Vinton County Tunnels Tour Part 1

Several trees are down. All were passable by going off road and around them, except for the one. It’s large and lays across the road on a hill side. So no way to avoid it. The rest of the trail had a lot of tree branch debris downed from the remnants of hurricane Helene that came through a day ago. I never did see the tunnel that someone else posted a photo of on here. I took the road around to the other side of the downed tree and entered from that direction. Still no tunnel. The picture of the map shows where I was and the direction I was heading when I encountered the downed tree.

The trail was open hot and dusty the leaves are already changing it was a beautiful drive

The road is closed just after the State Route 328 intersection from what looked like a bridge replacement, which forced us to turn around and abandon the remaining loop. Unknown, to me when it may be re-opened.
