TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) Post here if you want to caravan and what day you leave Remember this is a public forum so don't go listing too much personal information so that someone could figure out that your house is empty. Past experience has also shown that large caravans can be stressful on highways. I think we found that 6 and under is ideal and 8 is manageable. So if there's a big day it's a good idea to break them up. We tend to have bigger caravans coming home on Sunday Current caravan is Ali (TGGRRR) Mark (MarkDDrew) Craig (SneakyBaron) Edited April 5, 2017 by TGGRRR Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Donross Posted February 12, 2017 Report Posted February 12, 2017 typically, how long does it take to get there? Last year, from Baltimore I took Skyline Dr, Did a portion of Blue Ridge...then go off at Tye Dr to 81S, then I hopped off to do the back of the dragon. then straight into Fontana. Took 13hrs in one shot I'd love to do the Snake this year (for the old check in the box).
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 12, 2017 Author Report Posted February 12, 2017 For us about 9 hours with some stops to eat and piddle. We come from Springfield Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Posted February 15, 2017 Leaving Sunday morning, but not at the Godforsaken early hour that most other folks do. If you make it in time we'll see you at dinner. You know I'll be yapping for The Hub Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted April 5, 2017 Author Report Posted April 5, 2017 So the plan is as the last few years we'll meet at the gas station on 81 just south of where 66 hits 81. We meet at 7:00 and then head out from there. Usually make it to Fontana around 2:00 - 3:00. It depends if we stop for groceries on the way. There's a really good grocery store about an hour before we get there that is worth the stop. So far I have Mark, Ali and Craig in the caravan. I think I'll update the first thread so as we get more people we can keep track Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
Donross Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Looks like I'll be heading down on Monday, Coming from Baltimore,MD>Abington, VA>Mountain City, NC (Hitting Spoon Gap & the Snake)>Fontana Restort, NC. Debating on hitting Skyline Drive on the way down, Did it last year (for the first time) but it was real foggy... I would more than welcome company :top: :motor:
IndiCooper Posted April 5, 2017 Report Posted April 5, 2017 Ill be heading down Sunday morning down 81. Im usually an hour infront of you guys but if I end up getting a late start maybe I'll jump in the line.
