I'm going on another dry run this Sunday... I'll ask about the need for a permit, and find the good stops between legs. ( :) )

RandyD 07-31-2011 01:40 PM

google map


ok - i'm settled on this route... it was excellent today!

i stopped and asked the ranger at the entrance to the park, no special permits required, but they do like to be informed of large groups... if we tell them ahead, then we might be expecting more patrols..

there was a nice peach orchard that i thought we could stop at, but today it was closed... so maybe not.

this is a fun ride... looking forward to sharing with everyone...

RandyD 08-01-2011 10:36 AM

checked with the Park Management, there is no permit required unless we exceed 20 cars.

birdmanx1 08-01-2011 11:11 AM

Great stuff Randy, it looks like we have somewhere around 10 cars so far 12 including the photographers. Would you maybe list the members who will attend the cruise on your first post for this thread? This is starting to look like the last cruise led by Shado :tup:

RandyD 08-01-2011 12:58 PM

OK - posted the list on page 1.

I also have a buddy with a BMW Z4 roadster... says he's interested.. i told him he has to go in the back, and pretend he wants to upgrade to a 370 :)

Masa 08-01-2011 01:06 PM

I may be up for this one. :tup:

got it... this could be more fun than the beach :) hope you can make it.

An early leg of the cruise goes by this interesting facility. The mountain top road is beautifully maintained and scenic and curvy. also not traveled heavily at all. Just thought you all might like to read up on whatever is behind the barbed wire and cameras we will be passing :)

Awesome Randy, that's going to be a lot of fun!

Just an additional note regarding the attendance on this cruise, Vapiano told me yesterday he'll part of the cruise on September 3rd :tup:

He drives a white Nismo though. Those types can be deceptive :icon08:

Si Senior, estan muy delicioso :icon17:

Hey guys, regarding the radios, if Trooper gets rid of them prior to the cruise, I'll borrow them elsewhere. Otherwise, we'll use Troopers' no matter what he thinks ;)

lazywolfe 08-10-2011 11:40 AM

Been crazy busy with work, almost forgot about this cruise. I'm in Randy :tup:

RandyD 08-10-2011 01:25 PM

I might be part of this caravan in September. Word of caution though... I was just up at Mt Weather for work and had 2 deer run right in front of me. Awesome drive, just got to keep an eye out for Bambi.

ZCarMan 08-20-2011 06:24 PM

I posted this event up on the Mid-Atlantic 370Z Owner's Club Meetup webpage as well.

nice - thanks

I ran it again today... uh oh po po on the mountain.. but no issues. Also, i found a really nice little alternative from Middleburg up to Lime Kiln Road. Can't wait - 2 weeks will come quick

birdmanx1 08-21-2011 07:53 PM

Nice Randy, the least popo the better. I'll be sporting my old volunteer firefighter shirt, also thinking about leaving some tasty donuts on the passenger seat just in case :p

No cruise for you Bill! JK

VaGntlmn 08-28-2011 10:18 AM

Is there a lunch stop in there somplace?
I may have missed it in all the posts.

Masa 08-29-2011 04:46 PM

So who's the lucky person I get to follow? I'm really bad with directions. :eekdance:

i didn't post it, but there is a nice little burger joint in Front Royal, Spelunkers i think it's called. I thought we would be there right around lunch time after the south to north run on the skyline drive... good time to stop.

actually - there are not that many turns...

how are we doing with walkie talkies? I'm sure it was Al's skilzorz but we did not have any issues on the last cruise - just a couple of waits if there was ever a light that someone might have missed.

m4a1mustang 08-29-2011 05:52 PM

Not gonna be able to make this one fellas. Hope you all have a fun drive. :tup:

shadoquad 08-29-2011 06:21 PM

Guys, looks like I won't be able to make it, either. I will either be at the Bmore Grand Prix, or I'll be doing serious housey stuff. I'm sorry to miss this, but I hope you all have a great time.

As far as radios, I no longer have the ones Trooper gave me. He sold them and I shipped them a few weeks back.

Kirkster 08-29-2011 07:53 PM

If the weather does not suck Liz and I are in...

RandyD 08-29-2011 09:11 PM

weather sez 85 and sunny - so far

mdztuners 08-31-2011 07:25 AM

Sorry to say, I can't make this now due to my CSC possibly being shot...have fun guys!

Roadster4Us 08-31-2011 07:29 AM

Unfortunately Laura and I won't be able to attend as we have to head up to Delaware. Sorry guys, enjoy the great scenery.

Somberlaine 08-31-2011 08:09 PM

With a couple days left, how many are attending?
