If we go, we're likely going to bicycle on the Virginia Creeper trail on Friday and Saturday mornings and show up in Bristol about 4 pm for the evening's sets.
I really like both Bristol and Abingdon. Very nice towns with quite a bit going on considering their size. The Smithsonian-affiliated music museum in Bristol is great, as is the Benjamin Walls photo gallery and the Barter Theater in Abingdon is also very enjoyable. Also, Damascus, VA and the nearby Grayson Highlands State Park (and Mt. Rogers) are awesome. A great part of the country.
