cmcveay Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Brian0758 proposed a meet up this coming weekend. Here's the idea: Meet at Sheetz in Haymarket (15315 Washington Street, Haymarket) on Sunday at 9 a.m. Gas up, grab a cold drink and head west on Rte 55. There will be several video cameras and still c 2014 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon "Homer" 2012 MB/CR JCW R55 "Merlin" Sold 2009 LB/LB R56 "Archie" Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanMBlue Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 This may sounds stupid, but I was talking to my Mom and Step-Dad about their weekend plans, and they showed a bit of interest in coming with us in their Jeep and/or Harley. There isn't some unwritten rule about non-minis at these things, is there? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian0758 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Looks like it could be fun, but you are going all the way around Skyline Dr. I haven't been to Skyline in a while, but I thought that was a pretty awesome road.

carman63 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I've been on at least part of that route. 211 to Luray has some NICE twisties on it :top: But it seems that every time I've been through the stretch close to a Skyline Drive entrance, there's been a crotch rocket eat it in a corner.

cmcveay Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Ryan - yeah, we all use the FRS/GMRS radios. The DCMM channels are 7/21. I've got a spare if anyone needs it.

cmcveay Posted May 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Brian, I agree, 9:30 will give us enough social time and enough time for folks to make it out. I'll PM/email my phone number to the Maybes that I haven't heard from.
