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…

Hidden Valley
If I could catch as many fish as I took flower pictures, I would be in paradise. Similar to Big Meadows in Shenandoah National Park, you could take pictures in all seasons and they would be different. We didn’t see any bears or signs of bears, but surely they are here. There are lots of…

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…

Hidden Valley Recreation Area, Bath County, Virginia
Monday/Tuesday, July 8, 2024 I have been to Hidden Valley several times to fish the Jackson River, but I wanted to return to explore more of the area. A beautiful B&B, Warwickton built in 1848, sits in the heart of the property, but I love staying in the campground with our Airstream. The campsite fee…

Silver in The Streets, Saturday
May 18, 2024 Saturday’s highlight is the Farmer’s Market, which is conveniently at the end of our street. Starting at 8:00 gave us time to have coffee and sweet rolls as well as cleaning up our trailers. As a good will gesture, people can go into our trailers and check them out like an open…

Silver in The Streets, Friday
Friday, May 17, 2024 The weather forecast for our stay in Abingdon wasn’t good, but it kept changing. It’s a tradition to gather around the coffee pot and sweet rolls in the morning. I asked Jeff about the hike to “The Devil’s Bathtub”. He said it was an hour drive, a two-mile hike out and…

Silver in The Streets, Abingdon, Virginia
Thursday, May 16. 2024 This is the fourth year we have held this Airstream Rally in Abingdon. The concept of Silver in The Streets is one mutually beneficial to Airstreamers and to the town. Abingdon closes down Remsburg Drive for us, and we parked 14 Airstreams on it. This little town has it all; history,…

Abingdon, Virginia Farmer’s Market
Saturday, May14, 2022 One of the highlights of the Virginia Airstream Club’s Silver in The Streets rally is the farmer’s market at the end of Remsburg Drive. It is one of my favorite farmer’s markets. Seemingly small, there is a lot of good stuff. One guy is so well-know for his strawberries, they are usually…

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…

Grayson Highlands State Park
Tuesday, October 18, 2021 Preparing for the trip to Grayson Highlands, I turned on the propane and started the refrigerator in the Airstream. Luckily, I went back for something and smelled smoke. Checking the refrigerator vent, I saw smoke coming out and quickly turned it off. I already have a leaking water tank – now…
