Post 2nd UPDATE... Caravan To 944Fest From North-IN/MI/IL/WI

The 2nd update is at the end of page 2 of this post.................................................................... ........................................................................ .................................... ........................................................................ ........................................................................ .................................... .............................

I live 10 miles from the Indiana border just north on 80/90 (toll-road) which runs right through South Bend/Notre Dame. I will be leaving sometime Saturday to the Fest and will more than likely stay at a local hotel overnight and drive back when things wrap up on Sunday.

I was thinking the IL/WI etc. guys could hook up more West of South Bend (Chicago area) and then us lower MI (southwest) could meet up in South Bend. The two groups (Chicago group & South Bend group) could then meet with...

The lower Southeast MI drivers could then meet us as we take the tollroad (80/90) to the Ohio turn pike (Ohio's word for the 80/90 tollroad) and meet us somewhere near the junction of 80/90 & 75 South.

How's that for starters. This is all off the top of my head as far as the locations and meet-up points go so if they need tweeking, we'll tweek!

Feedback would be good, so let's start the list! And the first person is...

I would join you, but I will be too far south and traveling on Friday to Cinci and caravaning with Perry and the boys on Saturday.

Anybody want to join me from KC on Friday morning, head to Cinci for dinner and fireworks Friday night and then up on Saturday?

Regards,

I want to go in the caravan. It's just too bad that I'm one of the newest residents of Mississippi. Hopefully next year i'll can get some leave time and join in the fun.

You and Luke could meet up with us at a certain time when our group hits hwy 75 near Toledo, since you'll probably go through there also. We could then drive to Mansfield together from the Toledo area.

It's up to you but it sounds like it could work!

Let me know!

We'll Michelle, I thought for sure we'd have more from our way or at least the Chicago area coming but I guess not. Unless people change their minds late.

It looks as if it will be you and whoever your taking with me and my nephew as the only 2 cars going from our direction.

If things still work out for you caravaning, I'll get with you at a closer time to the event as far as exact times and such.

I asked Dan87951 if he and Luke wanted to meet up with us in Toledo or near there but he never responded??? Maybe he missed my message?

Anyway, I'll keep you posted!
