Skyline Drive is closed today due to snow and ice.  It should be warm enough 
tomorrow to melt everything, but there is another system due to hit on 
Saturday.  If that system closes Skyline Drive, I will have to modify my rover 
route.  It will not be a huge change, but will prevent any decent views to the 
West and North West.  

Alternate plan B:

Start at parking lot of abandoned hotel on Route 17, near Winchester VA in 
FM09xb.  Spend a few minutes to gather a few QSOs and move to Chester Gap in 
FM08wu.  This spot is at 2000 ft with good East, North East and South East 
views.  It will take 30 to 50 minutes to get to this spot and I'll stay until 
5:00 or until I stop getting new QSOs.  I'll then be back on my previous 
schedule with the drive to VA Beach via Charlottesville.
