Boston area 928 group to Sharks in the Mountains:
For the 7th year in a row, our pilgrimage to SITM will leave June 3 thursday from rte 90 in MA and do all of Skyline drive about 5 pm thursday, stop overnight at Waynesboro and continue from mile marker 1 of BRP at 8 am friday to cruise on down to the Hotel at SITM that evening. We stop on the BRP for lunch around noon.
Bring a 2 way radio for communication, and a reliable shark. Bring your own spares: oil, coolant, brake fluid (if deemed necessary), some tools, fuses, relays, and fuse/relay chart. The most common items are broken rubber exhaust hangers and drooping belly pans. Check your car. It can be 30 miles to get help from the parkway, and be gassed up. You will need a full tank.
The hotel at Waynesboro:
Comfort Inn, 15 Windigrove drive, Waynesboro VA 22980
(540)932-3060
split a room to save $$$.
Our route is rte 90 in MA to 84 through CT then catch 81 south in Scranton PA, then down to Skyline Drive to finish at the hotel thursday pm in Waynesboro VA, and continue on Blue Ridge Parkway to SITM.
People either meet us on the way down from Boston, at the start of Skyline Drive, at the Waynesboro Hotel thursday night, or at mile marker 1 of BRP friday morning 8 am.
It's a good time, and by the time you get to SITM you have already had a great time. If the weather cooperates, it's the best time you will have in your 928 all year.

Hey guys,
It's been a long time. I know I stood you guys up last year. Been crazy busy - and still too busy.
I thought I was going to make it this year, but a have a Friday mtg I committed to. I always register and get a room at the last second. I think I'm going to miss you guys again.
Stay out of trouble. Hope you guys get lucky and don't see any rain all weekend.

The meeting place in MA for anybody interested is:
Mass Pike (rte 90) rest area in Westborough, 1 mile east of rte 495, at 8am thursday June 3.
We will be passing through Scranton PA around 12:30 and headed south on 81 to Front Royal (Rte 66 east off 81 goes right there) to do Skyline drive starting around 5:30 or so. Skyline Drive is 108 miles of twisty good stuff and takes a few hours. Then we arrive at the hotel in Waynesboro off Rte 64.
Friday 8am at mile marker 1 (first scenic overlook) on BRP is the next meeting point.
Getting close now, I hope the weather cooperates!!!

Just an update: we will be leaving from home an hour earlier, so should be getting to Skyline drive thursday at closer to 4:30pm.
We have a few drop outs in our group this year due to work, Dave C's injury, weather (wtf...) and whatever else. We will see y'all on the way down or down there.
I'm looking forward to it.
