Bristol TN or is that VA




There is a street in Bristol that is in TN on one side and VA on the other a little strange, just like when we were in KY at Mammoth Caves our phones were confused with the time we were on the line of the Eastern and Central Time zone.  We showed up for our cave tour an hour early (like we wanted to do that).

We have been in Bristol for 3 days the Nascar race track is 1/2 mile away, tomorrow we head 65 miles north into Mtn. Rogers National Recreation Area to stay at Stony Fork Campground for a week, we will be off the grid, meaning no internet or tv, they have some electric sites, good thing it's been cold at night, we have an electric heater which is better than burning our propane.  It looks like a beautiful place with lots of hiking 

November 6, we spent the afternoon on the Virginia Creeper Trail which is a bike path 36 miles long.  We only had time to ride 9 miles and then back 9 miles to our jeep.  They do have bike company's that shuttle you along the trail with or without renting their bikes.  We got a late start due to over night thunderstorms.  It was a beautiful ride we went over 11 trestle bridges on our trip.  All of the pictures below were taken on the trail.
