Skyline Drive Outing Saturday Nov 3

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

If you guys would look at that and select a couple of outlooks/stop points...that'll be great.

We should start in the middle and drive North towards i66. There are tons of stopping points every 2 miles or something every turn.

Maybe come in from the north and come out in the middle onto an interstate? What's a feasible exit??

So rendezvous by 09:30 in Fairfax then...earlier if we want to have breakfast.

We're aiming to spend lunch at the skyland resort.

That could work... But it's easier to exit onto i66 after we are done, less local roads and you will be tired.

I rather get there fast....

edit: I think we should just stick to North entrance and then reverse exit...its only 82 miles of twisties and about 100 miles of I-66 total for the day, not that tiring. Besides the same route in reverse is practically a different route so its not like its gonna be boring the 2nd time back out.

You don't think that's too far?

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.
