Floyd VA, is a one-caution-light town filled with antique stores, great live music and close proximity to the Fair, at 6.1 miles. Thinking of ambling down The Blue Ridge Parkway for a part of the trip, stop in and say hello to Junior (our own Phillip Pearce) and possibly Senior! then onto Floyd. Will motel or camp depending on my mood. Richard (2manyprojects) is going and setting up to sell at the Swap Meet there as well.

The yard in Blacksburg has big trucks parts so I will need someone that can recognize that stuff. And it would be a long drive. Will need some stops and company along the way. How much interest can we get? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 45 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 45 | I think I'm going to wait and possibly set up a swap booth at the aaca show closer to home later in June so I can have time to explore Floyd. I'm open to stopping anywhere along the way. If anyone wants to detour through Richmond to dig through my parts pile just let me know.

Didn't find much of anything I had to have but I'm a 6 cylinder 235-261 guy and our stuff is harder to pick. Great 'country type' people, knowledgeable, in fact when I took a break from the sun by sitting in my cab at the truck/car venue I have never had as many people walk up and talk the talk, read: know as much as I do about the AD trucks, that was really cool. I drove 50 miles of the Blue Ridge Parkway going down and the ride back. I had a frozen smile for every mile of that trip, absolutely beautiful and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Floyd, VA, itself, is a magical place with the Floyd General Store and live street music, banjo pickin' style. The Crooked Road is nearby and is an experience in itself. Will I do it again ? Yep! I believe they have a Fall version of the same show/swap.

As long as I can get a few more test drives and slowly adding distance as I gain confidence, I would love to join your convoy. That is a trip that I would love to do sometime! Especially when the leaves start to change!
