> 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 Since the newsletter for August will not be published  until a few 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.

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.
