Rio, is on Route 29 south of Augusta on the Hampshire County side of the Hampshire/Hardy County line. Dont' know about High Knob. Glad to hear about Mikes Run. Don't remember hearing about it, but I am not familiar with Antioch. My dad taught school a couple of years in Antioch before my time.

It runs on the south side of Knobley Mountain and eastward. It is just south of Antioch, WV. I would highly recommend getting a WV highway map for Mineral County from: WV Division of Highways 1900 Kanawha Blvd. East, Bldg 5 Charleston, WV 25305-0430 304-558-2868 The maps are only a couple of bucks and well worth it! They show most of the runs, highways, cemeteries, etc. Call them for an exact price for each county. Hope this helps. Good luck Karen
