You're about 500-600 yds. straight line distance from where I was born and raised.

As you're going up the road to Jerry's farm, if you look off to the left, you're looking right at the Owl's Head. Used to be a lot of 'seng on that ridge. About 2.5 miles on out the ridge, my uncle Jack Hays had a farm that we used to find a lot of stone arrowheads on when we plowed every spring. Dad had 2 gas wells he trended up on the hill in the middle of a big beech tree grove. Now, Wheeling Jesuit University bought all the ground, and turned it into an experimental forest. I think they use it for their biology program.
When we were kids, we got ahold of some military surplus 30-06 tracer ammo, and were shooting it at the Owl's Head after dark, enjoying the glow from the tracers. Until one of them landed in some dry brush, and set fire to the hillside. We had to beat feet up the ridge on dirtbikes and trucks and put it out before the law found out. Ahhhhh, the exuberance of youth.

Been awhile since I was up on there. Last I heard, WJU was using the ground. Things must have changed, and I hadn't heard. That's good, more public ground for everyone to use. At least it didn't get bought up and posted. I think the new official flower of this state is the "no trespassing" sign. Thre sure are a lot of them blooming around here, anyway.

Heres the info about it.
Lantz Farm and Nature Preserve (540 acres) Wetzel County. Located along U.S. Route 20 at Jacksonburg. Additional access is by way of county Route 82 (Buffalo Run Road). Terrain is gently rolling to moderately steep and ranges in elevation from 736 feet to 1,475 feet. The area is dominated by old growth oak-hickory and cove hardwood forests and large open fields. A portion of the area is safety zoned from hunting due to recreational facilities (i.e., interpretive nature trail, fishing pond). Deer, squirrel and turkey are the primary game species. Trout are stocked in the South Fork of Fishing Creek which runs through the area. No camping facilities are present on the area. Owned by Wheeling Jesuit University and cooperatively managed by the WVDNR.
