    Great link, Zen!!

    A terrific non-biking side trip, Cyclesome, if you have time and inclination, is a walk on the AT on the summit of Whitetop. The views are spectacular. (See pic below w/small dog in middle.) The Virginia Creeper Trail might offer similar breath-taking views; I bet CA_in_NC would know.

    Hiking to the top of Mount Rogers (right next door, elevation 5729') is a great outing, too. Encountering the wild ponies on the trail is a treat---'though my dog Samantha has mixed feelings about 'em!

    I was looking at that site myself.
    If I had someone to drive me down there I'd like to go west to east in one day, stay at the Iron horse Campground* then go back.

    I tend to get sleepy driving that far, though


    *their site says they 'provide full hook-ups'

    I sent the site to a friend down in Richmond, suggesting we do it together - but if I'm driving down there - I could take you. Except she's one of those friends who's always painting or renovating her house instead of doing fun things with me, which makes it a very hypothetical trip.

    I'm not sure if we'd cycle & camp partway to do some hiking, or straight in one day.

    Does your bike require full hook ups?

    I was thinking of , uh..., another type of hook up entirely

    True, but they don't mention the quality of those types of hookups... They're full ones, but discerning customers might want some assurance as to the abilities and size of the facilities.
