Dogwood Rally at Breaks Interstate Park - Summary

 What views!  I cannot imagine what it will look like during the fall foliage!

We all arrived on the 7th, got set up and had our social to discuss the rest of our time there.  We also all had stories of the travels there!  Each of the recommended routes had some twists and turns not conducive to larger units – however, we did find a route out so new it’s not even on GPS mapping – that future visitors can take without concern.  Shown below.

 

The park has many walking trails, biking on pavements if you have E bikes, or strong legs – a pool, pond for fishing, and paddle boats, and a zip line.  Several small towns within an hour hosted many mountain stories, including the Hatfields and McCoys, and Loretta Lynn. A blues museum was in yet another town. They offer Elk tours during the fall season as well.  The sites are sufficient – again, just a few for units larger than 34 ft; all wooded with good views and leg room.  There are cabins and a lodge with a restaurant on site.

Richard & Denise Davis


All days were free for roaming and each evening we met for dinner.  We dodged raindrops, sometimes a deluge but the real highlight was Richard & Denise Davis playing for us for 2 nights while there. 

 



We thank all who ventured that far out in the hills – and for those who want to go in the future – you will want to go 460W to Vansants – take about 3 miles on 83, to the new 460 – also called Southern Gap highway – to 80 into the park – I’m told soon the bridge will be open and it will be a 4 lane divided highway the entire route to 80.

Lynn and Wayne, Thanks so much for planning and coordinating things so well.
Wanted to mention an excursion we took to Clintwood VA. There we visited the Dr Ralph Stanley Museum. Jack and Mary went through the museum with us.
