So a few friends and I are going to be taking a trip to D.C. in a few weeks and just stopping at various places along the way to enjoy the journey. We're going to be going from Asheville(ish) to there. It would be cool if anyone just popped in any suggestions about things to see along the way, we haven't mapped out the trip yet, and I wanted to get some suggestions

So I got 480 miles running through the worst parts of NC or 471 using I81. I suggest both. Run through NC to get to DC and then on the way back kick it down 81 because there is nothing to see, no slow downs, and you can make some serious time even if you're restricted to that silly east coast 65 mph

stop in richmond and go inside that old ass victorian-looking tower that sits on 95 driving through downtown. i've always wondered what it is and i've never bothered to look it up.

From the richmond virginia wiki its a bb&t bank building that was built in 1913 says its located downtown.. that sound about right?

We were going to do this. 2 different ways, you get to see twice as much.

There's a crazy castle in Asheville than you can see from 240 right as you go through the Beaucatcher slice. At some point I want to go check that out, but it's private property.

That's Seely Castle or Overlook Castle. It was built by EW Grove's son-in-law (same guy that built Grove Park Inn and Grove Arcade). UNCA held classes there back in the 50's. There's some interesting history (beyond Wikipedia) here

81 sucks.  Couple of suggestions stop at Appomattox Courthouse. Also stop by Charlottesville and see Monticello.  Then hope on 95 stop by colonial Williamsburg and Yorktown. After that stop by Petersburg and then hit Mt Vernon.

I see you still don't pay attention. 81 is suggested for the trip back because there's nothing to see or slow down your trip back.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
