BE CAREFULL WITH DIRECTIONS, GOOGLE MAPS HAS YOU GOING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION
2080 US Hwy 70E, Morganton, NC – between Morganton and Drexel
VX is on the south side of US 70. The land falls away, and they are somewhat below the elevation of the highway. There is a recently-installed telephone cell tower on the property, that's a good landmark
