Hillsville, VA isn't any good... <insert evil grin here> Been coming up here since the late 80's. Hate it every time... <same grin> I would like to discourage anyone from coming here... Nothing like a good old "...magazine articles about it..." to totally distroy a nice area.

There is talk about changing the "no zoning regulations" around here. I think it was because not too far from me, someone put in an ATV / motocross track... you can kiss your piece and quite good bye for ever.

We really like that area, and I don't own an ATV . We stop at Fancy Gap a lot when we pass thru that area. Carroll and Grayson co's are the area's I want to check in July, I'll be down in NC near mt airy at a boy scout camp. Always wondered how winters were there on the mountains.
I just need someone who really hates it there to give me a good deal on some acreage, you know, a nice view, a nice creek, a nice place to hunt, something awful like that.
