I would need to know the cost before I committed to it, but I'd be interested.
I have a horrible idea.
- Thread starter Raising Heel
- Start date
Shameless bump. Updated the OP with a list and map of all the suggestions so far. Pretty good list, keep 'em coming.
Trip centered around college baseball:
- Saturday, April 29th, Carolina hosts Clemson. Stay the night at the Carolina Inn because why not? It's a vacation (rooms are available as of this poasting)
- Sunday, April 30th, drive 3.5ish hours to Norfolk, VA to watch Old Dominion host Marshall at 1:00 p.m. (Pic of stadium)
- Monday, May 1st -- non-baseball day. Use your outdoorsy knowledge to concoct a day-time kayak / boating / hiking activity in the Virginia Beach area or even that little area of Maryland right there... Cape Charles or Chinocoteague Island. I don't know about that type of stuff, but I'm sure you could plan something in terms of camping and what not.
- Tuesday, May 2nd, drive ~3hrs to Charlottesville to watch the Wahoos host the Liberty University Fightin' GSDs at Davenport Stadium
- Wednesday May 3rd and Thursday May 4th -- non-baseball days. Basically I can't find anyone (looked at UNCA, Radford, VT, WVU, Georgetown) in that area that plays on the 3rd or the 4th. Plan any type of stuff you want, be it going over the the Blacksburg area and doing mountainy shit, or staying near the coast, just eventually work your way toward either....
- Friday, May 5th, Georgetown has a home game in D.C., UNC-Asheville (stadium is hard to find on google images) hosts Radford, or West Virginia hosts Texas Tech
^^ if you choose Georgetown, obviously you can spend the 3rd and 4th doing all the D.C. sightseeing. If you choose UNC-A or West Virginia, you can hit a slew of outdoorsy stuff on the way.
- Saturday, May 6th, all three of those listed above have another game on Saturday I believe, or you can then start the trek home. OR you can end the baseball venture back with Wake Forest hosting BC on the 5th, 6th, and 7th. Winston would be a nice stopping point from the Blacksburg / WVU area back to Charlotte.
Just an idea. You better put this fuggin idea on your list on the OP because I took 30 minutes to google all that shit, friend.

What would he do for the latter half of the week though?
Great country and a beautiful river to float....the only issue is that April/May is rainy season. If it doesn't rain then you are golden...warm days chilly nights..if it rains then the potential of flooding is always there! Not far from the Buffalo is the White River....a larger river that flows out of a lake....cold clear water, great trout fishing if you are into that! Also makes for a great float trip.
On a side note..if you did come to the Buffalo you def need to make a side trip thru Bentonville AR. Even if you are not into art, you still need to roll by Crystal Bridges Art Museum. http://crystalbridges.org Incredible collection of Art that was built by Alice Walton, daughter of Sam.
Do you think Kentucky cops just hang out on the "Bourbon Trail" and get their yearly DUI quotas knocked out in the first week of the year?
Where is @Raising Heel ? Is he camping and kayaking already? I wanted to tell him to forget all that and go sailing in the Caribbean. Btw, you can kayak or paddle board or swim or whatever from a boat. Jus' sayin'.
First off, kudos for creativity. This is a really cool idea.
That time of year, the weather is probably gonna be pretty damn nice for sitting outside. Warm days with cold nights. My concern is how interested I'll be in games without a rooting interest (is this why you sickos gamble on everything?). Not sure I love the sport of baseball enough to truly appreciate a game between two random college teams. Sure would help if colleges could serve beer. Still, this trip would offer a nice blend of city, outdoors, and sports activities. It's definitely going on the list. Guess I'll leave that up for a little longer.
Yes. Georgia State's bball team is like my "other" team now, because gambling.
I knew, in spite of everything else mentioned in my poast, that this would be the part you responded to.
Get help.
The rest of your poast made it seem like you're pretty bonered out over my idea, so I felt like nothing more needed to be said.
I respectfully request that you cease and desist any and all discussions of my man business. Thanks in advance.
Well ya. I'd have no interest in a bunch of old celebs dying if I didn't have a little coin on it.
