Beautiful piece. Captures a bit of the marvel of our area. My dad's family was from Norton, and I've been through Big Stone a lot. Some of our Scotts are buried at Powell Valley Cemetery. I like the description that the overlook "borders on a religious experience." My favorite form of prayer. Thanks for sharing this.
I live about 35 minutes from Big Stone Gap in St. Paul. Lotta people that move here from a further away state don't realize that just about everywhere you step here, there's important history. You can go up the Sugar Hill trail in St. Paul and find the remains of the French cottage that Daniel Boone used to visit on his trips to Washington D.C. If memory serves, the cottage was destroyed and the the French family was killed by Native Americans. I think it was a property agreement that was broken. I need to do some research on that.
I found this channel from a sign at rest stop on 81 at the Virginia Welcome Center in Bristol advertising the Crocked Road. A friend and I want to plan a trip to see sights along that route. So I'm watching videos. I would recommend the channel owner add a link to info about the play. It would help to know where and when as we plan our trip. Thanks for a great video and a great suggestion.
Jack, I don't know if you remember Helen McClanahan Witt. She was my mother. My Grandfather was Dewey McClanahan. Great to see you on you tube..Wonderful area.
Try Large hollow rd just off Rt 19 and rich valley rd. Visit the old swinging bridge at the end of large hollow rd. W use to jump off it whwn I was a kid back in the 1950's

many Mcclanahans here in the Shenandoah Valley as well.
So want to visit! How far is Floyd VA from where you are?
It's a little over 3 hours from Floyd to BSG.
just think, if this was W. Virginia those hills and mountains would have been buzzed down.
Does anyone know if bristol/abingdon area is this pretty??
As long as you're off the main roads the scenery is beautiful.

All of SWVA is beautiful, check out Natural Tunnel State Park, High Knob in Wise County, and the Falls of Little Stony
