with 677, past Merriwether Lewis Elementary on your right, up and down a
few rollers, then down to the intersection with 250 (Use Caution!) Take
a left on 250, pass under the railroad bridge and take a right on 637 (in
downtown Ivy), go a short block and take a left to continue on 637. Cross
a small bridge and go up hill. Continue on the main road (637) down the
other side (twisty), cross another bridge and continue on 637. Stay on 637
through the interchange with 64. Continue on 637 towards the Ivy landfill
(that’s where all those big trucks are going) to a 4 way intersection.

becomes 4 lanes with a very wide shoulder. Climb up the hill past the trailer
park and take the second left onto Old Lynchburg Rd ( 780 ). If you pass
the new bank headquarters, you’ve gone too far. (Check out this map
