Planning to make the trek back to Marion, Va in my latest S2000. Thanks again John. With the border opening up for the Canuck Contingency being able to attend. I should be there on Monday, May 9th. What's your plan Canucks? I'll post up more info and routes as it gets closer to the event.

Is this part of your trip to RTD? I'm driving down on Tuesday the 10th to Fontana but I'm flexible on schedule.

I have done that route many times and plan to hit it again. If you keep going on 19W towards LSD its another great road with little to no traffic. One section is just unbelievable fun at any speed. Thanks Ken.

You might want to go to Unico, TN and take 220 to Little Switzerland. Don’t know if you’ve driven that section.

If you are talking about 226 I've done that also. We did it last fall with the Thursday drive. If you find any road I check it out. Always up for a drive in the mountains. Might even show up in KY for one. Not S2K Days sorry.
