Hidden Valley Recreation Area
Encompassing 180 acres in the George Washington National Forest in Bath County, the Hidden Valley Recreation Area is one of our favorite places. It has a great, little campground that is managed by the best hosts, Toni and Judy, who work very hard to keep it clean and neat. The beautiful Jackson River runs through…

Jackson River Scenic Trail
The Jackson River Trail is approximately 16 miles long following the Jackson River flowing south from Cedar Creek To downtown Covington, Virginia. We wanted to ride from Cedar Creek down, but that section isn’t finished yet, so we went down to Natural Well, first riding north as far as we could, then riding south for…

Abingdon, VA
Friday, May 13, 2022 18 Airstreams lined Remsburg Drive in downtown Abingdon for a Silver in The Streets Rally. Coffee and breakfast sandwiches brought everyone out on the street on a beautiful morning. It’s interesting to see how other Airstreamers do things. I enjoyed talking with Bruce Campbell and seeing how he had setup his…

Biking Cades Cove Loop
Wednesday, August 11. 2021 At 7:00 everyone was still sleeping, so I went up to the picnic area thinking I would try fishing Anthony Creek for an hour. As I put my rod together, two guys in their 60’s parked next to me and got their hiking gear out. I asked if they were going…

Burke’s Garden
“God’s Thumbprint”, “Vanderbilt’s first choice”, “Garden Spot of the World”, or as the locals call it, simply “The Garden” are impressive titles for an area I have wanted to visit for a long time. As the story goes, James Burke camped here with James Patton in 1750, burying some potato peels. Another party camping in…

We enjoyed a nice breakfast hosted by Peter and Stephanie. One of the many attractions of Abingdon is the Virginia Creeper Trail, an old railroad…

Bike The New River Trail
Saturday August 8, 2020 Karen was determined to get in a good ride on the New River Trail. This time I checked everyone’s tires, making sure Josh’s were good. His brake was also too tight, not letting the wheels turn freely, so we fixed that. Mark and Sue Ann told us about a good section…

Galax, Virginia: Golf, Fishing, Biking New River Trail
Wednesday August 5, 2020 There is a fishing pond on the golf course, so Josh and I walked over to give it a try. It wasn’t long before Melissa came to join us. I was impressed by her interest, then by her patience and observation. However, we had no luck. The pond was a bit…

Tuesday, September 10, 2019 We went down to North Lake Harbor, declared the tuna fishing capital of the world, probably by Tony’s Tuna Fishing. He exports to Japan and China. We stopped at North Lake Fisheries store/restaurant, where Tony’s wife, a trained chef, features rice bowls. Martha bought 3/4 pound of tuna and ¾ pound…

Bike Greater Allegheny Passage
Thursday, June 21, 2018 After a night of very heavy rain, we waited until 10:00 to start biking. In the meantime I had to go see the slide, a natural shoot on Meadow Run. It is the most popular place in the park where you can slide down the river on the rocks. You are…
