Around ten years ago, I was reading a topo map and decided it would be a good idea to run the length of Route 32 from Morehead (locally known as Christy Creek) to its terminus in Louisa. The unusual hook and touring through a somewhat isolated section of the Little Sandy River Valley had caught my attention.<\/p>\n
Louisa itself also had an attraction for me. There lies the head of The Big Sandy River, created from the combined waters of Tug Fork and Levisa Fork – both having their roots deep in the storied peaks of Appalachia coal country. Sighting river features is just an old silly hobby of mine.<\/p>\n
So, given a free afternoon, that random idea popped up and off we went. Well evening really. Got a very late start and didn’t even hit the green flag till ~17:00.<\/p>\n
End result? Road ran, rivers found, pictures taken, train dodged, and even made a new canine friend in the next state. Not a bad Independence Day ride I’d say. Until next time!<\/p>\n
