Hey Kids!

I grew up in Waynesboro Virginia which is down near the other end of the Skyline Drive. I helped build the bridges on I-64E the summer after my senior year in high school. (I shoveled mud mostly ). It looks like my wife and I are a go for this trip. Mr Mojo and JimS have both filled me in on how the cruise usually works and it sounds like fun. Thanks!

I will be driving from Houston and then will store my car somewhere in the East until I take it to the CF cruisein at the end of May in BG.

We are looking forward to it. Jim, check is in the mail.

Doug

That was a nice article on the cruise as well. Whoever was driving that silver shark that is pictured in the article needs to contact me...
Jim, I still haven't gotten my issue. It seems the pony express lost it at a transfer point. Yesterday I trekked to Borders and B&N and nada, so I'm out. If you get some extra issues to put into goody bags at Spring Skyline, would you please set one aside for me? I'll be there for sure to get it if you can do that.

DAMNIT!

I will be in Va Beach that weekend (company convention). Oh well, this will be the first one I have missed in 3 years

Memories from Fall 2005, complete with snow!

Sounds like a lot of fun and a chance to meet some of the local forum members. I'll be there.

Default Pre-registration list

I've edited the first post in this thread with the pre-registration list. I check the PO Box about once per week. If you mail in your check and do not see your name on the list, give me a holler.

I called Quality Inn today to arrange for rooms. As soon as I hear back from them I'll post the info.

I remember Waynseboro well. I had a couple days vacation there when my optispark quit on the mountain and I had to get towed down from the south entrance of Skyline Drive (after I couldn't stop and almost hit a couple cars). I had to coast down that last mountain dead-stick and ran out of brake assist vacuum just before the ranger station.

It still didn't wipe the smile off my face. I love driving those mountains in the Vette.

I've updated the pre-registered list at the beginning of this thread.

Room rates:
$59.50 for 1-2 people and a room with a king size bed
$56.65 for 1-2 people and a room with two double beds

There is an addition charge if there are more then 2 people in a room.

Quality Inn: 540-635-3161

Tell them that you are with the "Corvette Club" to get the discounted rate.

I also heard some unconfirmed rumors about the permit from a local source in Front Royal and will find out the skinny on that before I say anything else... Having said all that, we will make this work one way or another. More details to follow...
Jim, any more on this?? Hope it is resolved in our favor
