Canadian Caravan to RTD 17
The Canadians (except Darcy and Joey) will be taking the long way to the event (as usual) again this year. Departure will be Tuesday Morning so you need a weeks holiday if you want to join us. It will be a combination of driving twisties and sight seeing. Route is not locked in yet but start as we cross at Buffalo, head south to Seneca Rocks for a Cave tour. From there using as many mountains as possible to arrive a Marion VA. From there, Little Switzerland for lunch and Emerald Caverns and lunch, before heading south to Toccoa GA for Thursday night. Friday after a meal stop in Helen GA, we will arrive at Fontana from the South on time for the Ball Field Festivities. If it seems like 4 days of adventure to arrive somewhere that can be driven in 14 hrs direct, you are correct.
We are fine tuning this so it may change before departure.

It will be a combination of driving twisties and sight seeing. Route is not locked in yet but likely will cross at Buffalo, head south towards Harrisonburg VA, through as many mountains as possible and catching Little Switzerland before heading south to Helen GA. Yes, we will arrive at Fontana from the South on Friday in time for the Ball Field Festivities. If it seems like 5 days of adventure to arrive somewhere that can be driven in 14 hrs direct, you are correct.
Attractions on our "hit" list include Piper Museum, Seneca Caverns, Natural Bridge and Linville Falls or Caves. We are sorting this list out so may change before departure.
Prior years the odd American has joined us for the adventure and you are more than welcome if you PM me.

Yes Mike, I believe you were the first Odd American to join us. That was the year we were wrecking NFR cars. But there was the Odd guy from Florida with the Yellow CR and two years ago the White from InLine Pro. We attract them like flys to sugar.

I have a block of rooms at the General Francis Marion Hotel for those of you who plan on spending Wednesday night in Marion, VA at Back of the Dragon. The rate is $108 a night. This is a special rate for S2000 people and you will need to give your credit card information to hold the room for you. Ask for the Honda S2000 rate to get the special price.
