Default MD-VA-DC Drive to Eat Crabs in Planning Stage

Just sayin'. Planning now that crab season is about to start. I know some awesome back roads to the venue. More news to follow.

AKA drive on the backroads to a crab eating joint. Start point would likely be Accokeek and McLean. End point--Southern MD, crab joint on the Potomac, plenty of easy parking.

The tentative name for the drive is the Southern Maryland in-Bread 991 Odyssey. Other Porsche project types welcome of course. Not looking for a big turnout. Three or four good drivers is the idea. No shoulders on the roads and one hair-pin blind turn (rare in the metro area) so your sh@# needs to be tight. no tailgatin' fools need apply (DEER! Duck! Pun!). Just sayin'.

Could you message me with those back roads - I am very curious to know what they are, I would love to check it out one of these days (I live in the area), though not a Porsche owner yet....

I can't speed at all...I have a jeep at the moment, can only cruise. Thanks for the video, man, it has been ages since I have seen that movie.

Jeep makes a great vehicle. Thanks for making me think of that good old song.

Well I live down here and I'm curious what place you're thinking of as a destination. Sounds like a lot of fun, no matter what.

One of the crab joints near Capt Billies, north of the Nice Bridge. Open to new ideas. Have not decided exact place.

Very interesting, once you have dates nailed down - I am in! At 1000 miles, need some more

Sounds epic. If I was in your neighborhood I'd definitely join. Maybe I'll have to organize something similar here for a Texas Hill Country BBQ run.

The NYT officially put us on the map this week with a "36 Hours in..." piece. Well la-ti-da!

Sad. Hoped it would get better this year.

Robinson's is closed for good, too. CAPT Billy's just isn't good enough.
