October drive

This year's Fall Leaves Tour 2013 is in the works. A must trip consist of a drive to Canaan Valley to take in some of the most wonderful sights ever! Of course a stop in Thomas/Davis will be on the schedule for some good food, times, friends and even a concert.
Our trip planner has the first weekend taken with some activities so I'm thinking the middle of October will be in order.
We are working on the details but for sure plan on a FULL day of driving and fun, fun, fun.
Visit this post often for updates. There could be an overnight stay even should we elect that part of our plans.

Hey, thanks for checking us out. Our fall drive is October 12 and will include a trip to Canaan Valley and the sights in that area.

Won't be able to make the Oct. drive. Will be on the Fall Colors Run with HRCM in Waynesboro, VA. One of these days, this will work out.
