4D Footer: Thanks for the tip. I didn't recall much about Romney the last time we rolled through there...but we didn't stop there, so I wasn't sure. Thanks!

93Pirate: Thanks for tip for the Mill Street Grill. That may be the drink/dinner stop on Day 1.

Hey OP, check out this thread from this past July: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...-virginia.html

 

Wife and I don't do the "nightlife" when touring. We might grab a bottle of wine and and a 40 to bring back to the room. With that said, we tend to stay at Hampton Inns when we travel (my company prefers the Hilton chain so I rack up points thru work and use them when vacationing). In Elkins, we always stay at the Hampton - it sits on top of a hill all by itself so safe parking. In Waynesboro, we stay at Hampton and eat at the deli next door. Again, nothing close so feel good parking there. Wish I could help with the nightlife but we're old....

 

Hey all - OP here.

Thank again for the advice/recommendations and links.

We've got plenty of options to consider for our 4-day trip. We're planning overnights in Staunton, VA, and Elkins, WVa (or thereabouts), and Cumberland, MD.

Any suggestions for bars/restaurants and hotels in Cumberland, MD??

Thanks again!

Regards

 

Some thoughts. PM me if you want. I live about 10 minutes east of the 81 Winchester exit, and would be happy to ride for a few hours with you guys if you want.

From 81 I'd go East on 7 to 601 South at the top of the Blue Ridge. Stop at the Bears Den Overlook, pass the TWA flight 514 crash site, go past the use to be secret, but still damn secure and spooky Mt. Weather facility; west on 50, left before the Shenandoah on Rt 638 Howellsville Rd. to Front Royal the back way following the river past White Horse Rock. When you get to Front Royal consider taking 55 South to Fort Valley road. Fort Valley road was built by Daniel Morgan at the order of George Washington as a last ditch defense for the continental army, might want to check out the Woodstock Tower and be cautious around the 5MPH posted turn! Pick up Skyline Drive at Luray (211).

I believe that you meant to say, go WEST on 50 from route 601 to route 638.

 

Just after you turn right on Route 55, stop at the Apple House in Linden for lunch. Good BBQ and other sandwiches. Make sure to try the apple doughnuts!

 

Another good lunch stop is the Big Meadows Wayside at Skyline Drive mile marker 51. Good BBQ, onion rings and blackberry ice cream. It's right in between the gas station and the Big Meadows Visitor Center.

 

Thanks! Fixed it.
