INSIDER TIP: Do not believe the weather forecast u

INSIDER TIP: Do not believe the weather forecast until 24 hours out. I’ve been sharing this tip with so many people lately...mostly those posting about their weather worries in the Deep Creek groups on Facebook. I get it! No one wants the weather to be bad on their vacation! But looking at the forecast too far in advance is going to likely give you some false sense of what it’ll actually be! So take my word for it...this comes from many years as a photographer depending on the weather to shoot outdoors. The weather forecast for next week will look different than it does today. The weather forecast for tomorrow may look different than it does today. And if there’s a chance of storms, you bet it’ll be different tomorrow than what it says today. Heck, it’ll be different in just a couple of hours! So sit back, chill about the long range forecast and enjoy this quick video of a most amazing lake view...😎🥰🌲 #fortheloveofthelake #fortheloveofthegreatoutdoors #fortheloveofgettingaway #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #deepcreektimes #garrettcountymd #marylandtourism #visitmaryland

Got my State Park Pass! Anyone else!? Also, did you know you can purchase these at our state parks!? I had no idea and was so glad I mentioned needing one to the attendant at Deep Creek Lake State Park! Just $75 for the year if you’re a Maryland resident! And if you come to Deep Creek often, you know how amazing our state parks are and how frequently this pass will come in handy! Head to @marylanddnr website to get one online, too! 🌲🌲 #fortheloveofthegreatoutdoors #fortheloveofdeepcreek #marylandgetaway #marylandstateparks #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #garrettcounty #garrettcountymd

OPEN FOR THE SEASON: Klotz Corn Shack on route 42

OPEN FOR THE SEASON: Klotz Corn Shack on route 42 between Friendsville and McHenry, just minutes from the lake! Jack and I stopped in there today and picked up a dozen ears of corn, green peppers and the biggest, reddest tomatoes I’ve ever seen (their tomatoes always look so darn good). They had just run out of cantaloupe but will be getting more on Tuesday! They’re open daily 9:30-6 and their hours are subject to change...because sometimes they run out of stuff because everyone loves this place! 🥰 #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #garrettcountymd #marylandfarmers #marylandfarmersmarket

LIVE FROM THE LAKEFRONT!!! We’ve been so warm and dry...up until the past few days. Finally, some rain. And this evening, a rainbow over the lake...😍 #fortheloveofthelake #fortheloveofthegreatoutdoors #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #garrettcounty #garrettcountymd #deepcreektimes

SIZE UPDATE, round 2!!! Introducing the “Even In Summer (You Need A Sweatshirt At Deep Creek) Hoodie” 👍🏻🎉🥰 I shared these quickly and spontaneously yesterday on stories and sold a handful right away! Now I’m down to just 16 hoodies left for this first run! Ladies of Deep Creek, these are for you! Blush in color, crazy soft (fleece-like inside) and a tapered bottom for some style. They’re $35 plus sales tax and I’ve only got 9 hoodies left! I can drop off in Garrett County or it’s $5 for shipping. To snag one, comment with your size choice and send me a message with your email address. Because...WE LOVE DEEP CREEK! 😍🙌🏻 #fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #garrettcountymd #mdinfocus #visitmaryland #marylandgetaway

Shared this over at @jessicafike but I’m going to share it here, too...😊
We don’t live at the lake, but we’re just five minutes away. Sometimes I wish we didn’t live so close so that we could actually come and go and enjoy it like all the other visitors do (over 1 million a year 😱)...you know, like an actual vacation, ha! But then again, I’d love to live at the lake someday. I tell Brian often, yet he’s opposed. He’d rather have a bunch of acreage in the middle of nowhere with no one around. But man, getting up each day to a view like this! I can’t help to think how amazing it would be! Having coffee with a lake view, the kids running in the yard and splashing in the water and jumping off a dock. Having friends and family over to enjoy the lake with us! I also have this dream that I’ll find acres and acres of lakefront land and build some kind of gathering space...for weddings, for group retreats. (I’ll also need to find millions of dollars, too. 😂🤩) Deep Creek has been a gathering place for my family for years. My grandparents bought a cabin here in the 70s and my parents and uncles spent some of their childhood visiting the lake in summers. Eventually my siblings and I were added to the group and we came every summer too...often times bringing friends and introducing them to Deep Creek. Now Brian and I are living here and I get to work with people who are also using Deep Creek as a gathering place. For weddings, family vacations, family reunions, weekend getaways. I get so much joy and excitement knowing that Deep Creek is bringing people together! It’s a powerful thing...bringing people together, you know. This place has power and I hope to have a bigger slice of it someday...even if it means convincing the husband and finding millions of dollars first. 😂😅 Also, we got to try paddle boarding for the first time last week thanks to @kristashurer and her husband’s family! They gathered at the lake for a family vacation and then invited us to join them. Seeeee the gathering just never stops here! 💪🏻🎉#fortheloveofdeepcreek #deepcreeklake #deepcreeklakemd #deepcreektimes #garrettcounty #garrettcountymd #mdinfocus #visitmaryland #marylandtourism
