Just skip skyline and jump onto the BRP at the start on Afton mountain to head south.

I did the entire VA section of the BRP down and back up one weekend a few yrs ago.. Sure there is some fun turns but the 45mph is a killer.. A speeding ticket is also a federal ticket if your caught. They do park and shoot radar in some areas.

I mainly just use the BRP to get to and from other great roads to play on.

I would end up on 81 heading south. So what's the difference. I honestly don't care if it's 45. Nice leisurely pace, enjoy the scenery, and take some pics.

What's the difference between a normal speeding ticket and a federal speeding ticket?

And I wonder how it works with CWP?

When we went in october we hit tons of traffic, I expect that mid september will be pretty empty, also avoiding the natural bridge (cool roads in the area though) and lack of traffic we should be able to do much more of the brp on the first day

How much time to go from front royal to the brp? Looks like 100 miles...

so if true... about 3 hours... so that is fine...

and it looks as of 18 months ago... right to carry in all national parks was recognized, as long as the state recognizes our cwp, which they do.

Federal ticket = $500+ fine with a mandatory court visit, no mail in the check. You don't want a federal ticket. The Rangers can also write state tickets if they want to be nice, if they just want to fuck you they will give you a federal ticket.

As far as the CWP, you might want to check out if they are a must reveal right away thing like Ohio. North Carolina is a must tell them as soon as reasonable state.

Plus like I told you in the PM the skyline should take you 5 hours if you follow the speed limit. i was doubling the speed limit on average down the skyline and it took 3 hours-ish. The skyline is truly just not worth the trouble.

Follow I81 down to waynesboro an extra 70 miles save yourself the hastle of dealing with the skyway and start fresh on the BRP. if you avoid the natural bridge and other distractions you can easily make it to the VA/NC border with plenty of time to spare. hell if you push it a little acording to google maps you can start early enough and hit little swiss in 9-10 hours on the BRP.

The problem with the BRP is sometimes you may need to go way off the road to get gas. Remember, there is NO gas on the road itself. You have to get off the BRP to get gas.
