Hi folks,
I live very close to NYC and am planning to start my trip on Thur eve around 3.30 pm after leaving work early.
Since I might hit evening traffic @ multiple spots, I am planning to drive for about 5/6 hours and spending Thursday night either @ Harrisonburg or Staunton depending on how tired I am.
And then I saw this thread and now know more about the Blue Ridge. Darn!
It is so tempting to join the caravan on Friday, but I suspect that it will be quite tough for me to join given my start time on Thursday.
Let me see if I can advance my time and reach Roanoke that night and join you folks on Friday. Will keep you posted.
Thanks!
