Monticello Mountain Romp - November 17
It's time for the second First Annual Monticello Mountain drive, hike around THE University of VA (if we can find enough spaces to park) and BBQ at Jinx's Pit's Top BBQ drive (I couldn't make that name up if I wanted to).

Mark November 17th for the second Monticello Mountain Romp in beautiful Charlottesville, VA. We pass TJ's house, drive some really nice twisty back roads, see lots of colorful scenery and say goodbye to Summer and hello to Fall. This will be a mildly spirited drive but nothing that a new owner can't handle. The drive should be around 2.5 hours. We'll go by Monticello, the University of Virginia, Kluge Estate (A great vineyard. I'm trying to make arrangements for a tour) for some fine wines (and maybe a taste or two), and then go for a late lunch/early dinner at Jinx's Pit's Top BBQ with (maybe the most eccentric owner you've ever met) some of the best BBQ you've ever eaten.

We'll get a special rate at the Holiday Inn in the shadow of Tom Jefferson's house at 10 rooms. I'm thinking about adding a second drive on Sunday or lengthing the Saturday drive to include the Blue Ridge and some really fine twisty roads. Stay tuned for more hotel and drive information.
