The sheltered side, away from the wind and rain. This is where you want to plant your tent. Your flag is a different story.

Thrillist - The most underrated place in every state
Welcome back! Since this is both spring break for many in education and when people start planning vacations, we're featuring Thrillist's list of the most underrated places in each state today. Here's a quick sampler:
Maryland
Cumberland
Why you need to go: Manufacturing towns that have lost their luster since the jobs moved south are more or less the stuff of Springsteen legends, but unlike so many of those the Boss mentions, this one has seen a resurgence as an outdoor recreation destination. Visitors can hike through the C&O Canal, explore the Green Ridge State Forest, or bicycle off-road on the Great Allegheny Passage trail. It’s also home to the Rocky Gap Casino, which maintains a Jack Nicklaus Golf Course and four major museums (including George Washington's headquarters, if you want a little history fix). Must-do: Float fish on the north branch of the Potomac. Fishing, floating -- it essentially combines two of the best beer-drinking activities on the planet.
These recommendations are solid. We've been to a handful of these places, and they are indeed excellent. Go check out the article and happy travels!
