the national conservation training center is a fish & wildlife service facility used by all of the dept of interior bureaus --- right on the potomac river just north of shepherdstown, west virginia, is a part of the federal largesse showered on the state by the late sen. byrd --- purty much defines "bucolic"

three great residential lodges, fitness center, really nice training facilities, and a big-ass dining hall with just about the best food you could wish for a place like that --- a lot of trails but it rained most of the time so the trails were a mess, although i did get down to the river yesterday
