Introduction
The popular tourism slogan "Virginia Is for Lovers" has so many meanings to me. It certainly has meant love in the traditional sense: I fell deeply in love and got married in the Old Dominion. But the slogan also means a love of everything the state has to offer. There's a lot to love: the history, the southern charm of the people and places, the mountains, the water, the big cities, the small towns, and the many country roads.
I was born and raised in Virginia and have lived in the state for all but six years of my life, when I was in the U.S. Army. My army time gave me a wanderlust that led to a career of travel. I'm a travel writer and photographer by trade and roam the world in search of a good story. But there's nothing better than roaming my own state on a country road.
Preparing this book renewed my immense love for everything this state has to offer. My companion for every mile and word was my soul mate and wife, Cele. When I refer to "we" in the text, you can assume it is the two of us. We've driven more than 4,000 miles in search of perfect country roads.
I've chosen a variety of routes that reflect the variety of experiences the state has to offer. In this book, you'll find a country road that will allow you to pursue almost any special love you have.
The interstate system helps you to get to Virginia's country roads quickly. That means you'll have more time to follow my recommendations and make many of your own discoveries as well. Allow yourself time to linger by planning to stay a night or more.
