WAKE THE DRAGON 2006 Itinerary and Meeting Info
Ok, here's the plan.
*******important last minute info!********
The construction splits the lanes in front of the Oasis. There is time after the toll, but not much. So if you use IPass, be sure to get to the right ASAP once you pay the toll. There will be a barrier that splits the far left lane from the two right lanes. If you want to get off at the Oasis, you NEED to get in one of the two right lanes.
For those that are meeting up with us from the wisconsin/illinois area, we will be meeting at the
LINCOLN OASIS in SOUTH HOLLAND, IL
See below:

Meet time is 3:30pm no later!!!!!
Traffic starts to get heavy that time of day, so we need to get a move on asap from that location. If you are going to meet us AND you have already paid for and registered for the dragon, please post here AND PM me with your S2k name, your real name, and a cell phone you can be reached at on that day.
from urmil:
there is NO crossing from one side of the oasis to the other. Otherwise IDOT would LOSE alot of money from collecting tolls from people turning around at the oasis.
Make sure you are going 294 SOUTHBOUND!!!
Another thing to note, we will meet on the "inside track" of that two road plaza. The outer road directs you to the gas station and then eventually out of the plaza and back onto the highway.
The "inside track" has a larger parking lot for us to congregate with others, go grab some food, drinks, and potty break....and then can feed us back to the gas station and then out to the highway.
Also, if you have not made your hotel reservation at the hotel that DERF arranged for us, PM him asap.
Please, DO NOT post in this thread that you are going if you have not ALREADY signed up AND paid for your WTD06 registration to airgate/raul. I need to have an exact idea who is going, and don't want people telling me they're coming when they haven't even signed up for the dragon.
Also, BRING RADIOS. We usually use those little motorola-type radios to communicate on, and this will help keep us informed if someone needs to stop for gas or to use the bathroom or any other reason.
For further information about where we go from the hotel on friday morning, you can check the I75 S caravan thread, or you can PM West Side Billy. Also, please, don't "whore up" this thread, as I'd like to be able to keep it as informational as possible.

Hey Matt just to make sure there is no confusion for everyone I assume everyone should be on this side?
