We have a meeting spot in Manassas, VA bright and early (6AM or so) for the MD, VA crew (and others). We usually get out to Staunton around 9-10AM or so. We always have breakfast at Rowe's restaurant before departing for NC. Keep in mind that this group will be made up of folks attending the early day (3/31) so we will gathering in Staunton on 3/30.
