Virginia Creeper Trail

We had a really nice and productive visit to Abingdon. On Tuesday, my parents, Brent, and myself went for a bike ride on the Virginia Creeper Trail. It is a trail that was once the track for a train called the Virginia Creeper. It was decommissioned in 1977. The Forestry Dept took over and turned it into a hiking and biking trail. We started at Whitetop Station and biked down to Damascus...17 miles! Luckily, it was downhill most of the way! Brent got a flat halfway through, but as luck would have it we ran into some of the senior citizens from the church I grew up in, Abingdon Baptist. It was a nice chance to see familiar faces. It was a fun ride. So, enjoy the pictures!
