Attendees from Northern Virginia w/driving directions

Et All,
If you desire to roll in convoy to the event departing NOVA on Friday morning then sign up here. I will be posting link-up and departure time in the near future once I do the route planning, establish a timeline etc.
If you are driving your rig and get less than 10-11 mpg, then let me know so I can properly figure out the fuel stops, etc.
If you do not have a CB or FMRS "Talk About" then I can provide you one with fresh batteries to use but you are required to supply additional batteries.
If you plan to camp, please bring a bundle of wood for the fire pit. I am unsure if any wood is available there so be a Boy Scout and be prepared.

Link-up and departure time:
The link-up location is the Kingstown BP Gas Station at 6700 S Van Dorn St, Alexandria, VA 22315
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...158.203125&z=3 this will allow for fuel, food, coffee and a bathroom before we start.
Departure time: 24 1130 APR 09 (at 1133 GPS Time we depart, so plan accordingly and arrive prior to departure time)

Google Earth calculated the driving time at 3 hours. Giving fuel and bathroom stops the real planning time will be more like 4 hours. This will get us up there and allow us to set up camp while it is still light.

Cheers!
