I got back yesterday afternoon.
Here is a recap of the trip.
I left Winchester VA Thursday morning and made my way to Salem VA.
Here is the route.

The 678 / 675 is a great alternate to the Skyline and theirs a wonderful pull off on the 675
Theres a great Bar BQ joint on the 151.
Now this place is quite the dive but the girls were good looking and the food was fantastic.
Blue Ridge Pig.
The 56 is one of my favorite roads and worth checking out if ever in the area.
I took it to Vesuvius and back to the BRP.
I then took the BRP all the way to Roanoke and then to Salem.
The BRP was full of color with little traffic.
Salem is a great place to spend the night with an abundance of rooms and food.
Friday I woke up and planned this route for the day.

The 311 is a wonderful ride and theres a great pull off all though hidden.
Point Bank is a great rest stop for food / drink and free wifi.
The 18 is a great twisty road and then I took the 220 with a stop at the waterfall.
Its a simple way up to Petersburg WV but a wonderful ride up.
I like Petersburg as theirs a great little mom / pop that I stay at and a great place for food / drink.
Saturday I woke up and this was the planned route for the day.

Once i reached the interstate I would just blaze home from there.
The 220 is a lovely ride up north of Pertersburg.
The 51 / 9 are both very challenging with some wonderful pull offs for picture taking.
They are a wide mix off tight twisty / sweeping curve / farmland country.
By the time I reached the interstate the sun hid behind some clouds so I found it best to just blaze back to Wilmington.
This was a great trip and I cant wait to go back to this area.
Here are a bunch of random pics that i missed posting while on the road.
Enjoy.
