On one of my frequent trips between MI and MD, I took a detour to Cacapon Lodge at Cacapon Resort State Park.
It was Sunday night when I drove into Berkeley Springs, WV. I figured that since the machine was in a lodge, it must be open 24-7. The park actually closes at 10PM, and it was 9:30PM when I got to the gates. I have no doubt that it’s a beautiful park, but at night, the Cacapon was incredibly creepy. Past the gates, the road winds through a forest of trees. It reminded me of the scene where Snow White was running away from the evil stepmother.
The fun didn’t end when the pennies were pressed. When I got home, I realized that it was impossible to tell what the initials on the coins were.
If you look at a vertical coin, the initials look like “CZC”
If you look at a horizontal coin, the initials look like “UNU”
The jury’s not out on this one, but you can see for yourself here:
