| August 14th... General Lee's Last Stand! (Formerly the Unnamed Run)
We have a name!!! Congratulations to Bruce Pancoast for his winning submission of "General Lee's Last Stand." Date: August 14 2004 Kickoff Point: Wegman's Market, Sterling VA just up Pacific from MINI of Sterling Meeting Time: 8:00 AM Driver Meeting: 8:30AM Departure Time: 9:00AM SHARP We'll be headed from Sterling up some backroads through towns like Aldie, Middleburg, Halfway, Marshall and eventually up to the picturesque Skyline Drive, which we will take up to the Skyland Lodge (the highest point on the Drive) for lunch. Other important information for this route: Gas and Rest Stops: There aren't many, I'm sorry about that. I recommend coming to Wegman's with a full tank of gas. However Wegman's is a terrific market where you can use the potty facilities and pickup coffee and a bite to eat if you wish before we leave. There will be a brief stop enroute as well where gas, cash, and food and beverages will also be available. Due to the nature of this route, there really were few places with facilities that could accomodate more than a few cars. Fees: The National Park Service charges $10 per car to enter Skyline Drive. This fee covers unlimited entry to Skyline Drive for 7 days. This fee will be collected by NPS when we enter the Drive at Thornton Gap. In addition non-DCMM members will be charged a $5 event fee at the start of the drive. This fee collected by DCMM is to help offset the logistical fees incurred by the event organizers as well as to offset event insurance charges to the club, again this fee applies to non-members only. Lunch: Lunch will be at Skyland Lodge hopefully by 12:30 at the latest. Menu items at the lodge range from $5 to $10. Radios: As always we'll be using FRS/GMRS radios during this run, they will be critical since once we get deep into the run there will be limited cellphone coverage. Please RSVP either here, on MINI2, or NAM...
