    Man I have spent many days hiking and fishing there. Good thing they cut the Mountain Valley Pipeline directly though it and are boring under sinking creek! I’m so glad they are doing what they can to protect this beautiful area!

    Sure does look like some nice roads to cruise on. At first there were nice fall leaves on the trees but then the west end looks like most of the leaves were gone.

    What a beautiful drive for this season. Fall is my favorite time of the year. The leaf colors are so vibrant. I can see why people would drive this road to make memories. I enjoyed hearing the history as well. Amazing the secrets our little towns have. Thanks for sharing the secrets and hidden jewels of this town and many others that you have traveled to. Keep them coming!

    Since we here in East central Wisconsin went almost immediately from late summer to nearly winter this year (accumulating snow fell earlier this week, The autumn scenery was much more than welcomed! I noticed in this video just how strong and seamless your narration during the footage has become. This one flowed so smoothly that I could process the facts you presented as well as the scenery with no hesitation or interruptions in my "train of viewing". Loved the "As we talk..." teaser near the beginning!

    • @MountainRoots
      @MountainRoots  Před 7 měsíci

      It's incredible here as well how full and colorful the mountains were, but seemingly overnight with strong winds and considerably lower temperatures things have started to take on their winter appearance. I often forget just how heavy winters must be up north where you are, so things here must appear pretty mild to you.
      Thanks as always for watching and providing your insightful feedback- especially as someone who has followed the evolution of the work I'm doing. Cheers Greg!

    • @MountainRoots
      @MountainRoots  Před 7 měsíci +1

      Depending where you're coming from, you'd likely get on 460 east almost all the way to Blacksburg VA, but you'll turn NE onto the road itself, Rt 42/Cumberland Gap Rd at Newport VA.
      Or a slightly different route might be taking 460 to I-81N, all the way to Christiansburg/Blacksburg area where you'll get back onto 460 and again turning on to Route 42 at Newport VA. Those are likely the easiest routes to find it.
