My brother and I used to go to Bath County Va. We would go 7 miles past the last house on the road to the end of the road and over a mile past that on a railroad. We would camp for a week to spring turkey hunt. The nearest house was 5 miles down the railroad and 7 miles up the railroad. You could have walked 4.5 mile over a mountain to a house. Most people wouldn’t believe a place like that even existed in Virginia. Where we camped is now so crowed up it’s hard to get up there. There is now a locked gate and a beaver pond blocking the road. There would usually be 2 trains come through a week an Amtrak and maybe a short work train. There was so many turkeys that unless one was on a ridge close to the tracks we didn’t even bother to hunt him. I thought that would last forever but the turkeys slowly disappeared and we continued to hunt there for twenty years. That was the most enjoyable and relaxing camping of my life.
