I've edited this post to reflect current info!!!

**********************************
People meeting in Columbus:

The Cracker Barrel
4210 Marlane Drive
Grove City OH 43123-2969
(614) 871-1444

If you want to eat breakfast there, that means you need to get there by 5:45 - 6:00 AM. If you do not wish to eat breakfast there, please arrive by 6:45 AM. We will depart at 7:00 AM and get down to the Hooter's of Newport, gas up, then meet the rest of the gang around 9:00 AM.
***********************************

The entire group will be meeting and leaving from/at:

Hooters in northern KY (right across the river from Cincy)
Friday (4/16) 9:00am

***********************************

People joining us for the drive down:

01 Lovetodrive2000, Cincinnati
02 Hiro, Cincinnati
03 Westsidebilly, Ft. Wayne
04 Looter, Cincinnati
05 Dale, Northern KY
06 Strangedaze, Columbus
07 ROGUE3308, Lewis Center
08 MrClean, Dublin
09 David1, New Albany
10 mcquarrieg, Cleveland
11 Saab9-3, Cincinnati
12 Popeye, Delaware

It'd be good for everyone to have an FRS radio (with subchannels) to keep communication up.

It'd be ideal for everyone to be on a full tank and a freshly emptied bladder.

It is about 170 miles (2 1/2 hours) to where Westsidebilly plans on seperating from I-75 to take the scenic route, for those of you who wish to do so. It is another 90 miles to the hotel if you plan on going that route. His route includes a few runs on the Dragon, and should put us back at the hotel around 6:00.

Columbus area people can coordinate the drive from Columbus to Cinci through me.

If anyone south of Cincy wants to meet up, let me know and we can try and give a time and place to meet. Probably hitting Lexington around 10:15-10:30 or so....

If you are passing from Pittsburgh, I'd love to join the gang.

Heading down I-71 to Cincy might be a little out of the way for you, but not too far.

Mike, WTF!

1. Why am I not automatically on the list?
2. Why are we not leaving at 8 as we have the last 4 times?


FYI, I have an alternate route I intend to take. It will add several hours to the drive but I hope will be worth it. I'll post details as the date nears and I figure out exactly which roads I plan on taking. If you want to roll I-75 the whole way, that's cool... but I'll be splitting off about 100 miles from Knoxville.
