[T2] 3rd annual father son trip

[accessys at smart.net]

the climb up to the skyline drive at front royal is a bus killer.  BTDT. 
take it easy and do it during cool part of day

also route 50 West of Winchester VA is also a real engine killer.  done 
both in dead of winter and overheated.. and that was with a good running 
2liter engine

route 33 or even 211 is a much easier climb.
