St. Jude Donor '07-'08
Thanks for putting this event together. I participated (somewhat) the past two years with a GTO, decided to join the vette group, the GTO has been sold and an 08 coupe is on order. Cannot wait until the fall cruise, where ever it might be. Maybe after meeting up at Front Royal, the group can cruise south and enter the drive at the Rt 33 intersection. I believe there are several wineries in this area that could be stopped at before or in place of the Skyline drive. However, I do not know how large of a group they could accommodate.
We are indeed looking at any and all alternatives, and your input is very much appreciated! Welcome aboard, and I can't wait to see the 08!

I applaud yours and others efforts to organize and facilitate these Skyline Drive cruises. I know it's a lot of work and not much reward except for the money we raise for the various charities.
However, I honestly think it's time for a change. Change in location, change in routine......something! I know that's an easy challenge to make and not an easy one to solve. But I have gone on 4 cruises in 3 years and there isn't really much in the way of variety with these trips.
I realize there is only so much you can do on Skyline Drive and that road never changes (Thank God!) but it sure would be interesting to do something besides go to Stony Man and take a picture and then go to lunch somewhere (I have 4 Stony Man pictures and I can't tell any of them apart). I really did enjoy the one year (cant recall which) where we started the cruise with a little parade thru "downtown" Front Royal with a police escort. That was ! Kind of reminded me of Carlisle
I don't have any answers at the moment, but maybe we can get the collective creative juices flowing and think "outside the box" as the saying goes. Maybe it's just me, but I was talking with someone Saturday at Stony Man about Carlisle and he said he wasn't going this year because it's become the same thing every year. I had to agree with him!
Anyway, great job and great turn out
