It’s not a particularly long trip from the southeast side of Lynchburg. US 460 cuts right past Liberty University just like it cuts right through Virginia Tech’s. There are some stretches of Interstate on the trip, yes, but except for the overlapping stretch of I-81 past Roanoke, you can tootle on down to Lynchburg or putt-putt back up the mountain all on old 460. Liberty even watches the same TV that we watch. Which means they are going to see this on the local sports news.
