Good question. I have not heard. Let's hope it was not too bad. The Creeper Trail was devastated.

Here's what's posted on the park web site: The trail from Cliffview office (mile marker 49) in Galax to 0.5 miles north of Dannelly Park (mile marker 46) will be closed for trail work starting Thursday, Oct. 31 through Friday, Nov. 8. The park trail is now open from Galax to Fries Junction; Fries access to Low Water Bridge (trail only); Ivanhoe to Austinville; Shot Tower to Big Reed Island trestle; Allisonia to Dora Junction (Pulaski access). Dannelly Park and Cliffview campground are also open. Foster Falls upper and lower boat ramps are now open and the Foster Falls picnic area. Roughly 25 miles of New River Trail State Park have reopened to the public after Hurricane Helene caused significant damage to the trail. Visitors can now enjoy hiking, biking and horseback riding along the following sections: - Roughly 9 miles from the Galax park entrance to the Gambetta park entrance. This portion of the trail includes Chestnut Creek Falls. - Roughly 3 miles from mile marker 33 through mile marker 29. This portion of the trail includes the Ivanhoe park entrance, Ivanhoe River Bridge, and Austinville park entrance. - Roughly 12 miles from the Shot Tower park entrance to mile marker 13. This portion of the trail includes Foster Falls. - Roughly 8 miles from mile marker 10 to the Dora Junction park entrance. This portion of the trail includes the Dalton Bridge, Sloan Creek Trestle, Draper park entrance, McAdams Trestle and Peak Creek Trestle.

Thanks. Sound plan.

Thank you! Wheels Yield to Heels.

@@woodycarr I love that saying!! Never heard that!!💗🤠💗

Thank you! The Millrace Campground where I stayed is primitive with no vehicular access to the campsites and no showers or bathhouses. However, there were no bear boxes for storing food so I suspect bears in the campground are not typically a problem. That said, I always use a LOKSAK OPSAK odor-proof bag to help critter-proof my food against raccoons, squirrels, and mice. I did hang my food bag on of the poles in the site but it was not a typical "bear bag hang" from a tall tree like I would use in a more wilderness areas. Hope that helps.

Thanks! I do regret not going to Galax. Next time for sure!

The trail is a hard crushed cinder surface but not paved.

Thanks! I love the Virginia Creeper Trail! I'm sure you will enjoy the New River Trail State Park. It's worth the time to visit.

i do like your gear!!, but why did you not go to galax? just asking? dat tent looked like it was fairly thin,and leads me to believe it would leak a little.

Thank you for your comments.

I used to think like that until I watched the tour divide this year, it was won on a 120mm, that's only 10mm shorter than his. I think the winner was riding a Top Fuel, that got me rethinking. Mostly everyone else was on a gravel bike​@@princepage632

Thank you! I'm glad you found it useful!

Yes indeed, @TheBane1979. The Millrace campground at Foster Falls has 6 X 6 poles with eyebolts for hammocks - three each on the campsite.

@@woodycarr awesome! I’m heading that way this weekend and hammock camping is my preferred set up. I also have the durston x-mid for when I can’t find trees

@@TheBane1979 Enjoy your trip!

ah, I asked too soon. You have two action cameras right?

@@TheBane1979 Yes, one on a neck mount and one on the handlebar.

Wonderful! Such a great area! Thanks for commenting!

Thank you, joyfultrails! I’m glad you liked the video! It’s a great trail. Worth the trip for sure. Hope you get to enjoy it soon!

Thanks, John!

Thank you!

Thanks @mkenyon7429. Overnight parking at the various entry points requires a fee or state park pass. I used my annual pass at the Draper entrance. I just hung it on my rearview mirror. If you park at the Millrace campground they give you a parking pass as part of the camping fee. Hope that helps.

Thanks @Tennessee-Explorer! Have a great trip next month. It really is a special trail. I just got started with Tenkara. Still a lot to learn!

@@woodycarr We look forward to that trip for sure. We bikepacked the VA Creeper Trail recently, which is wonderful as well. Those videos are up now. As far as Tenkara, I recommend carrying a spare tip section. You will get hung up and break it eventually. I try to only cast places where I can walk to my line if needed to pull on it directly instead of using the rod. But that certainly limits where you fish. I love the simplicity of it. I also carry a 6’ telescoping rod with a spinning reel to use other places where Tenkara won’t work well.

@@Tennessee-Explorer Great advice, thanks! My family and I rode the Virginia Creeper Trail several years ago. Might need to go back and do it as a bikepacking trip. It was very beautiful!

Thanks so much for the comment and subscription! I appreciate the kind words. It's definitely a hike worth taking!

That's really cool, GreenScienceBoy! That witch prop has been unused and properly stored in my garage for several years. I would love to find a new home for her. But I'm not sure how I would get her to you. Seems like you're pretty far away and shipping a prop that size would be expensive.

