You are in for an awesome drive !!!! I have driven the Blue Ridge Parkway, the entire length...then the Skyline Drive, the entire length...Absolutely gorgeous !!!...Just a little note: Watch your speed !!!! Don't press too much beyond 55...Speed limit is 45 !!!!
DITTO THAT! The National Park Police don't play by the same rules as everyone else. The fines are stiff. Plus when in Virginia - ditch the radar detector, they are illigal in that state. If caught with one in the car, it will be taken and not returned! And for the record - I really envy your being able to make a long week of the trip.

If I can ask, what route are you taking through PA?

Skyline Drive about 45 miles south of Front Royal is tar and chip (and a TON of road dust). I drove it with the Mid-A group 1.5 years ago, and still have dust in parts of the car I cant reach, from that drive.

Just a friendly FYI. I definitely dont want to discourage you from driving it, though - its beautiful, just crappy road conditions sometimes.

Radar detectors are illegal in Canada too


Have a safe trip and enjoy the time off to make the drive.
