> At our meeting, plans were made for the trip to Swannanoa on Saturday, August 3. Since the newsletter for August will not be published until a few days before the event, we will give you the details now so you can get it on your social calendar. A short history and information on Swannanoa is contained in the July issue of VAIRifiable News (not available at newsstands).  Attached is current and historical information on Swannanoa.  Although it is not as nice now as it was in it's prime, the tour should still be interesting.
>  The plans have changed slightly from the July newsletter.  The plan now calls for the Richmond crew to meet on Rt 250 at Centerville west of Rt 288 and leave promptly 9:30 AM.  The meeting location is the Exxon station on Rt 250 just west of the intersection with Ashland Rd. Those West of Richmond can meet the Richmond convoy at 10:30 AM at the Zions Crossroads Burger King.  The Burger King is near I-64 exit #136 on the right side of the road going south on Rt 15 from I-64. We will convoy up US Rt 250 from Zions Crossroads, jump on I-64 for a short distance to bypass Charlottesville, then back on Rt 250. At VA Rt 151 we'll head south to the Blue Mountain Brewery for lunch at 11:30 AM.  Those traveling from the West will meet in the Waynesboro Target parking lot at 10:45.

> If you imbibe, please ensure you have a designated driver if necessary. After we are fed, Alan White will lead us up Afton Mountain to Swannanoa. The fee for the Swannanoa tour is $6 per person.
> We need to know who plans to go for restaurant seating purposes and so we don't leave someone behind at one of the rendezvous points. For those going on the tour, contact Wade Lanning at WBLanning at comcast.net or 804-586-1023 so we can get a preliminary headcount.

> Make sure you have gas in your tank, air in your tires and that your Corvair has good brakes for the mountains.
