Road Trip #360 - Virginia SR-8 - Blue Ridge Parkway to US Highway 58 (Wo...

In July 2018, we took a trip along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and we'll
eventually be publishing that video--as soon as we have the entire
parkway from end to end...this will require one more trip to accomplish.
At the end of day 1 of our trip, we decided to divert to
Winston-Salem, NC for the night. This was a big mistake, as we didn't
realize that it would be almost a 3 hour drive from the Parkway. During
this trip, we drove Virginia State Route 8, which later becomes North
Carolina State Route 8. This interesting little highway twists and
turns through the mountains and has some steep grades, and some of the
best scenery we saw on this trip. Here it is! The weather was nice
throughout most of this video with a short rain shower near the middle.
Note the vintage Motel right off the Parkway, and abandoned buildings
after we pass through the town of Woolwine.
