Used to live in Charlotesville. Northen end of skyline drive was a
regular stomping ground of mine.
Used to live in northern Virginia and the Blue Ridge Pkwy was a regular
motorcycle ride for me (no spridget then) Definitely worth driving.
Don't know if I have time to do an all encompassing trip with the
mountain tour and sprite rush. Once we get a little closer to CARAVAN
time we'll have to work on a route and some meeting points to hook up
with one another.
If anyone wants great info on the area around wintergreen/
Charlottesville I'll be happy to tell you where the good roads are!
Has anyone got any suggestions for accomodations, camping, hotels, etc?
