Congrats on the marriage and I hope you enjoyed Jamaica. The wife and I had our honeymoon there too and it was a blast! Anyway, 22-23 sounds good. When will most of the driving take place? We have a birthday to attend on the 23rd, but hopefully can get some fun in on the 22nd. Looking forward to the details. Enjoy the rest of your trip. Doug |

I dunno all this confusion makes me want to do a day thing as opposed to the whole weekend (cheaper too). I don't know about you guys, but I really enjoyed the Skyline run we did on sept 11, 2010. Where we met at ~10am and drove till about 5pm with the lunch break in between. Thoughts?

The whole point of this drive is to get to some of the best roads in the US, which exist in WV. Yeah it's a long drive and a good part of a weekend but it's bound to be a great time and I'm not planning to do this every year. Common guys, we bought these cars for a reason.

OK, so the Marriott probably has better rooms but the Quality Inn has a bar (http://www.qualityinn.com/hotel-lewi...?promo=gglocal). Both are right next to a Ruby Tuesdays. There's also an Irish Pub downtown but there's limited street parking and I can't say anything about the quality.
The Quality Inn, Marriott and Hampton are all right next to each other so really people could stay at whichever they choose and gather at one for the beers.

I'd favor the Marriott, but that's just me. Of course we can meet wherever.
Was the plan to block rooms or just book on our own? Once it's a sure thing I'll go ahead and book. Thanks for putting this together. |

Awesome! Looking forward to meeting everyone.
All booked and ready to go, but I opted for the Fairfield in after a few bad experiences with Quality Inns. Like DarkStar said, Lewisburg is no Reston, but if we are there for fancy hotels we probably should reconsider |

Darkstar-I've booked a room at the Quality Inn in Lewisburg. Please update us with the time and place of our first meet on Saturday and a detailed itinery. My wife suggested we stop by some places that are quite scenic to take pics of the foliage or other important landmarks if possible. This should serve as a good break in between our spirited driving

I'm too tired to post anything big but the route plan is complete including the meeting location, time, and all the stops. You only need to go into google street view at any point of the route to get an idea of how awesome these roads are.
The main lunch place on Saturday will be the National Radio Astronomy Obervatory. I'm not planning on doing a big group tour, though if you want to, do it, it takes less than an hour and is only $3! Food there will be normal cafe stuff, hot dogs, burgers, sandwiches. The main lunch place on Sunday, which will also mark the end of the Run, will be in down town Staunton. Lots of really good hole-in-the-wall places to eat so just pick whichever looks best to you. Route plan: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=...93186,4.216003

Darkstar - we met up yesterday at Great Falls (Z4M Coupe). I really wanted to do this, but the wife reminded me that I have other obligations next weekend. Any other runs this fall?
