    Got to drive down to Lovingston, VA on Wednesday. I hope the weather cooperates. I have to get wife's aunt and drive her back here so she can help care for my MIL who is pretty sick.

    Thanks guys. MIL has something that local docs can't diagnose. FIL has to get her into NYC to get more knowledgable docs involved. Drive is about 8 hrs. Normally.

    Actually this stretch is called The blue ridge parkway.
    No I'm wrong it is the Skyline Drive
