I’m truly humbled by the opportunity to serve my community during this tough time. But also in absolute awe of the selflessness and empathy of each and every volunteer that I have had the opportunity to work with. We’ve smiled with folks, hugged folks, cried with them and laughed until our faces hurt. Broke bread with them, helped them wash things and provided when many thought there wasn’t another avenue. The stories of resiliency, grit, hurt and survival in the last 48hrs is pretty amazing. Lord thank you for this opportunity. Cannot wait for tomorrow. #usohvalliance #usohv #usohva #thankful #offroad #protecttheexperience #jeep #wheelright #dirtbike

Another beautiful day in WV!

Another awesome day out exploring everything that WV has to offer. Another 80 miles clipped off on backroads and trails seeing the best WV has to offer. Who knew Fairmont WV had locks on the river and shipped coal up to Pittsburgh for the steel industry? there were navigation locks associated with the river system at Fairmont, though not a major standalone lock directly on the upper Tygart River itself the way people often picture Mississippi-style locks.

At Fairmont, the Tygart Valley River joins the West Fork River to form the Monongahela River. Around the early 1900s, a system of locks and dams was built on the Monongahela to allow coal barges and industrial traffic to move between Fairmont and Pittsburgh. Slackwater navigation officially reached Fairmont in 1903 with completion of Locks and Dams 10–15.

Those older locks were downstream from the confluence near Fairmont rather than far upriver on the Tygart itself. The modern replacement for that navigation system is the Opekiska Lock and Dam near Morgantown. Its upstream pool actually backs water up toward Fairmont and slightly into both the Tygart and West Fork rivers.

So if you heard older locals talk about “the lock on the Tygart” around Fairmont, they were usually referring to:
• the Monongahela navigation lock system connected to Fairmont’s river traffic, or
• backed-up navigation pools extending into the Tygart River area.

Coal transportation was a huge reason those locks existed, tying Fairmont directly into Pittsburgh’s steel industry economy. #usohvalliance #usohveducation #offroad #utv #jeep #wheelright #usohv #dirtbike #usohva #kingofthehammers

Trail etiquette matters.

When you encounter horses on the trail, slow down immediately, pull safely to the side, shut off your machine if needed, and let the rider guide the interaction. Horses can spook easily, even from experienced riders and quiet machines.

A few seconds of respect can prevent injuries, protect access, and build stronger relationships between all outdoor user groups. Whether you ride OHVs, horses, bikes, or hike — we all share responsibility for protecting the experience.

Responsible riders keep trails open.
Respect goes a long way out on the trail.

From boots-on-the-ground trail cleanups to big-picture conversations with businesses stepping up to support responsible recreation—this movement is real, and it’s growing fast.

And yeah… we’re having a damn good time doing it. 🤘
