ok so what's the time we are planning to meet?

KL2DC · 10-31-2007, 01:30 PM

I looked at the site, I think we should shoot to drive all the way up to Skyland Resort which is the highest point (?).

This is the timeline and distance...

Its about 50 miles from Fairfax to Front Royal, VA

Factor in a couple odd miles to the main entrance.

We go up via the Front Royal entrance.

Its about 41.5 miles to reach skyland resort from the entrance.

Along the way we can schedule 2-3 photography / bathroom /ciggie break spots

At skyland resort they have a restaurant of sorts, I'll post up details soon, food's probably crap but the atmosphere should be awesome.

Maybe spend an hour up there and then reverse route back to VA?

So that's about 1 to 1.5 hours to reach Front Royal entrance, another 2-3 hours (with stops) to reach Skyland and then back...

Its gonna be an all day affair that is why I recommend an early morning rendezvous...

I was expecting just a regular drive through the mountains but this really sounds pretty good Donny

MnK6 · 10-31-2007, 01:36 PM

MnK6 · 10-31-2007, 01:37 PM

no picnic....there's a restaurant, go up a few posts, the menu is there.

Although a cooler of drinks/NOS and maybe some sandwiches for emergency rations might not be a bad idea.

KL2DC · 10-31-2007, 01:47 PM

Hey Juan you probably can do your whole fireplace mountain cabin routine
