We are taking a crew of around 10 to Virginia. We live in Ohio, so transportation is an issue. Where are some main trailheads In the Virginia area?

Hard to answer -- there are a LOT of good trailheads in Virginia. Easy access to the trail at Daleville, VA (I-81 and US 220), at Rockfish Gap (I-64 where it crosses at Shenandoah NP). Reasonable access near Damascus, VA -- we see a lot of Ohioans in the Mt Rogers area, it's straight down I-77 to I-81 south. The Trail pretty much follows I-81 up the valley, so there is easy access at a lot of places.
There are lots of options since a quarter of the trail runs through Virginia. I'm a scout leader in VA, PM me with your needs and I can make a few suggestions.
