An easy October picnic ride through the Virginia countryside to Natural Tunnel State Park. We'll check out the tunnel and surrounding grounds then ride up the road a bit to a picnic area for lunch. Did we mention ***bring your own lunch***? Just before the picnic area is a gas station with food items available. Also, there is a small cafe' close to the park for those if that would be your preference.
We'll meet at the FasMart Valero Station 6886 Gate City Hwy, Bristol, VA. North side of I-81 not far from Bristol Casino.
Meet at 10:00AM, KSU 10:15AM
More than 850 feet long and 10 stories high, Natural Tunnel was naturally carved through a limestone ridge over thousands of years. William Jennings Bryan called it the "Eighth Wonder of the World." Other scenic features include a wide chasm between steep stone walls surrounded by several pinnacles, or "chimneys."
