I thought we should have a sticky post for folks to let other folks know if they are going and to help hook up some caravans. Please only post if you plan to attend the event.

For those traveling to Nashville on I-40 Eastbound, that convoy info can be found here.

rachael anne :waving:

I'll be there.
A crew will be coming up I-65 from Alabama. Not sure if I will be up there Wednesday or Thursday.

Rachael, sorry to hear that you won't be attending. You can drop-ship the brownies to me and I"ll carry them up and pass them out. I would promise to make some to keep the ritual alive, but I'd probably forget.

chief -- you have mail

Hey Chief,

My family and I will be leaving Wed. a.m.
We might be taking a slightly different route than you, because we'll coming
down from the west side of the state. I'll be pulling a 24' enclosed trailer that has "RENT ME" in big bold letters on the side.

Didn't want you to think that you were the only one from Mi. going.Lol.
Have a Good one!

Brian

Of course we are, unless the world ends between now and then. I'm starting a new job on Monday, need to break the new company in by taking three days off after only four weeks of service. :D

Hey Tom, congrats on the new job!
Beth & I are heading down on sunday the 4th,
looking forward to it!:beers:
p.s. a banjo playing while one recieves the bacon might be just a bit much, don't ya think?:D

Don't know, it will be my first opportunity to receive the bacon...??

I do know that I like bacon and banjo pickin' just never done both at the same time..

I was planning to go but when I got my income taxes done I had to pay Uncle Sam a BIG chunk of money so now I don't know if I'll be able to go.

Whoops, sorry about that! It is a little big, isn't it!

Our caravan will be leaving the Dayton, Ohio area around 8:00 a.m. and meet up at the rest area in Moroe just south of Middletown, Ohio heading south on I-75 around 9:00 a.m.

What day?

Has anything been talked about for Wednesday night? Anyone up for a run to Hooters :D, it's only like 3 miles away!!

Tom,
My son and I are coming in on Tue (that's the plan anyway) night, so we will be there Wed. Also, there is going to be 2-3 different caravans arriving Wed afternoon. Also, that is why I'm no longer cooking burgers and dogs every night, so that I can do some things with other folks. In the past, the cooking kept me tied to the motel parking lot every night, so I couldn't go around and visit and go places. I'm only cooking Fri night this year.

We are heading out Thursday morning from Dayton, Ohio. I thought everyone could read my mind in the earlier post.

Anyone planning to come through or leave Memphis Thursday morning? We'll be heading out around 7 AM

Andy

Andy; As of right now we plan on leaving Olive branch On thursday morning,I will be driving my 70 Chevelle,and my wife will probably follow in her car.

"I thought we should have a sticky post for folks to let other folks know if they are going and to help hook up some caravans. Please only post if you plan to attend the event" / Just wondering, are you going?

Good Loard willing and the creek don't rise,we'll be there only missed 2.The first, and last year don't want to make it a habit.

Leaving Milwaukee WI Wednesday at 5am, 94 south to I-294 tollway, east on I-80 & south on I-65.

Be aware that the I-80 stretch between Chicago and I-65 is a total construction nightmare. You may add two hours to normal rush hour times depending on when you hit it. Jamb up begins about 6 am to 11 am and then again about 1 pm to about 7 pm. Off hour time are slow but steady. Not many alternatives unless you avoid this area completely as the feeder roads are also jambed by people trying to find a way out of the hell. No shoulder to stop for break downs for miles! A gazillion trucks and 10 foot wide lanes.

Take this from personal experience 2 weeks ago - and the project has 2 more years to go.

Exactly the reason I am leaving from a little farther north in Wisconsin tuesday 7:00 pm, to avoid that construction area. I am driving my 92 camaro instead of the chevelle, but even that I worry about sitting too long in traffic and heating up. I figure leaving later tuesday night and I will avoid the major back-up in that area.

Jeff

My Dad and I are leaving on Wednesday at around 6:00am from North Ridgeville, OH (Just West of Cleveland). This will be our fourth CB in a row. Hope to see everyone there.

Our route: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=44039%20to%2037072&btnG=Google+Search&sa=N&tab=wl

We tend to take it slow and easy (Gas ain't a quarter anymore) so we'll probably be pulling in to the ol' Holiday Inn/Baymont around 4-5pm.
