Taft. It was Methodist based, and life revolved around a 5,000 seat amphitheater.
    It is located in the mountains of Western, MD, and is an impoverished area, but, because of the railroads, was apparently more wealthy then.
    Henry Ford & Thomas Edison were among those who vacationed in the area.
    Apparently, there were seasons of some form of revival. The hymn, or song, a Power in the Blood was written here during one of those seasons.
    The next town over was Loch Lynn, and partly because of activities at a hotel there a popular saying was born, "For Jesus' sake, come to Mountain Lake. For sin's sake go to Loch Lynn."
    Today, a lot of wealthy retirees live in the huge Victorian homes in the summer and leave for warmer temps over the harsh, snowy winters.
    Here is some history.

    This article is about Mountain Lake Park, and the lady, Mrs. Hayden, is technically our landlord-though her family administers it since she is in a nursing home now.

    Remember the table I posted yesterday, can you find it now? 30 inches later-and still falling.

    Sure do feel sorry for ya'all! We had a beautiful sun shiny day and most of the snow has melted off. It will be 40 degrees tomorrow. But I will be thinking about ya'all!

    We'll probably have 16 inches before it's all said and done. At least.

    Actually I can relate...its usually the Midwest that gets hit but this time we can sit back, breathe a sigh of relief and watch what happened in other states on TV.

    If you tried to do a snow angel in that you'd disappear and never be heard from again.

    I think we got about 28 inches. Shoveled for about 2 hours and then gave up. Will try again tomorrow.
