Jeremy Reynolds found a lost ski area in Virginia, and was lucky enough to talk to the current land owner and to take some photos. Jeremy writes:

A PIECE OF THE MOUNTAIN
by Helene Bowen
A man had a dream of a mountain resort where families and friends could get together to ski, hike, golf,
swim or just sit by the fire in the Club House. Little did he know that it would never be! During many years to follow, he and his team tried to accomplish this dream. Rocky terrain, sewer/drainage and switch-back problems halted production and construction of housing, etc.---- never to finish his dream of Mountain Run Resort in Shenandoah, Virginia!
In the beginning, our family had a dream of a vacation spot to enjoy the outdoors, the beautiful views of nature and life as well as hiking, skiing, swimming, photographing the gorgeous scenery and more.
We bought a lot on top of the mountain at Mountain Run Resort. We were excited as we explored housing styles, places to visit in the surrounds and waited for the owners to apprise us of continuing development. Little did we know our dreams were never to be!
We are still owners of a piece of the mountain! And a further kick in the pocket book, we're still paying property taxes!
What if.......
hikers/hunters rented a plot in the forest, from current owners, as a
camp-site, (an Open-Air-BNB) a place to set up their backpacks,
equipment, etc. while they go hunting, hiking, photographing, etc. in
the woods? What are your thoughts?
