Southern Rally 2011 - Little Switzerland in September

Gas Man · 07-17-2011, 08:07 PM

Planning the trip. Get to Front Royal, VA; ensuring I go thru WV. Should make it there in 1 day.

Then BRP all the way to Little Switzerland and at 13hrs (440 miles) I will plan on 2 days to make the trek via the BRP. Does this sound ok boys & girls?

Here's my plot
Google Map

Anybody want to join me? Capt? Derf? NE boys? Could meet me in VA.

You thinking of joining me north of you in VA?

derf · 07-17-2011, 09:12 PM

If i dont go down to miss I might just meet you in detroit

Gas Man · 07-17-2011, 09:47 PM

Cool, let me know.

I swear I posted in here about an hour ago, but nothing is showing up. Weird. Anyway, I start classes Aug 24. One class is M, W, F from 10 to 10:50am. The other is a web class. Provided there aren't any tests scheduled that would get in the way, I'll be there (especially since Trip took my schedule with my daughter into consideration when he planned this). I might be able to skip either a Fri or Mon class, but not both. Depending on the schedule, I'll either head down Fri immediately after class or be able to leave Thurs, but have to head home Sun to make the Mon class. I won't know until I get the syllabus for each class. Hell, even if I have to leave Fri right after class and then head home Sun afternoon, I'll be there for part of the festivities.

Well let me know Avery. You could possibly meet up with us in ohio. Not sure how it fits in with your trip.

If I have no choice but to ride straight through, then it's 9 1/2 hours of mostly interstate. Map of the quick route. If I want to add in WV and VA interstate, then it's more like 12 hours. Map to simply add WV and VA. However, I'm hoping to have the time for a WV and VA run on fun roads which will make the trip more like 16 1/2 hours. If I can do the 16 hour trip, I'd ride to Elkins, WV and camp in the Monongahela National Forest Thurs night, then make it to Big Lynn Lodge Friday late afternoon. My route if I camp in WV

Posting a new thread to find out when everyone actually plans to arrive at the Lodge.
