Richlands info for Buckingham fans

At the speed limit, we're about 2.5 hours from Exit 150/Cloverdale.

Take I-81 South to Wytheville. At the top of a long hill, you'll exit right 
onto I-77 North (2 exit lanes) to near Bluefield.
(Watch for REALLY slow trucks in the right lane going up the hills.)
Get in the right lane in/by the 2nd tunnel - the exit starts just a couple of
seconds after you leave the tunnel - it's a stiff, uphill ramp.  25 MEANS 25 here.

At top of ramp, turn right onto US 52 for a couple of miles. Watch for the West 460 
sign to Tazewell and/or Bluefield.  (DO NOT take first right exit to Princeton.)
You'll fly-over 460 as the lanes merge into an off-ramp - a right-handed, 
270 degree, 5 story drop onto 460/19, which then climbs back 5 stories 
and continues to just past the stoplight.
Stay on 460 about 20 minutes to Claypool Hill, where the speed limit drops to 45. 
You've got about a mile to get into right lane.  

At the traffic light at the top of the hill, the left lane is US 19 and goes straight, 
while the right lane is for 460 and EXITS right to Richlands as a "ramp" -
no light here, so be careful, there's a plaza just around the corner on the right.

Go down the hill 2.2 miles; you'll exit right just past the bridge.
Turn (yield) right onto Bus. 460 at the bottom of the ramp.
You'll circle under 460 and come to a stop light (when you leave, you'll turn
left here to get on 460).  RHS/Ernie Hicks Stadium access is on up a piece...
you'll turn right onto Jones Chapel Road at the blue school sign.
About 100 yards up, you'll veer left PAST the school and start around the field.
Visitors parking is on the right, behind the bleachers; gate is at the far goal line.

Back on 460/19, there's a Wendys on the left and a mini-McD's on the right.

At the first light going downhill, turn left up to the Mall for Italian Village, 
   which is inside the mall on the upper end.
On down 460 on the right is a Pizza Plus.

On Bus. 460 across from the stadium is Long Johns/A&W & a mini-Taco Bell on the left, 
a Pizza Hut on the right, and a good local sit-down place called V&V on the left.


            On 460 bypass past the stadium

Next exit, 1.6 miles away has a Hardees.  Turn left at the bottom of the ramp.  
Go about 1/2 mile. At the light, turn right onto Bus. 460 (2 lanes, 1 way).
Hardees is ahead on the left.

Or go 2.9 miles & turn left at the light onto Bus. 460 for McDs, Burger King,
Wendys, King Kone (great dogs & ice cream) or Huddle House, all on the left.
