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.

      Draft expectations vs reality

      Your thoughts? I don't think the trade up or even down value system stays exactly in place this year. Look at all the bad trades that hurt teams that give away too much (49ers for Lance, even us w/the Bears set us back). What trade up except Mahomes/KC was it really a great trade for the team giving up a lot? Same with trading down. Teams will know you don't want to pick and they won't be giving the store to move up because there is not a generational talent to do that for. Now, I believe these possibilities.  The Giants probably won't take QB-Sanders at 3, it's too much pressure if it doesn't work. They don't really need another edge rusher with Carter. I can see them possibly saving face, trade down to even the Panthers at 8 but not asking for a kings ransom. A 1st round swap, a 3rd and 4th and maybe next years 2nd and 4th could be enough without giving up too much. The Giants save in pay and in public opinion and then they can take Sanders or even another QB. For the Panthers to drop down, it has to mean their top 3 picks are not there. Do they take TE-Warren if he drops in their lap at 8 (I do like that)? I believe they would love to drop back but again I don't think teams will pay a lot to move up unless they want a QB before the Saints (our only hope for a good value).  I'm not picking a player, just thinking of the draft in general and value. Reaching doesn't work and more and more teams are realizing that.

      With the new DL, we should be better at edge by simple addition.   What player would have the biggest impact on the Panthers?  I still see the plan to trade back and take Emmanwori if we can find a trade partner.  Why, you ask?  S is a huge need and they have really only looked at 1 visits/meetings.  We will try to trade up for Princely in the second.  A WR in the third  (Bech or Noel).
