Northern VA Cruise Options

[saleenvic]

Hi 6GC fam,

Aren’t you guy glad we’re done with winter? I am,, well now that we’re going to have warmer days, I wanted to coordinate with you guys in the area and set up a cruise thru Skyline Drive in Front Royal. I haven’t been thru here in ages, but how fun would it be to meet up with other 6gc members and kick back and enjoy life a little bit right? So Skyline Drive runs aprox 105 miles or 3hours more or less (not that we have to do the whole ride thru). It runs north and south along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Shenandoah National Park, so it’s a pretty drive. (I’ve only been maybe a quarter of the way thru). There are 4 entrances. We would enter thru Front Royal at U.S. 340, and get off at one of the following: Thornton Gap at U.S. 211, Swift Run Gap at U.S. 33, or Rockfish Gap at I-64 / U.S. 250.

Being that I have not come thru there in a while, I’m not sure if any rules have changed. I believe the entrance fee is still $10. It is low speed, 35/40 so it’s nothing crazy, but ideal for us convertible guys. I think that they don’t particularly like large car groups. So to avoid any problems (cars from other groups increasing the number) we may have to keep it strictly Celica’s. For now the date is going to be Saturday May 3rd which hopefully is enough time for everyone to clear their schedules.

Skyline Drive Cruise May 3rd 2014 (could change if too many people can’t make that date)
Meet at 10am, and depart at 10:30am.
465 South St, Front Royal VA 22630 (KMart parking lot- there’s places to stop for breakfast in the area if you need to)

So, if you’re interested add you’re name to the list, and send me a pm so we can share numbers. If you are coming down from MD, I can meet up somewhere near Manassas and we can travel down together. Hopefully you guys can come out,,,

Skyline drive is a painnnnful experience...

Much more entertaining roads that don't require 35mph speed limits and traffic.

Why don't yall join us for the Toyota meet next saturday?
