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.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
