Nope, but have been to the dirt track near there many times, not too far from where I grew up.

Hitch a ride into town and eat lunch at Duke's steakhouse. My wife's aunt owns it, and everything I've had there has been good, even the filet mignon sandwich (which sounds like a waste of a good steak, right up until the first bite!).

EKN is a fun field, down in a bowl of mountains. Look for the wind tetrahedron, my first visit I couldn't find it and landed on the recommended runway. With a tailwind. In my Mooney. Without a lot of hours. Don't make my same mistake . . .

Can't see getting between the two anywhere near that fast without a jet. None the less, a cool trip. Nostalgia for me. Used to race in elkins, WV and used to work across the road (literally) from SVH...small world.
