Gay & Dusty: The Spirit of ’76 Lives On

Cross Country by Bike – Lookout, Kentucky – Rosedale, Virginia – Wytheville, Virginia – Christiansburg, Virginia
Coal and logging trucks have been our constant companions on the Appalachian back roads of Kentucky and continue in Virginia.

Several times along our route we intersect with the Appalachian Hiking Trail and promise ourselves that we will one day try a portion of it.
