Oh I wish we were on the road. We stop at Wytheville Va for gas on our way to NC. Most of the time its the lowest price between OH and NC.

The prices at the Troutville exit off I-81 are almost always several cents lower than at Wytheville. It's a few miles north of the I-581 (Roanoke) exit. 87 octane was $1.919 this PM.

Thanks

We began our trip with a few days in Mountain View at the Spring Bluegrass Festival before moving on to Bristol and the combined jam and show at Heartwood. While there we refreshed our friendship with folks we met here two years ago while making our first run up The Crooked Road and visited the Birth of Country Music Museum in Bristol.

We've been in Wytheville a few days and went to a jam on Thursday night, ending the evening at McDonald's where we reminisced with 'Junior' (a really good mandolin player and singer). We met him at a jam on our earlier trip.

Mike and the other players invited us to another jam Tuesday evening.

Yesterday was the jamboree at The Floyd Country Store.

Tomorrow we'll attend a gospel sing at church and head for a Chinese buffet. If we're able to walk after stuffing ourselves, we'll head back to The Store for another jam.

I hope to see the Shot Tower while in the area and I may run over to Mt. Airy for a hair cut at Floyd's Barbershop. How cool would that be?

We're havin' a ball, doing what the TM was built for.
Roll on!

We must all be getting the camping fever. We are waiting for it to warm up a bit more in Utah (Capital Reef and Bryce area to start). Figure a couple of weeks or so and we are off. Went down to see desert super bloom last year and hiked “The Wave” and Antelope Canyon in Arizona and spent time in southern Utah including visiting Zion again.

It never warmed up enough for us to go to Capital Reef before we were ready to head home. We loved the hikes there the one time we were there for about a week. The campground is small but so are the number of people you see on the hikes. There is quite a variety of scenery to hike and it is spectacular. Figure to be in Utah about a month this time with mostly open itinerary. Might even head over to needles area of Canyonlands to what was our favorite all time hike. It also may have been the longest hike we have done and I’m not getting any younger. Picture above is our campsite there.

Pictures of most of the hikes we have done can be viewed through the link in my signature. Looks like we will be in Utah the same time as Gwenne and Len maybe we will bump into each other. Always fun to see another TM in camp with you. Happy camping!!!
