For those of us unfamiliar to the aera can you give directions to the meet-up place?
I added them to the original first post. The place is shut down so I did the best I could. It is very country there, so there really isn't much for landmarks. |

It'll be right across the James River Bridge on the right. There is a gas station right across the bridge, that ain't it. However, just past that is the old "South of the James" convenience store that's closed. If that lot is good we can meet there. If not, just past that is a brand new shopping center. I plan on heading over there in the next few days and checking things out. I'll let y'all know then.
And of course, those not wanting or unable to make the drive over, you can always meet us there.
Dale, the parking lot at "South of the James" has good pavement for a meeting place. I drive by there ever day to and from work. |

Steve is bang on. The parking lot is perfect for our meet up. The lot is about half a mile past the Racetrac gas station. I also did part of the drive and while there isn't anything like the Vineyard Run, there are some nice roads and good scenery. I hope to make a run through the rest of the run to the diner, at least to 460. I'll try to do that Thursday or Friday. The run over the ferry is pretty straight forward, so that isn't a problem. Only down side, Ben & Jerry's in Yorktown closes at 9 on weekends. I'm thinking ice cream ain't happenin'.  BTW, I saw a segment on the VA diner on the Food Network's Drive-in, Diners & Dives over the weekend. I can't wait. |

Dale,
Maybe we could look for an ice cream place in the Williamsburg area for an after dinner treat...... We could maybe make it there before closing depending on the ferry schedule/timing.

I have a run mapped out that's entirely different than my initial route. Google maps looks like it's more fun and I know some of the roads from prior road rallies. So don't forget, South of the James at 4PM, we're off at 4:30. The route should run just over an hour. Maybe an hour twenty. But better twisties and less flat straight sections. And just to keep me outta trouble, I made sure times are the same! Kathy ain't gonna get me again!  |

I won't be able to make this one, either.  Kinda sucks since I suggested going to Va. Diner. Well, at least I will be checking out the scenic mountains of Virginia and West Virginia on my way to the air show in Osh Kosh.  |

I'm going to try to make it, on my own this time. No promises, however. A lot depends on things beyond my control.

Dave and I have a funeral to attend in Williamsburg. I think the timing will be too dangerous to make the run, but we will meet you at the restaurant at 6:30

I think I'm going to bow out of this one. I have a TON of stuff to do, including detailing Tug. He hasn't had a good bath in over a month! I know, I know... I'll be behind the woodshed waiting for my beating...  |
