    It's a work in progress. See my build thread.
    So... My wife decided she is coming. So unless you wanna ride in the back of an Access Cab... You'll have to talk shit to someone else.

    I like planning so I started to look into times.
    Loves Travel Stop Strasburg to Harrisonburg about 1 hr
    Just before Harrisonburg to Union Springs rd about 3/4 hr
    US rd to Flagpole about 3 hrs
    Lunch 1 hr
    Flagpole to Briery Branch 1/2 hr
    Flagpole to Switzer lake 1 1/2 hrs
    Either above to Harrisonburg about 3/4 hr
    Harrisonburg to Loves 1 hr
    So the outing to flagpole looks like a 7 to 8 hr day from Strasburg plus individual travel. I have not considered talk, airing down, airing up, getting gas, getting lunch, bathroom breaks, and spotting plus photography.

    So for those that have done it before, do the times seem reasonable?

    I’d say its mostly reasonable. I want to say total time for a day trip to flagpole for me in Arlington is about 12 hours. But we usually take our time so it can definitely be done faster.

    I’d say US to FPK is closer to two hours, 2.5 at MOST, and that’s taking your sweet time.

    though I could see 3 if people want to stop at the few obstacles and play around for a bit

    I don't think it took us any more than that when we went.

    I live in Berryville. It is a full day there and back. Didn't really time anything.

    Thought of this when we got the bill today at Zion Brewing Brew Pub. It is right outside Zion National Park in a town that completely caters to serving the visitors to the park.

    I was shocked we did not get hammered with a “fuck the tourist” meals tax.

    One of the used tire places in Manassas will give you worn out tractor tired, especially if you tell them it's for workouts.

    I will not be going to BJs. Randall purposefully scheduled it when I would be out of town.

    That time I wanted a wrap and it was too expensive. And then I got a good deal. And now I'm scheduling the drop off date for the full wrap I just paid for.....
