Day 1
The first leg of the trip, from Grantham to Front Royal, is half divided highway and half secondary roads. The stretch from Leesburg, VA to Whitepost VA is especially. If you have the time, check out Harper's Ferry, VA and take a walk back in time at Dinosaur Land in White Post, VA - you'll feel like you've gone back 50 years in time, if not more!
8:30 am - 125.0 miles / 2 hours 22 minutes - 10:54 am
Skyline Drive is a wonderful ride through the mountains of VA. Plenty of sweeping curves and many beautiful lookouts, numerous trails, etc. Not many places to gas up, so it's important to fill up before you get on the parkway. Once there, about the only option available is at Big Meadows (and, depending on how busy things are, you may end up waiting a while to get gas).
11:54 am - 162.5 miles / 4 hours 13 minutes - 4:11 pm
This 50's themed restaurant has a great family feel. The food's pretty decent, too!
5:11 pm - 1.0 miles / 2 minutes - 5:14 pm
Day 2
Nothing fancy. An old Mom & Pop motel that's clean and in a convenient location.
8:30 am - 3.3 miles / 4 minutes - 8:35 am
A sacred site for Indians surveyed by George Washington and owned by both King George III and Thomas Jefferson
9:05 am - 133.2 miles / 2 hours 55 minutes - 12:03 pm
Seneca Rocks, WV, United States
Seneca Rocks is a unique rock outcropping in West Virginia. As you travel through the valley on your way to Seneca Rocks, you sill see a number os similar ridges but none so pronounced as Seneca Rocks. There is a very nice Park Visitor's Station with ample parking. If you have an opportunity (and it's not too crowded), be sure to stop and check out the establishments across the road from the visitor's center.
12:33 pm - 33.8 miles / 48 minutes - 1:23 pm
Day 3
Another Mom & Pop motel. The family that owns it was very accommodating. If you like BBQ, there is a BBQ joint within easy walking distance just north of the motel.
9:00 am - 79.9 miles / an hour 50 minutes - 10:51 am
One of my favorite places to eat when I travel through the area. However, I recently heard that the family who owns it is planning to relocate in 2017 so I don't know if the restaurant will continue or whether it will be as good as it is now.
