I was just up there on Wednesday. Unfortunately, the pollution/haze prevented looking out at the valley. However, just before exiting Skyline Drive at Thornton Gap, I saw a small black bear at the roadside. Very neat. Nice pics... your Coupe looks very much like mine.

GREAT PICS~~ I'm thinking about doing that drive again this fall with some buddies. Skyline drive itself is great but even better is the drive going out there on the looooooooooooooooooooooooong straightaways~

I live about 20 minutes from Skyline Drive/Blue Ridge Parkway and rarely go there - speed limit is too oppressive 
But if you do go to the southern terminus of Skyline, you owe it to yourself to go to G&W in Waynesboro to see some ultra-rare Porsches.

Nice picts! I haven't been to Skyline Drive in a while. This is making me want to go soon.
I can't complain though, the same day you were out there I was at Summit Point w/the Merc Club. Only 55 cars in 4 run groups. Are any of you guys coming to VIR w/the Potomac region of the Porsche club? Trust me, it's MUCH more fun than the Skyline Drive runs. ;-)

I'd love to come to the VIR event but was told by the PCA rep that the lower classes "fill up in seconds." Guess I'll keep a wary eye out for the next DE.
I'm working with a few friends to get a run to skyline drive scheduled too. I haven't been up there since I picked up my 996.

P.S. I fly out of Front Royal, the northern end of the Skyline Drive. When you want to drive it is in the fall, then it is just spectacular! (but pick a weekday -- the weekends are jammed)

Skyline Drive is great especially in the fall. I take drives out there every year to watch the leaves turn. I just joined PCA Potomac so I don't know if you guys organize trips out there. Please e-mail me next time you guys take a trip so I can tag along.
