Hey folks, don't wait for me at the I95 meet up. I am going to be heading directly to the cookout from home. Will mean I get to sleep an extra hour saturday morning. :-)

Guys here is take at the directions to the ECC (the long way around)

The route:

- I95 to Rt 234 (Exit 152A)

- Head N-West on Rt 234 to Rt 3000 (take a right onto)

- Head N-East on Rt 3000 to “Prince William Parkway” (Take a right onto)

- Head S-E on “Prince William Parkway” to “Yates Ford Road” (Take a left onto)

- Head East on “Yates Ford road” to “Henderson rd” (Take a right onto)

- Head East on “Henderson Rd.” to “Hampton Rd.” (take a right onto)

- Head east on “Hampton Rd. to “Timberidge rd” (Take a left onto) and look for the Pink Flamingos J J

If we head up I95 for another 8 miles to exit 160 we can reduce the total drive by 35-45mins (estimate).

I am not sure how nice the route above is. Maybe the NOVA guys can chime in??? I think the ECC is about 30 mins off I95 if we take exit 160 and has less street changes.

Thoughts??

the part of the route from Yates Ford Rd on to the final site is made up of rural back-road tree lined windy country roads. actually, be careful on those roads and don't get surprised, like coming over a hill and seeing a stop sign 10 feet away. maybe if you knew the turns and curves you could press it but not the first time.

Correct, the 160 exit (Route 123) is the fast way to get there...but the route you picked is a much more entertaining drive. See you all at the final destination, as I'll be coming from Arlington.

So maybe we should do this...

Meet at Fredericksburg (exit 130 - East @ McD's next to Altoona dr.)
We will leave Exit 130 close to 9:30am and head North on I95
We will get off I95 at Exit 160 where we will meet up with a few NOVA guys.
We should arrive exit 160 around 10:00am'ish and leave for the ECC by 10:30

Arrive at the ECC close to 11:00??

How does the above sound?

Please post here if you are planning on going. We need to have a head count so we don't leave someone behind..Because we NEVER leave anyone behind (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

PM me for my cell if you need it.

I'll post the names on Friday so we all have the list (IMG:style_emoticons/default/jsharp.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

And sorry for the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Yates Ford is a fun road. Actually one of my stomping grounds. No surprises, it's well marked. There are a couple of 15mph curves but no over-the-hill stop signs. It's 35mph all the way through.

Beware, it's kinda easy to miss the right hand turn from Old Yates Ford onto Henderson. It's right at the apex of a long sweeping left hand curve. It looks like a "T" on the maps but the stop sign actually splits Henderson Road. If you miss the right turn you'll end up on Henderson Road but going the wrong way.

There's also a 3-way stop on Henderson, turn right to head towards Hampton Road.

I may try to meet you guys at the beginning of Yates Ford if I can, around 10:15am or so.

This is where the turn off from Old Yates Ford to Henderson is, ignore the curly-ques, they're just for effect.

Okay exit 130 is the exit near the Mc Donalds near the mall excuse me the Town Center on Rt 3 now exit 133 is the one at Rt 17 with the Mc Donalds near the old truck stop. I recommend the one on Rt 17 because it will be easier to get in and out of that one.

They might be kind of fun to try in a 914, actually...

drop me, type47, as i will be picking up at vienna metro

i think justin fischer is planning on meeting you, last i read.

yes, yates ford rd and route from there to site would be great to take in a 914, just be cautious, there are some sharp, blind curves. no, there may not be "stop signs just over the hill", but plenty of opportunites to get into trouble.

List updated.

I think we will just head up to Exit 160 and not do the Yates Ford rd. I have been told the drive on Rt123 is very nice too.

Anyone else going to join us?

Rt 123 was nice, before all the development there, but it's better than highway. Granted I've seen 123 from a 1-lane-each-way road from fairfax city to I-95 to it's current state. I guess everywhere has had a lot of change in 20 years though.

Can't wait to get to the house Saturday.
