Spring Fling 2026 - Day 13: Lot docking in Virginia

We crossed into Virginia from Kentucky today, only drove 274 miles, about halfway to a COE at Philpott Lake.  From there, after 3 nights at the COE, we'll be staying with friends near Marshall, VA.

This is a one night stay (basically breaking up 500+ mile drive).

We're lot docking at a Harvest Host location, the 3 sites have electriciry and water.  We're the only rig here this Monday night.

We sampled their craft Bourbon, pretty good stuff.  One is supposed to patronize a Harvest Host's wares so we had some samples and a cocktail.  We also procured a bottle of their Smoothbore Bourbon.

The name of the place is Axe Handle Distilling in Pennington Gap, VA.


Being a former artillery guy, I'll admit the picture of a cannon was a factor in my choosing the bourbon above.

It's been years since we've stayed at a Harvest Host, this one was a nice one.
