Hi Jim
Planning seems to be moving quickly down your way. Well done !
In answer to some of your questions
The route on the website is a starting point only. Actual route to be
selected by SC and his committee. Only parameters are days in sector, and
start and end points (and reasonably leisurely driving). Let me know your
changes to the route and Ill redo the map.
Recommendations for the hotel are also up to the SC and his committee, but
Kim Preiss (the Tour Accommodations Coordinator) has arranged some good
rates in your area that would make sense to go with. Kims e-mail is
Kim_Preiss@dgochi.com.
Im not sure if you have had a change to go over the Co-ordinators guide,
but it has some items that might be useful in your planning process.

Hopefully that covers it if not let me know.

JONAT Schedule in the Carolinas Sector:
Thursday night, July 1, Richmond
Friday night, July 2, Raleigh
Saturday night, July 3, Charlotte
This is to help paste us together as our leaders are encouraging us to
do. I do confess I am confused. After working several trip alternatives
for the tour a totally different route is posted on the web site. Guess we
only work here.
Brad asked for David Harrison's contact info which is above. Feel free
to work out plans for Richmond without my input since David can do it much
better.
Brad wrote Tuesday night that he plans to deliver the group from
Washington to Richmond about 8:30-8:45 Thurs night, July 1 per the Jonat
schedule. This later hour to avoid DC rush hour traffic. Landing hopefully
downtown at a hotel as yet undetermined but hopefully known by Thursday
night. I'll let Brad and David work out whether the group will have eaten
by then or will have the energy to do so.
The late hour Thurs night suggests that my Friday plan should change.
Friday morning could be for seeing Richmond sites. Then, as David H
suggests, could go to Petersburg area for lunch at a British pub, the
Brickhouse Run and visit to Tom Ashbarry's Jaguar restoration shop and
British car graveyard. Petersburg Nat'l Battle Ground if time allows. Then
the 120 mile run to Raleigh. That sounds like a good day to me.
Brad asked about an alternative of going to Charlottesville Thurs. night
for hand off and overnight. That would be about 70 miles each way for David
coming from Richmond. Maybe there is another VaJC member in Charlottesville
that could meet the group. David?
More importantly, it suggests a change to the itinerary. If Jonat goes
to Charlottesville I'd suggest Friday am and probably lunch at Monticello
(Can't imagine missing it), and then either A) Xway 60 miles to Richmond,
limited (3 hrs) sightseeing and then Xway 150 miles to Raleigh, OR B)
secondary roads from Charlottesville to Appomattox Court House and then on
the Raleigh. The latter would be a pretty drive but miss Richmond. Who is
supposed to decide? Assuming David H. will drive to Charlottesville or has
a member there who will meet the group I'm indifferent. And whether the
group picks A or B above is totally manageable.
Greg or Bob - The Carolina Sector map on the web ends Saturday night in
Charlotte on a block with no hotel that I can tell. Has a hotel been
picked? Who is supposed to pick the hotel and tell the system?
My original proposal for the Carolinas Sector is attached in case you
don't have it. No changes since last transmittal.
