OK, so I suspect we'll be flying solo for most of the distance between Denver and Blowing Rock! However, we'll probably stay around Nashville on the night of the 2nd and will leave for Blowing Rock the morning of the 3rd, so maybe we can meet up with others who will be coming from the west...

We are leaving Cleveland,Ohio on Wednesday June 2nd early in the morning. Along the way joining up with some BRBS buddies from Canada and PA. We will be traveling I77 from Cleveland and joining the Canadian and PA folks at Beckley West Virginia. From there we plan to get off I77 at Wytheville, VA and take the scenic route the rest of the way (Route 21 and some of the Blue Ridge Parkway into Blowing Rock). The Canadian contingent is leaving on Tuesday and traveling via I90 through Buffalo and I79 to Pittsburgh where they plan an overnight stop. They will leave from Pittsburgh (with a PA BRBS buddy)on Wednesday morning. They will be taking I79 to 19 (at Sutton Lake)down to Beckley to meet us at I77. Anyone near those routes who would like to join us please contact Mike Marotta or in Canada and PA: Guenter Gamauf.

We are in! We live right off of exit 30 (Amity / Lone Pine) on I79 south, there is a rest area south bound between this exit and the next. can we meet the Canada and PA group there?

Looking forward to see the Boxster caravan grow. A few of the rest areas along I-79 were under construction or closed last year. Is the one south of exit 30 open for sure? Just a good idea to check. Looks like that exit is about 35 miles south of Pittsburgh. Should be easy to find.

Hello everyone,

Next morning on June 3rd, I’ll be coming down I81, to Front Royal VA (14 mi. East of I81) were we could rendezvous before leaving for Blowing Rock. I expect to be in Front Royal around 11AM and plan to leave around noon for an ETA of around 6PM at Blowing Rock.

Hmmm...Carlos, maybe you should consider our caravan above (Can-AM Boxsters) You would just have to go West then South instead of South then West! We have 4 cars so far - our Canucks are Leaving June 2nd stopping in PA overnight also - you could meet up with them along the way. Think about it!

We will meet at Chateau Elan on Thursday around 9:30AM with a departure time of 10:00AM. We will attempt last year's route since it covers some of the best roads in the area. If anybody from Florida or the south is heading our way let us know and we will try to meet with you.

Attn BRBS'ers in FL and ATL, if you are planning to attend the Thursday Pre-Event, this caravan is for you...

Floridians:
Looks like there will be ~12 cars from Florida heading to BRBS this year. Since everyone (or almost everyone) plans to attend the Thursday early BRBS event, let's try to get a caravan to get all of us to Blue Ridge by Wednesday (June 2nd) afternoon.
