Post Hanging Rock State Park Drive

I decided to do a drive arround Hanging Rock State Park next ***sunday***.

The roads up there look very nice and I have not stretched the legs of the S in a while. I have never driven up there, so I plan on keeping a gentle, enjoyable pace that anyone should feel comfortable following.

Anyone interested in the drive is welcome to join. The only place I have found with parking space to meet at is what appears to be a Shopping Mall on Summit Square Blvd., right by University Pkwy., north of Winston-Salem, NC. There is also a Lowe's store (5901 UNIVERSITY PKY WINSTON SALEM, NC 27105) adjacent to the parking lot.

I expect to be there by 1:30pm. We could meet, do the drive, and then hit Applebees (right by Lowe's) to share points of view about the experience.

See you arround.

Pedro

Doing ok. Been away from the boards for a little while. A roll bar has been on my wish list for a long time, but it's not going to happen for a while. What event are you running Nick?
