Hey Rich! I sure hope you can make it! I'll be coming down from
Point/Plover... I'd like to organize a westbound caravan. Josh, Mike,
Barry, you, me... and anyone else from all points east.
Perhaps we could all meet up in one appointed area? Only person I can
think of who would have to go out of his way to do that would be Barry.
15 hours is an iffy time estimate from MapQuirks... also build in time
for fuel ups, food, traffic, and construction. It takes me about 12
hours to do 800 miles to Jon's from Point... granted I usually get
cought up in Chicago/Gary traffic.
But I think traveling in a convy has many advantages. Incase of any
mechanical trouble, there are people to help. It really makes a long
drive like that more fun, between CB's and FRS radios there is always
conversation. Not to mention a rolling line of trucks is just really
cool :D
