Parking VA 635

[Grunt]

Looking to do a section hike from near Bland, VA to approx. 19 miles past Pearsburg, VA... There is a parking area on VA 635 and I was wondering about safety issues leaving a vehicle there for five or six days???? Looking on Google Map there are a few homes nearby and was wondering if anyone has any advice about just asking those individuals if I could leave my vehicle on their property... would compensate.

parking in the area in and around pearisburg is relatively safe..options would be the captains(close to where the AT crosses 635)or i shuttle you out to 635 and you hike back into town. if there's anything i could help you with, feel free to call anytime---don, 540-921-7433(RIDE)

Yes check with the Captain - great friend of hikers

I parked there for a 2 day, 40 mile section a few weeks ago. No problems at the northernmost lot.

I used Don for the shuttle from Pearisburg to VA42 behind my car.

Thanks for the post Don... I will probably contact you soon about a shuttle from VA 635 to US 52 / I-77 for two people. My only concern is leaving my truch at the AT parking area on VA 635 for five or six days.... who is the "captain in these post? talk with you soon, john+
