To the best of my knowledge, there is no VA 211... there is a US 211.

The way I heard it from some folks near me... the cops are usually out
in Thornton Gap (US 211 through the Shenandoahs) on the weekends
because of all the squids.

It wasn't that way a couple of years ago... but then again last time I
was out that way (maybe the time before that), someone went off the
road on the east side of the Gap before going into the mountains
(before it becomes two lanes going uphill)... as you enter the
national park.

So where is Moyers Gap Rd?  I've been doing some riding lately heading
out towards Harper's Ferry on VA 9 (which becomes WV 9)... and going
further on... found a nice road along side the Shenandoah River's west
bank that takes you from WV 9 to US 340...
