Virginia Creeper Trail

 









"35 mile multi-purpose rail trail. Southwestern Virginia, Abingdon to Whitetop, VA. 
near Mount Rogers National Recreation area and the North Carolina state line."


I've lost count the number of time we have taken the time to enjoy and ride this trail. Normally we would go with a tour ...but we were staying in a local Air BNB, due to our recent trailer selling event. We have motorized bikes and when we do get tried we are able to just motor along back to where we need to be. I always joke that my hubby does it more than I ... I look forward to the exercise more, now I am not saying I don't use the motorized part, 'cause I do, but I try to be more sparingly. LOL!! So we are trying this out, for me it is just nice not to have to run to the bathroom at night when need be, you have indoor plumbing. To keep it short and sweet and not be to much TMI, we only used our Casita for liquids no solid. GOT IT?? hope so. LOL!! During many walks over the period we had the Casita, I got to see skunks, racoons, thankfully NO BEARS, but that is just no fun …and walking by yourself at night is just no fun. 'NOUGH SAID!!! July 2023 we took the time to ride 2 different sections of the Virginia Creeper Trail, one closer to the Abingdon area, which we had never done before and it is a totally different area, more unshaded and less rocks ...the photos shown above are around about Damascus, Virginia. Thank you for stopping by today. Hope you are well. Take Care. Beth ( ;

It looks like a really nice trail. Yeah, now that I’m older, I cannot imagine camping without an indoor bathroom.

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get

Bass Pro Shop, Memphis, Tennessee

Bass Pro Shop, "Memphis Pyramid", in Tennessee. We always enjoy visiting Brass Pro Shops around the USA. They are so always so creative, all different and interesting to see what they will be sharing. We are not fisher people. we just can appreciate the business. All sorts of games to play. Shopping. Lodging. Restaurants. In the brochure you can get at the front door this quote can be seen... "Ride the tallest freestanding elevator in America. Experience a ride to the top of the Pyramid in the 28-story glass elevator. Once you are at the top, stand on glass-floored observation decks that offer 360-degree views 300 feet above Memphis and the Mississippi River." (we didn't do this, it does cost extra doe to ride on up. but fun to see from the bottom looking up.) A must see if you are in the Memphis,TN. area. Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your day!
