I am proposing a get together on Skyline Drive (Shenandoah National Park) Saturday October 12th, 2013.
Details are fluid at this point in time. I will update this first post with more details as more reply's and ideas are posted.
Here is the initial plan:
Meet at the Byrd Visitor Center which is located at mile marker 51 on Skyline Drive at 11am for a meet and greet, then head to Big Meadows Lodge for lunch. After lunch we could cruise to Luray Caverns for a cavern tour and look around the shops and cavern area.
Rather than eating at the Big Meadows Lodge, we could also do a picnic at one of the picnic areas located close to Big Meadows where everyone volunteers to bring something needed. I know from previous experience that all of the picnic areas are first come first serve basis. Some are covered, some are not. Being the 1st week of October, it could be quite cool in the morning. If we are planning on doing this, all of the times will slide forward, meeting at the picnic area around 10am so we can get a good (hopefully covered) spot.
Meet at Luray Caverns at 11am. Do a meet and great in the parking lot, then go on the caverns tour. After the caverns tour, if skyline drive is open, we can head back to Skyline drive, hit the Byrd visitor center, then cruise south as a group to ms38w's house for snacks and beverages. If Skyline drive is not open, we can find a place to eat in Luray, hit Wal Mart for some snacks and beverages, then head to MS38w house.
Cost for entrance into Shenandoah National Park is $15/vehicle for a pass that is good for 7 days. An annual pass in also available for $30.
Cost for the caverns tour is $24/adult $12 for children ages 6-12. If we get 20 or more people, we are eligible for group rate of $15.50/adult & $7.50 for children.

If you have an FRS radio, bring it along. We normally use them while we are cruising to keep in touch. I have two of them so I have one I can lend to someone.
