I am here on the Virginia side, 8 to 10 minutes from the park, 2 things left out is this end of Virginia. There will be the new us 460 Corridor Q will go from the town of Grundy all the way to us 23 just before the town of Pikeville. That will be a section of 121 Coalfield Expressway. it will have 2 new bridges one built is the highest in Virginia and the next one will be the second highest in Virginia when finished. If you like I do have my amateur drone videos of the new road and construction going on here, check it if you do like that stuff. Just click my pic to get you there.
I live in Los angeles by the beach. i saw some pictures and videos of pikeville when I was 16 and I knew I had to have a place there. I'm now 20 and I should own a house there by the time I'm 21 I'm so excited
i just remember the hospital being all black like the building and what not and the nureses going out in the smoke area and seeing cigarette butts in the pine trees.
Thanks, Chandra! This was only our first Pikeville episode. We will be back this summer to do more outdoors activities! Do you have any suggestions on what we should do?
Thank you so much for watching! We definitely plan to get up to Morehead eventually. We typically work with the local tourism offices to work out all the details. If you know of anyone in Rowan County/Morehead that works in the Tourism office, you can send them to this page: exploringapp.com/where-to-next/ and that will get them into our system for consideration! Thanks again, and please subscribe if you haven't already!
I still find it amazing that this town moved a river and has thrived because of it. I live across the border in the richlands/claypool hill Virginia area a town that once rivaled it in size is now slowly like every other town in the region become a ghost town. I have to say they took the worst landscape and made it work the amount of dirt moved just for the highways around there is mind boggling and awe inspiring when you actually think about it
@@exploreappalachia5283 true tho I'm in a future ghost town I hope to never leave these mountains. Also it's not just the cut thru project for example the new hwy460 and hwy119 from pikevegas to Williamson are crazy and I can only imagine how long 119 took to complete. Gotta say the pyramids at Sydney ky and the new 460/23 interchange are pretty cool. Cross the border and check richlands/claypool hill out lol it's no pikeville but for the area were a decent sized community/ communities. Were one big town with a bunch of small towns making up the one big town we won't merge due to more taxes and theres enough law enforcement in this communist state to have more in our community by merging. Seriously on the Virginia side they are hidden everywhere looking for any reason to pull you over to see if they can rob you at gun point or kidnap you so they can take your stuff and enslave you and yes that's what cops do.... sadly. Sorry for the rant but both states are commonwealths but its lawless in Ky but totalitarian in va wtf
My family is from Pikeville! This is a wonderful video, I just got through sharing it with my cousins!

Absolutely. The scale of the project was crazy big and it's a great example of the hard work and determination that we see all over Appalachia.

Pike County's biggest claim to fame has always been that it is the only county in Kentucky which is due north of Havana Cuba.
