I took off a few extra days also. I want to drive to Doe Hill. I never been there. I don't think there is much there but I still would like to see the town. A few years ago we went to Crabtree Falls. Where is Doe Hill? It is north-west of Waynesboro. Looks to be about forty-five minutes or less from Waynsboro. Last year we went to Crabtree Falls. Very pretty!

indyanna130 , the reunion is set for October 14-15 at the Kirkley Hotel in Lynchburg, Virginia. You can go ahead and make reservations and mention you're with the Waltons fan club so you'll get the special rate. Carolyn recently said she is working on a letter with more details which she hopes to mail out soon. Try to contact her on Facebook and let her know you're interested so she can send you a letter too. I really want to go to the reunion! I tried making reservations yesterday but the hotel is sold out but I did manage to get reservations near by at the Holiday Inn Express. I have followed your advice to friend Carolyn on FB but I haven't heard back from her yet. Do you happen to know the itinerary for the reunion? Save

Carolyn hasn't sent anything out yet. By the way the Rockfish Post Office will be open on October 15 if anyone wants to stop by. I was able to contact the owner and inform him about the reunion.

Hi all, I will use my 400th post to announce that I plan on attending the reunion. I will be flying solo as the children have school and it is an 8 hour or so drive from northern PA. We do a lot of traveling during our time in the USA and it is a lot of time for the kids in the car. Looking forward to meeting some of you. . .FINALLY!

The lady who sold her books (she has interviewed Earl Hamner, Jr. and his mother) at the museum last year will be there again this year. Her name is Lynn Coffey. She writes books about the vanishing southern mountain culture. The books are all stories about different people from the Virginia area and how they lived and the everyday things they did. Very interesting and a window into the past.

I did hear from Carolyn! I was able to get into the Kirkley after all since they had rooms blocked off for the reunion. It is going to be a wonderful trip for my friend and I. I just love girl trips but this one will certainly be special...I am sure it is the "first annual" reunion we attend! We are getting in Thursday so we don't miss a thing! Save

I reserved a double room for just me, if anyone knows of someone who could share with me and divide the cost of the room. That would be wonderful, as my funds are somewhat limited. Thanks.

Lots of historical sites, antique shops, restaurants, Walton related sightseeing, etc. Never enough time to do everything!
