Attention: Roving Roadsters

It's time to look at the Blue Ridge Parkway Drive. Tammy and Russ will be doing a lot of the planning and coordination but we do need help and input from each of you to make the trip a success.

Blue Ridge Parkway - Main Website: <CLICK HERE>

Dates: Sunday June 29th though Saturday July 5th

The basic plan is

  • Sunday - June 29th See Schedule (Meet  in Cherokee NC - Southern end of the Parkway)
    • Those of you that want to visit Asheville and the Biltmore Estate should do that on Saturday June 28th. We do not plan to make that part of the drive.
  • Saturday - July 5th (Break up at the north end of Shenandoah National Park)
    • The parkway is 412 miles and Shenandoah National Park at the North end is about 100 miles so the total "official drive" will be over 500 miles. With side trips, we'll probably average 150 to 200 miles/day but who really cares?)

We expect that folks will create some mini-convoys twixt here and the parkway. We will be blocking rooms in hotels for us for the dates above.

We will plan some shopping, some hiking, perhaps a visit to Mayberry (now called Mount Airy, NC), some driving, some meals and a lot of fun along the way. This trip will be laden with scenery and old time camaraderie.

We'd like to have a planning meeting on Sunday April 6th at a restaurant meeting room in the Cincinnati area and we need a rough head-count to see who might be coming.

Please look at this meeting in March as a preparatory meeting with no commitment, however at the end of the meeting we'd like to get a planning number to work with so we can book hotels, meals etc.

Please send either me: (chris@cane.com) and Tammy (lachemie@gmail.com) an email letting us know if you're planning to attend a meeting on Sunday April 6th.

I guess some of you may want to make the Blue Ridge drive  but can't make it to our April 6th meeting. If that's the case with you then please let us know so we can keep you on the list.

Please let us know your plans:
