Opening Entry

Monacos in Motion is planning a 21-day caravan through the Shenandoah Valley of West Virginia and Virginia from August 10 through August 30, 2016.  The caravan consists of twelve motor coaches led by Wilt, Barbara, Ed, and Connie.  Participants in the caravan come from Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Kansas, California, Arizona, and Ohio. 

An except from the leaders’ handout describes this caravan as a “… trip through one of the most scenic and historic areas in the country.  You’ll experience beautiful mountain and river scenery, and take a drive through history, from Colonial days through the period after the Civil War.  As we travel, we’ll try to offer an overview of the area and a sampling of its many different types of attractions.”

During this trip we will park our motor coaches for 3 to 5 days at five campgrounds in:
  • ·      Harpers Ferry, WV
  • ·      Luray, VA
  • ·      Staunton, VA
  • ·      Natural Bridge, VA
  • ·      Galax, VA

While at each campground, we will make day trips explore the local area.

For anyone not familiar with Monacos in Motion, it is an RV club comprised of motor coaches manufactured by Monaco Coach (a subsidiary of REV Group, Inc.) [http://www.monacocoach.com].  The club is a chapter of FMCA, (http://www.fmca.com).
