Why do they drain the lake in winter? 🤔
    Where is the other guy? Did you bury him in the dam? 😭

    • @travelingspanky6144
      @travelingspanky6144  5 років тому

      The other guy? lol I'm guessing you mean my oldest son- Brenden. He was being a party pooper and didn't want to come outside. I think one of the reasons for draining the lake is to have better control of the water levels due to snow melt and to control ice damage to the existing structures.

      Without this video documenting my channel name in the snow I think it would have been lost within hours. It was a warm day and the snow was melting fast. Thanks for watching :)
