There was mention of a possible meeting spot closer to Atlanta for us all drive north together. Is this going to happen? Where?
There is a Starbucks on the East side of exit 13 off 400 that would serve the purpose. I met the Ferrari boys there last month.

From there, it's about another 30 minutes or so to Slack's Auto in Dahlonega.

If we choose to rendezvous there around 7:45-8:15, I'd recommend we set a departure time of no later than 8:30 so that we can be at Slack's by 9:00, as Terry suggests.

We could meet at exit 10 off of GA 400. Old Milton Pkwy. Exit right go 1/4 mile and turn right into the Burger King/Gas Station Lot at the first stop light. 8am gives us about an hour up to Slack's in Dahlonega (only about 40 minutes from the start).

Sorry Ed, you and I posted about same time. Either works for me.

Well, Burger King sure fits my budget better these days, ha ha!

Whatever you all want to do. Since I hit 400 at Holcomb Bridge, that exit or any exit north of that works fine for me.

In true Starbucks fashion there is one on Both sides of 400.

we will meet on the EAST side. Get off and it will be on your left about 1/8 mile in the new shopping center. Look for the P-Cars

Thanks for pointing that out, Dave. There are so many Starbucks around, I think there's even one in my sock drawer upstairs.

But seriously, folks...I tried calling that store to make sure there won't be any funky New Year's Eve hours that would hinder our plans, but no one picked up. Let me try again...OK, they'll be open when we need them to be. We're cool.

I've also just found this link from Pelican. Any objections to another 997 joining? See you all at Starbucks off 400...

Lads,

I'll be joining you in Dahlonega Wednesday morning, as I will be embarking from Blue Ridge instead of Marietta - we're off to the cabin for a short trip before New Year's Eve.

Terry, I'll come find you at the Denny's around 8, right?
