From: Here, naturally.
I just PMed this to Robm but decided to put it here as well in case anyone else is Down early and wants to do this either with or with out me depending on when I can get down there.
I may be able to get down that way Thursday. I live an hour and 20 mins from Summersville and our family summer home is 50mins on the other side. If I can make it down early enough (or at all) Thursday I’d like to drive with you. Or alternatively on Friday. I’m not clear whether there is a scheduled drive on Friday or not.
If I don’t make it to join you I recommend driving down to Fayetteville, 30 mins south. On the way turn right onto Rt 60 and head over to Hawks Nest park for a beautiful overlook, take 16 to loop over to Fayetteville New River Gorge National park is there. Lots of great places to eat. Cathedral cafe for breakfast. Southside junction or Pies and Pints for lunch. Drive down into the Gorge on the one lane road for some beautiful views. Don’t worry the S will make it without scraping. A tram goes down the mountain from the hotel if you’re into that. If you want to go further south, head on down to Hinton. Good curvy roads going through Shady Springs way. If you end up doing that, the Dish in Daniels is a great place to eat lunch.

Thursday, I'll be driving from NC, take the "Back of the Dragon" from Marion to Tazewell, VA on Thursday, check out Burkes Garden, then staying over in Princeton, WV at the Hampton Inn.
Friday, it's WV-20 & WV41 from Princeton up to Summersville, spend some time at the lake, then meet you Friday evening for dinner. If you are coming up from NC via Wytheville, we can meet up in Princeton before I leave.

I signed up for the Friday 3pm catwalk tour under the New River Gorge Bridge if anyone wants to join--that is if you're not afraid of heights! Check out the details at www.bridgewalk.com
