Blue Lake

CHESTER, WV - At first I wasn’t going to post about Blue Lake. I was so disappointed in the experience. But after some thought I decided my righteous indignation needed an outlet, so here it is.
Okay, this is going to be a bit more indignation than righteous considering what gives the lake that lovely blue glow you see in the Google snapshot is due to chemical runoff, and chemical runoff is never righteous.
So, I wandered down to Chester, WV primarily to see the Blue Lake because I had heard so much about it. I even work with a kid who lives just across the state line and he insisted that that it’s chemically induced liquid was truly majestic. He also said that going at night was the best, it’s when you see the lake glowing.
