Creeeeeeepy!

One of the things we were really excited about when we moved to Germantown was that our townhouse is about 2 miles away from an amazing park, Seneca Creek State Park. So far we've gone mountain biking, walked through the woods, checked out kayak rentals (off season, unfortunately), played disc golf, and saw the initial set up stages of what should be quite an elaborate Christmas light display. Imagine my surprise when I randomly came across a website stating that over 70% of the Blair Witch Project was filmed in our happy local Seneca Creek State Park (which is no where near Burkittsville where it supposedly took place). So of course since Mike happens to own the VHS copy of the movie, we decided to creep ourselves out by re-watching it and then subsequently driving to the area of the park where it was filmed to find some of the notable scenes.

Classic Maryland photo, and also the Barn where the kids in the film parked before heading out on their adventure:


Coffin Rock (there's a cave behind it). One of the first check points that the kids arrived at for their film:


Crossing the log that the kids crossed, and then realized they were walking in circles when they saw it again (yep, we actually crossed it!):


The barn again, on our way out -- looking even creepier:

Lisa, you should have pushed Mike into the creek when he was on the log.
