Guys on the VA side have come up this way more than we've headed down that way.
Here's a thought. (If only I had the maps support ... SOON!)
Route 211 over the mountain to Route 11 North to Moreland Gap Road East to Camp Roosevelt Road to Fort Valley Road to 55 East to 340 North to Starbucks.
It was really too bad you couldn't make it. The weather was beautiful and the roads were simply fantastic. We ran into virtually no traffic the entire day. Fort Valley Road in Virginia between New Market and Front Royal was incredible.
