Sorry to be confusing, the damage I mentioned is not disrupting the trail anymore. It is just still very noticeable along the side of the trail. I have heard several people come through the area and wonder what happened. The trail is in fine shape.
I will keep an eye out on May 8th. If I do see you I will for sure flag you down. As for eateries in the downtown area; there are two places just a block over that are popular. Millersburg Brewing Company and Bag's Sports Pub. I would recommend The Cider Press but they are closed on Mondays.
Thanks for following me onto this site - it's not just YouTube where I have followers I guess :-). And appreciate the info from a local. I'll be rolling into Hotel Millersburg May 8 so if you see me rolling, give a wave and flag me down; I'd be happy to chat. I was planning on getting something to eat at the hotel bar - any better suggestions in the Millersburg downtown area?
Interesting last year's damage still exists to a decent degree. There was a fellow YouTuber (Denise Looking Out) who rode that area last year and I think she was in the thick of it. I ride with a lighter load on my bike than she does (theoretically - I've never weighed her bike :-)) so I should be able to lift over obstacles or even reroute to different areas if need be.
I hope you have a wonderful trip! I have enjoyed your journals since I found them over on another site. I am really looking forward to this one as I live on the OTET in Millersburg. I have ridden the stretch of the OTET from Mt Vernon to Fredericksburg often. If you have any questions let me know I would be happy to help or offer advice for the area.
South of Fredericksburg you will see a lot of trees down from a storm that went through last June. Huge disruption in the area with power out and extensive road reroutes. The damage is still impressive 10 months later.
Safe and happy travels!
Looks like a fun trip. I'll look forward to following along. Too bad I have to wait though!

Food pix? If you like shots of food, go for it! It is your journal and your memories... Some like churches, some like barns, some like doors, some like scenery, some like people, some like history, some like signs and on and on. Being an oddball myself, I have always posted a lot of nature stuff. To each his own.
