Had a recent work run that took me to Roanoke, Marion, and Abingdon Virginia. It was a good chunk of driving to a part of the state I hadn’t yet visited. I took the non-highway route to Roanoke, because it’s pretty.
Good breakfast and a clean mid-2000’s 4Runner.
Abingdon has a special charm, and a revolutionary-war-era Tavern that now holds a great steak house.
There isn’t a way back from Abingdon that isn’t on Interstate 81, but there were still some sights.
