Your probably thinking about the LEO event. Atwell told us it was Nov 15.

I am going to try to make this event, but I am working a night shift on Friday so I may be too wiped out to do so. We'll see.

kestrel74 · 10-15-2009, 04:39 AM

Alan: you need to check out that road in post # 8 ....it's not that far from you... guaranteed it's worth the 1/2 hour drive....it's the tail of the dragon North.

MikeinAlexandria · 10-15-2009, 07:11 AM

I am going to try and make it up for this. Looks like fun. My Elise is in winter trim, hard top installed! Aside from the scratched up hood, it actually looks pretty good. I'll clean it just before the drive as well. Fun!

MikeinAlexandria · 10-18-2009, 05:34 PM

Anyone have the position of the GAP diner? (Ie, latitude and longitude) I can't find it in Garmin, and the streets don't seem to exist as just numbers. Trying to see if this is a doable drive from the DC area in one day.

lotus69f2 · 10-18-2009, 06:57 PM

The link to the bridge tou says it starts at Rt 30 and Belmont Rd

BruceB · 10-19-2009, 03:59 AM

The street names for the location of the Gap Diner at Route 30 and Route 41 are Lincoln Highway and Newport Pike.

All the PALS-

Alas, my regrets as I must be in Erie, PA for a CME program. I hope that you have some fine Indian summer weather, unlike the weekend we just went through that looked like early winter. Haven't been to Bube's for a while, but food and drink are usually outstanding. Enjoy!

Tony V says that PA Rt 414 (about 10 miles south of Wellsboro, PA) is the Tail of the Dragon North.

I say: someday we drive both roads in ONE DAY and compare!!!!!