@@woodycarr Wow I am very happy to hear she is still kicking around all these years later, Is there a way I can contact you privately? I would love to discuss this further? -Rory

@@GreenScienceBoy Hey Rory. Send me an email at scarefx at gmail dot com - Woody

Thank you, Bryan! I really appreciate you watching!

My trip was in late October. You will probably not see lows below 55 degrees at the highest elevations in August. Enjoy your trip!

Thanks! It is a pretty view.

Thanks! It's a little weird to let it do its own thing and just trust the tracking and obstacle avoidance. But it works amazingly well.

@@woodycarr no problem!

Thanks, Nick & Rachel! I appreciate you checking out my video. Loved your Shenandoah National Park adventures!

@@woodycarr no problem! Sweet glad you're enjoying them!

Thank you for the subscription, RVA Hiker Girl! I've been subscribed to your channel for a few months now. I've been enjoying your SNP section hikes. I've also learned about a few places I want to visit from your videos like Belle Isle State Park and Explore Park. Great content! Btw, I live in Midlothian so I guess I'm a RVA Hiker Dude. :-)

@@woodycarr Oh that's cool! So happy to hear that you are enjoying my videos and they are giving you some ideas of places to go and check out. I always wanted my channel to be a resource for people for info and research. You ARE an RVA Hiker dude! Ha Ha! ~RVA~

@@RVAHikerGirl I just posted my hike up Old Rag in SNP on my channel. Check it out if you're so inclined. Happy hiking!

Thanks! He's using this technique which can be quite efficient for uphill travel. ua-cam.com/video/ieEWa4pJcvc/v-deo.html

Thank you!

Thanks 😆

Thanks! Finally have a trip coming up next month! Video to come.

The obvious place to resupply would have been Big Meadows. I was under the impression at that time that the wayside was going to be closed for renovations. As it turned out, it closed a couple of weeks after my trip and reopened the following season. If I were doing it again, I would resupply at Big Meadows. Do keep in mind the cost will be higher and the selection will be a bit more limited in the park. Thanks for watching the video!

@@woodycarr Thank you for sharing your experience and insight!

Thanks, Scott! Glad you enjoyed it. Have a GREAT hike. It's a beautiful park.

Thanks! That clip was shot with an Insta360 One X.

@@woodycarr thank you. The invisible stick explains it! Going to save up for one :)

Ikson creates some nice music. I'm grateful he allows us to use it in our videos.

Thank you! So glad you like it!

The only one I've found so far is this 3-D printed version www.dirtyjdesigns.com/products/handlebar-mount-for-skydio-2-beacon

Thanks, John! The Doyles River/Jones Run is really great. Worth the visit!

It will be worth the wait. The tracking capabilities and obstacle avoidance are unmatched. However in my mind, it really is a very specialized second drone. Your EVO is a perfect complement. The EVO will perform much better at father distances. The WIFI transmission on the Skydio 2 breaks up fairly quickly. It's really a drone for tracking or getting really tight shots close to your position. For that, it's great. You will be amazed at what you will fly it through... with confidence.

@@woodycarr Yes - I get god range and precision control with the EVO. But, I am hoping to get into and maneuver thru tight areas with S2, The tracking is a secondary consideration for me, but hay... mebbe I'll give it a try and be able to use it.

Thank you! The spring at 11:42 is at mile 947.3 NB (a couple of miles north of Pass Mountain Hut.) There are a lot of springs in the park. The Guthooks app is a good resource for finding springs along the Appalachian Trail.

@@woodycarr wow thank you so much i wish you the best on your future journeys i hope everything your looking for comes your way :)

October 19th thru 26th, 2018. The Fall color was better for the last three days of my hike. Stealth spots were not too hard to find. I used the Guthooks app to help find spots. Worth the $9 for the section IMHO. Have fun on your trip!

@@woodycarr Yes, I have Guthooks and it's a lifesaver ! Thanks so much for the info.

Thanks for the sub. Looking forward to watching your videos!

Thank you! Enjoy your trip!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

I appreciate it, Ben. Subscribed to your channel. Cheers!

You'll have a great time, David! I found this guide good for planning my trip. www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/upload/SHEN_BCTrip-AT_through_SNP_average_17_miles_per_day_E104-508.pdf I recommend getting the Guthook Guide app as well. It was useful for planning and was great to have on the trail. That app does not require a cell phone connection to work which is great because coverage is very spotty in the park. You can purchase the section you need for about $9. Just download the maps before you go. atlasguides.com/appalachian-trail/ Hope that helps a little.

@@woodycarr thanks man , sorry I got back much later , cant wait till this fall , so how have things been going for ya , hope all is well

@@davidsawmandave8731 No worries! Looking forward to getting back out too. Hope you have a great trip!
