****LATE BREAKING NEWS.... Departure is still tomorrow (Tuesday) morning from Shirlington, but the meet-up has been moved to Luna Cafe (Luna Grill?), which is in the old part of the main drag, a few doors down from Carlisle Grand. Breakfast at 8:45, departure at 9:30. As always, we will be in the look-out for Ferraris and overly ambitious minivans. Don't forget the FRS en route to BRBS!!!!!!!!

Caravan Group Name Atlanta Wednesday BRBS Caravan
Organizer(s) Meredith Everett
Atlanta, GA
Proposed Caravan Details  
Some Atlanta BRBS participants plan to do the following caravan - let me know if you'd like to join!

Leave Chateau Elan around 11 am Wednesday, head to Asheville. Have casual lunch in Asheville. Join the group at Chimney Rock? Head to Blowing Rock and have dinner there, then head to the Boxster Bar.

We're still firming this up and I will update as we do.

We need to figure out the arrangements for Chimney Rock.

If we leave Chateau Elan at 11, we'll get to Asheville around 2. Let's have lunch somewhere, walk around and drive to Chimney Rock to arrive at 4:30. If they leave Blowing Rock at 2:30, they should get to Chimney Rock around 4:30... so we should plan to meet the group at 4:30 somewhere in Chimney Rock. Any ideas of a specific location there?

Does this sound about right to everyone?

Is the Atlanta Caravan planning on dinner at Rumbling Bald Resort on Wednesday? Doesn't sound like it. Silvia and I may join up at Chateau Elan, as may Pedro and David.

No, we're planning on hanging out at Chimney Rock for a while with the group that drives down from BRock, then heading out to get into BRock around 7pm. Then, quick shower and out to dinner and then to the Boxster Bar.

Good, I was starting to get worried thinking that they were not going to let in the front door with just a bunch of 996/997/Cayman from Atl.

So, is Pedro not making the trip in one day anymore?

Sil and I will join you all on Wednesday, after an Elan night. You need at least one Boxster, after all. As of now Pedro is doing the trip in two days, hoping to both meet up with David in Daytona, and with the Hotlanta group either at the Chateau or in Ashville. I don't think his plans will be totally finalized until the last minute.

I'll (Mary is not coming) be joining you guys for lunch in Asheville with David Wilson (Suncoast Porsche) and his wife.
We're hooking up in Daytona Beach early Wednesday morning, so that we can be in Asheville by 2:00PM.
Happy Boxstering,
Pedro

Gary - I don't think we've gotten that far yet in planning... I think we're going to get into town and use our radios to communicate as to where we should eat. I'm open to suggestions though.
