The white County Road maps are accurate with the exception of the road up the Greenbrier River from Durbin that Crew A will travel. The map shows it not going through, but it does. I have re-marked it correctly. I have shown portions of the AC route in red on this map too. You also have a copy of the topo map the runners are carrying.

CR is a County Road, FS is a Forest Service road.

There is no cell phone coverage beyond Mill Creek and Elkins. There is a clinic and EMS in Durbin and Mill Creek.

From Start Crew A & B go back to Rt. 250 in Mill Creek. .

Turn left on FS 92, go 6 miles to Crouch Run (at 5.5 miles you will cross the course where we will come up on left, cross FS 92 and pick up Whit Meadow Trail on your right). Turn right down Crouch Run, go about 3.2 miles. When you are almost to Shavers Fork there will be a rough road on your left, FS 49A I believe, maybe gated. This is Aid #1. We will be coming up from Shavers Trail. Runners have come 10.3 miles and it is 13.7 to Aid #2.

Just past the hatchery see two houses on the left. The first is Dennis Waggy, next is Carson Waggy. Runners will come out the Carson Waggy driveway. (Carson is deceased, Dennis is son. We have permission from Dennis to come through) A short distance past Waggy there is shady place along the road to set up Aid.

Go back the way you came, but at 1.4 miles but continue straight down hollow 2 miles to Rt 220 S, turn right. In Franklin turn left on Rt. 33 E at the Shell station, good burgers here at Mean Gene’s.

If you go to the camp first then to the finish find your way with the map.

Then 1 mile turn right, then another 1.8 miles keeping right at forks. Young Camp is the next place on the left. We will have to hang a sign or marker.

This is going to be an easy day for you, relax and have a second cup of coffee. We will need a short ride to the start. If I can locate a drivable route to the Hall Spring Road to set Aid 4/1 we will have one there, otherwise there will be only one aid station at 4/2 below.

Crew A To Aid 4/1 Tentative

Take Rt. 33 E over Shenandoah Mt into VA. Look for road on left at the base of the mountain. It might be called Long Run Road. This should climb up the east side of Shenanndoah Mt and intersect the Rough Run road runners will be climbing from the west side. Watch for a silver tractor trailer and set up around there.

Take Rt. 33 E and just before the top of Shenandoah Mt pull into parking lot overlook on the right. Set up Aid.
