Saturday November 3, 2007
09:00 onwards


We've been talking about this outing since maybe last spring , but it never materialized.

I've been meaning to the recommended Fall drive up there to see the foliage eversince I moved here but never got around to it.

So is anyone else interested in joining us? It'll be just a casual drive, take some pictures, soak in that nice clean autumn air, that sort of thing.

I'm also soliciting any recommendations and tips for this outing including routing, lunch places, stops etc. They will be much appreciated.

So far I was thinking of an early morning rendezvous in Fairfax, possibly over breakfast. Also, I was thinking of maybe doing a small picnic and/or bbq as I understand there isn't much up there.

Initial interest list

I think going about 40 miles 1 way is better, I don't want to be driving like 5hrs in Skyline, it gets annoying after the first hour.
80 miles back and forth, let's say we average 20mph thats 4 hours max, don't be such a girl Its gonna be a good drive and we'll take frequent NOS and cigarettes break...

Go in one entrance and out the other. The mid-drive exit at 211 provides lots of twisties to/from Sperryville. Much much more twisties than the Front Royal entrance and the speed limit is higher than on the drive.

As it's heading into more "peak" leaf peeping, it will probably be a bit more crowded than last week especially in the early day. Do expect deer all over and lots of slow cars.

Donny,

I sent you a text. Im definately in. I think there would be a great way to tie in the great section of Twisties that is VERY close to Skyline and a great way to go home.

Give me a call or let me know, we can ......talk it out, BRO.
