What, When & Where!

What, When & Where!
Just a heads up on the workings for an event for the last part of June 2008.
Like in the old days of wagon trains, I'd like to take a small adventure and traverse the ENTIRE Blue Ridge Parkway.
The plan at this time is to take 4 days and see the entire BRP. We start in Greensboro on a Thursday around noon and head to Waynesboro, Va which is the beginning of the BRP. Friday morning start down and end up near the NC/VA border and stay the night. Saturday morning see the bottom half and end up near the Georgia border. Sunday head home via I-40 east.
The plan is to take it slow and see the sights along the way.
This info is just the start of an adventure that I hope a lot of you will enjoy.
Post your questions now and I'll try to answer them all.
The schedule at this point is: June 19-22, 2008
Thursday drive to Waynesboro, Va
Friday Drive to mile marker 241 near Sparta, NC
Saturday drive to Asheville, NC
Sunday have a group breakfast, then head to Cherokee, NC and the end of the BRP.

HI,
My wife and I live along the Parkway near Roanoke VA. If my Cooper is here in time I'd love to join the drive at Roanoke Friday. The ETA of my Pepper White/Black is mid April, so I should be ready for motoring by then. Any recommendations on lodging for Sparta or Asheville?
Hope to make it.

Be aware, there are several sections of the parkway closed. Primarily the part between Mt. Mitchell and Elk Mtn. Road (east asheville) due to a rock slide.
