My older Wingfoot guide has a number for the Holy Family Church Hostel that doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone had their current number or whether you knew if they are open in mid-march.

I'm leading an alternative spring break volunteering group of 10 college students in a town near Bland, VA and need a place to stay on saturday march 19th, that is either free, on a donation basis or very cheap since we have a very limited budget. I was wondering if anyone knew of a church, hostel or place that could house a group like this for a night somewhere in virginia, preferably near I-81. Thanks for any help.

The only number I have for the hostel is 540-921-4673. I believe this is a current number.

If that doesn't work, the main number for the Church, and other contact/address info for maildrops, etc., is:

Holy Family Roman Catholic Church
516 Mason Court Drive
Pearisburg, VA. 24134

(540) 921-3547

A-Train: If this doesn't work, call Joe Mitchell at 4 Pines Hostel in Catawba at 540-384-5090. I know his property is up for sale, and I have no idea what his hostel plans are for this year, but if he's open in any capacity, I'm sure he'd be happy to help you out, he's a fine man.

I used Bill and his dog (the boston terrier) for 3 shuttles while doing that area of the trail, he is THE MAN behind the hostel and has successfully (well i hope still) fended off the latest leader of the church there who is not hiker friendly...call him for hostel or shuttle info
