Welcome to our area

Wish I was going to be here, but I am leaving early in the week for CI VII

There are plenty of active Forum members in the area, perhaps if you posted and idea of when you are arriving and when you are leaving, we could hook up

There's some great areas to visit, Yorktown, Williamsburg, Jamestown and you could ride along the Colonial Parkway, catch the free ferry at Jamestown for a ride across the James River

Lots of things over in Virginia Beach as well..depends on what you like to do

Post more here about your plans

Ah, Fort Monroe is an interesting place. If you are into Civil War history you are right there. Revolutionary War, the Colonial Parkway, Wmsburg and Jamestown.

Hi

Arriving on Sunday will make it difficult to hook up...I know I will be spending that weekend getting ready for Cruise In

Yes, There is a lot of history in the area, including Fort Monroe where you will be

I still suggest you do the Colonial Parkway/ferry thing

From Fort Monroe, head west on I 64 toward Richmond, Take Mercury Blvd Exit south to Smithfield, cross James river bridge and follow signs to route 10 west

Once in Surry, look for signs to Scotland Ferry

Take the Ferry across the James River..look for signs to Colonial Parkwy toward Yorktown

Get off the Parkway at Williamsburg and drive around there

Get back on the Parkway toward Yorktown and once there, drive around, stop and enjoy the sights

Take Route 17 South from Yorktown toward Newport News, get on I 64 east back to Fort Monroe

Get maps of the area and check it out

sorry I will be tied up

have fun

Jack

I resent that comment

I use calenders for lots of things..I set my drinks on them...write phone numbers on them...cover up holes in the wall with them!

Is there something else I should do?

It is Little Creek Amphib Base in Va Beach off Shore Drive. One of the best sites in the southeast to AutoX. Go to www.autocross.us and look at event coverage and you will get all the details. It will be worth the trip.

you have to create an account (free) look for TSCC at ACU-4. ACU-4 is located on the LIttle Creek base
