Booked and ready to roll. Hoping we get a good contingent from WPA/NWV area. Sent out a notice to our local 928OC group, and would like to caravan down with others. Let me know if you want to join our group rolling out Friday morning (so far, 3 of us going). Would like to meet up with other caravans along the way. We'll be taking I-79 Sounth for a good peice...

There are usually 2 groups from the NoVA/MD area that go down Friday (leave 6-8am) and come back Sunday night/Monday morning. Also the Boston crew drives through the area. Last year, I drove alone and skipped a lot of the highway driving. Hopefully I'll bottom out my car a few less times in the corners this year.

I'd be happy to skip the highway driving for a more interesting route down from Manassas VA.

Last time I was on a trip like this, we took the bad way to Portland from Boise and were 45 min ahead of schedule at the half way mark! then my car broke down.
