why not just drive the entire length of skyline? I've driven the entire length several times. It's pretty nice to see how the road changes drastically.

Traveling from Front Royal south, Skyland is a good place to eat. Drivers who would like to end the cruise then can backtrack a few miles and exit at Thornton Gap. The drive south from Skyland to the next exit (Swift Run Gap) is pretty long.

David,
Can you give us an idea of how long the drive is (time wise) from Front Royal to Skyland, and from Skyland to Swift Run Gap?

To give you a general idea, you can double the mile marker, and that will be the minutes driving. So Skyland is at mile marker 42 x 2 = 84 minutes. Skyland to Swift Run Gap exit is another 24 miles or 48 minutes.

Meeting Location: McDonald's, 10730 ***** Ford Rd, Manassas, VA. Take 66W to Exit 47A. Make a left at the second light. Map the address just in case. There's a gas station right next to McD's so people can fill up before we leave. Try to get there by 10:30AM so we can hand out directions and gas up.

Again, if you've driven Skyline before, please chime in with suggestions on an ending point and places to stop for photo ops. Thanks!

Can some of my S2000 friends come?
