On an EPIC roadtrip in the Porsche 911!!
The wifey and I headed out this morning for a week long +, 3,000 mile road trip! We are headed up to the North Carolina mountains to partake in the Blue Ridge Boxster Summit 2015. ( Blue Ridge Boxster Summit 2015 - The Porsche Boxster event not to be missed! ) It's about a 900 mile trip up, then another 900 home, and we figure we will be driving the entire week along the Blue Ridge Parkway and areas for another 1,000 miles or so!
We are very excited! I will update this thread with some pictures and additional info as to what we have been doing on this epic adventure of ours!
So far the trip has been good, and I have been really enjoying driving this scalpel of a driving machine! It's nice to have an adequately powered, lightweight vehicle to drive that has no problem zipping along and passes when necessary...effortlessly! LOVING IT!
Oh, yeah, I got 28.05MPG on the first leg of the trip. Mostly interstate running around 80-82 MPH.
In Savanah, GA for the night and we head out tomorrow morning to get to the cabin in NC.
See ya!
Some pics from today after we arrived at the cabin.
And the neighborhood had some nice flags and things out in some of the garden areas for Memorial Day! Very nice!
Another fantastic day today!!! Weather was awesome, so we got up and got onto the Blue Ridge Parkway and headed up to the top of Mt. Mitchell! Made a few new friends while at the top...a super sweet 1965 911 and a 1957 356 showed up too!
Headed up to the summit and looked around, checked out the views and then back to the Parkway to a town called Spruce Pine for some lunch! Topped off with fuel and cruised the parkway a little more. Back to the cabin for some dinner and a little after-dinner walk, back home, a nice cocktail on the deck...and that's a wrap for today!
Will post up more later on!

I forgot to mention: I coated the glass and paint with Black Label coatings before the trip! I will be seeing how they perform as well!!!

That is a road trip of a lifetime!
I'd rank a trip like that up there with running HW1 from San Diego to British Columbia. Probably better due to more twisty roads and far less traffic!
