So how about a 'Great Loop Rally'. Start and finish at the same locale to store trailers, but 1-2 nights on the road?

the Dragon is fun, however it really is in the middle of nowhere. In September we stayed in Maggie's Valley and then drove the 2-3 hours to get to the dragon. It is something you want to get to early in the AM before it fills up with zoom splats. The drive to the dragon has LOTS of twists and turns as well. There is a cool motorcycle museum. I have not stayed at the Peaks of Otter. I know Bedford has the D-Day museum. Currently the parkway is closed for repairs right around the Roanoke area. We could certainly scope out things near there this spring. Up near Skyland there is a cool single malt distillery in Sperryville and a very nice Winery near Huntly. I am planning on being retired late April, BUT I imagine I will expected at the residents graduation which will be either around June 12 or 19. https://youtu.be/k9R4C7sRZ-g

We do have 3 acres in Riner, VA, so plenty of trailer room

I have obligations June 11-13 and 27-3/July. How about the Wed-Sun, June 2-5 or even mid-May+? Personally, I'm happy to try the venue we created for '19 and am fine with Skyline. There's a lot to do in that area well within a 2-hr drive window.

Just Googled it. Near Marlington WV. We were there a couple or years ago with a group of old gold wings. There is a REALLY cool state park with a Shae locomotive excursion just north of there. I posted pictures a couple of years ago, http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthread...true/a-visit-to-west-virginia#Post591885also the "Back of the dragon" in SW VA http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthread...f-the-dragon-near-tazewell-va#Post641611pictures from two years ago http://www.talkmorgan.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/581750/Searchpage/1/Main/36751/Words/%2Bshenandoah/Search/true/shenandoah-annus-primus#Post581750

I live in West Tennessee. Bought Will Freeman's car used for the 48 state ride. Would like to make the ride but it will depend on the dates. I'm a contract inspector and if I have accepted a job I can't get time off until it is finished.

I'm trying to get through to the Shenandoah' Group Sales department (866.232.2922) to reserve 15 rooms at Skyline or June 2-5 (4 nights). No luck yet. They were very accommodating the last time. Once contact is made, I'll provide an update of room and firm date options.
