Good luck capt, I know I shud never care because I still get paid full rate the whole day. But I just don't want to sit downtown all day.

For thur night.

Derf, tommy, trip. You guys want to motel it on the brp? Are there any decent, yet cheap, motels about 6 hours out of little switz? I am open to camping but remember I can't go off roading to do so. Might be a cheaper idea.

I will figure out an exact area later when I'm at home.

I'm planning on camping some of the week prior basically between sunday and when I catch you on the BRP. I think it would be a hard sell for Trip to get him to sleep under the stars again.

I'm planning on camping near Elkins, WV Thurs night, provided I can skip class Friday. It's 9 1/2 hours just for me to get to that spot, so I doubt I'd be able to meet you guys on the BRP. Think you guys would want to stop off in Elkins for the night, then head down to the BRP at the NC border on Friday? Or would that be too far away?

If you follow 81 south along the BRP, it is another 3 hours until the 77 interchange, which is 20 minutes north of the NC border

That would be an extra 2.5 hours for me if I ride the roads I want to in WV, so doubt I'll try to push that far. If I stick to superslab, which I don't really want to do, then I can make it there in 10.5 hours. We'll see when it gets closer to time for the rally.
