Travel plans and free (?) time

greatbearOkay, so free time is not something I have much of. Free time for me is like that drawer everyone has in their kitchen that's too small and crammed with junk. Things get rearranged or the kitchen gets remodeled and now a bigger drawer is allocated to be the 'junk drawer' with the assumption that a larger drawer will not get so jam packed. Well, you know the outcome. The drawer will still be stuffed with junk till it's bursting, and there is simply more junk to contend with.
But I digress.
I have something resembling a schedule for the spring-summer which looks like it will be fun and also possiblities might be there to meet up with LJ folk:
Columbus, OH - April 8-10. Jeff has a foodie conference (ACF Northeast) he needs to attend. I'll be tagging along and trying to stir up trouble.
Fontana Village, NC - May 5-8. Mini Coopers at The Tail Of The Dragon! I am SO looking forward to this. I made a lot of new friends and got to drive like a total maniac (okay the last part is nothing new). It's shaping up to be more than 300 freaking cars and their owners and families in attendance. Last year's event was a highlight of my year.
Hillside Campgrounds, Gibson, PA - Bears Weekend 1, June 2-4. Bears Weekend 2, July 7-9. Wrestling/Car Show Weekend, July 21-23, and Bears Weekend 3, August 25-27. No explaining here, Jeff and I like camping, and if we can be surrounded by MEN (edit.), so much the better.
Something That Involves San Antonio, Texas - July 25-August 5. This is a free-for-all for the most part. Jeff has yet another big foodie conference (ACF National Conference) starting the 28th till the 31st. Again, while he's doing his thing, I will be exploring. The days before and after the conference will be used as a road trip to and from SA. Yep, we are driving. It's here that I am asking for suggestions on what to see and do, and who to visit along the way. It will be from MD to TX, roughly 1600 miles the way the crow flies. I am not averse to, in fact I encourage some extra traveling if it means seeing something neat or meeting cool people. This is where I will put it out to LJ. I'll be making more noises to this effect as time goes on, and I am open to any suggestions.
And here I said I have free time? Jeebus.
