 River Wall2415 viewsNo, I didn't mean to say river walk. That really is a wall built in the edge of the river.

i would guess, due to it being located in the curve of the river, it prevents the railroad from being washed out.

Too much rain in the mountains makes great waterfalls but, is devastating to railroads that run along the banks of the river.

 Green Cove Station then.2406 viewsTake notice the horse is pulling a sled. Little horse drawn carts did not work well on the mountain slopes.

I saw the Creeper a couple of times after moving to this area in 1976.

 Beginning and End2405 viewsCumberland, MD where the Great Allegheny Passage begins and the C&O Tow Path ends.

A truly neat city, especially downtown.

Anywhere I can sit outside, eat good "Q", wash it down with a beer and get BJ stitched up from her latest bike accident, is a good lace to be in the Summertime.

 The Trail2366 viewsThe surface of Guest River gorge Railtrail is the best we have seen, bar none.

If you live in Tri-Cities area of Tennessee or SW Virginia and want to ride long distances I would suggest I-81.

If you want a short bike ride with breath taking scenery drive up to Coeburn, Va.
