Default Double Dragon 2023?

So are any of the Canadians or New England S2000 owners wanting to meet up early in Marion, VA. Enjoy some of the great roads in that area before heading down to Fontana for the RTD 2023 event.
Tentative Schedule:
Sunday - May 7th: Travel day to Marion, VA. Lodging at the Red Roof Inn
Monday - May 8th: Enjoy a day of driving the area north of Marion. BOTD and into West Virginia
Tuesday - May 9th: Enjoy a day of driving the area south of Marion. VA-58 and The Snake.
Wednesday - May 10th: Leave Marion, VA for the trek down to Fontana.
Post up if you might be interested in joining in on this great time.

All the Canadians minus Darcy Curt and Dave will be not too far from you. We've got an Airbnb in Little Switzerland from the 7th to 10th. Maybe we can meet up on the Tuesday or Wednesday trip.

the Tuesday May 9th take VA 16 South and hit VA 58.

Still a game day decision. Where are you coming from and I can adjust the route up. Yes Atlanta but haven’t finalized which one.
