I'm actually considering attending the Black Forest Star Party at Cherry Springs this September. Having never observed outside of a white zone I'm wondering what I can expect? ... I really would like to see the Milky Way one time in my life ...

By all means go to Black Forest! But you don't need to drive 6 hours to see the Milky Way. One hour should get you a decent view, and a three-hour drive will get you a subperb view.
