Moss-

Hey just quick question, do you know what the exit numbers for SR-76 (VA-150/US60/US360/Powhite Parkway ) and SR150 (Chippingham Parkway) are? And not that I'm doubting your directions at all, but do you have an address of this park? Always like to have a mapquest set of directions along with me

thanks

lookin forward to seeing everyone next saturday!

Thanks guys, I'm sure ill be able to find it. I'm gonna be coming down from Northern VA (Alexandria to be exact ), with maybe 3-5 other Z owners from this area, and maybe a few from MD. So it should definitely be fun.

See everyone next weekend

If you guys ever do something local (i.e. less than an hour drive) please post it in the regional section. I am considering a Z but have yet to sit in one or talk to an owner. Wondering whether the extra 67 horses are worth the better interior, fit and awd of my current car.

Default Um...

Did anyone look at Import Xpressions calender? There is a huge car show in PA, about 2.5 hours from DC!!

I'm going up there.. I know it's a lot, but you guys should change plans to meet mid/north VA and drive up to PA to IX's show! Tons of imports, girls, and best of all, you can smoke all the ricers going to the show also.

Just a suggestion though.

I have no clue if mine plans on coming or not. She'll decide about 5 minutes before it's time to leave, then spend an hour getting ready.

We're guessing it will be around 12-15.

The park that we are going to be at has picnic tables an BBQ grills, so if people want to cook out, there's space to do it. There's also a grocery store almost across the street, so if we decide to do something on the spur of the moment, it will be easy to get supplies.

Default Re: Directions to Rockwood Park, for 8/16 Z meet

Everyone-
I noticed a typo in the directions, so I've made the changes below in RED.

There's several parking lots throughout the park, but we're going to try to setup in a shaded lot near the rear of the park. When you come into the park, the road basically is a loop around the entire park. We'll try to be in a small lot near the rear of the park. If you don't see us, keep driving around because depending on how crowded the park is when we get there, we might have to adjust our plans. See you Saturday.

Also, there is also an entrance into the park directly from Hull Street, justbefore you come to Courthouse. The entrance (turn right) is very easy to miss, so if you miss it, turn RIGHT onto Courthouse, and then turn right into the park.

From the West, take I-64 East to I-95 and follow directions above.

From the East: Take I64 west to I-95 South.Get off on the Chippingham Parkway exit. Go to the Hull Street exit (West towards Amelia) go 4.5 miles on Hull street. When you get to Courthouse road, turn RIGHT. At the first light, turn RIGHT into Rockwood Park.
