Skyline drive will have the leaf watchers out.

You want to take: 29N to 234 through Madison/to Sperryville, Then 211 to route 522 N, then make a right on route 647 (this is one of the best roads ever.) to route 55, then make a right and go about 6 miles and make a left on route 709 to rt 50. then go right for about 30 miles to route 66. then 66 east to Falls Church. You will not regrete this...

Thanks a bunch everyone! I was hoping that since it's during the day on Fri. (and considering the fall colors aren't great this year), that the leaf watchers would be at a minimum. I've never done the Skyline Dr. but figure that it's similar to the Blue Ridge Pkwy (i.e. senic, but filled w/ slow leaf watchers and radar), so I'm interested in the route above. I'm confused however, when I look at maps.google. I can't locate Sperryville using a search, and 29N seems to fork north of Madison. I see a 29N/231 (to the left), and a 29N/634 which bears off to the right...which one is correct? I'm so confused ....I can't locate a lot of these routes (234, Sperryville, 647, etc.) as they seem to have "name's" on google. Can someone confirm that the routes listed above, or point me to a better map online? Steve, my g/f and I are going to see our favorite band at the Starr Hill in C'ville on Thur. and then leisurely driving over for more of the same in Falls Church Fri. night. Just a weekend getaway...and an opportunity for a nice drive Thanks again for all the suggetions!
