Saturday drive
If it doesn't rain tomorrow (and I don't think it will) I'm thinking of driving up in the foothills north of W-S, similar to the drive Golden Eagle has led. Anyone interested?
NC - VA Border Run
START 0.0 East on South Main Street in King, NC
LEFT 1.7 miles Brown Road
RIGHT 2.4 miles Chestnut Grove Road
LEFT 0.3 miles YMCA Camp Road (this is a very sharp left, watch carefully)
LEFT 6.1 miles NC 66N
STRAIGHT 7.0 miles Stay on 66N thru Intersection with NC268 (this is more like a quick right then left jag)
LEFT 6.5 miles Merge onto NC 89W towards Westfield
RIGHT 6.4 miles Slate Mountain Road
RIGHT 2.9 miles East Pine Street (aka NC103E)
LEFT 2.4 miles Unity Church Road, VA 614 (just over bridge at the VA state line)
STRAIGHT 4.4 miles At Stop Sign, Cross Ararat Highway onto Squirrel Spur
RIGHT 6.1 miles VA 600
LEFT 0.3 miles Crossver to Blue Ridge Parkway
RIGHT 0.1 miles Blue Ridge Parkway
LEFT 12.4 miles Winery Road at Mile Marker No. 172.5
RIGHT 0.3 miles Chateau Morisette Parking Lot
TOTAL 59.3 MILES

I'd love to make that run but I have plans this weekend.
Why not try to put something together in the fall? I'm game.

We'll be up that way just this w/e, but not with the S and we don't have the time on Saturday.

The fall is when we usually do it - we can definitely make an official NC-VA Border run; I was thinking spur of the moment though... I'm getting new tires soon and I want to thouroughly kill what's left of my old ones!
