PNW Picnic - SE Caravan

[PiercedE30]

Erick, post up a map of the route that's fastest for you. I would like to see if there is a point where I could meet up on that route.

You'd have to meet me in GA. I dont have the route with me right now, but it's straight north past KY before I start heading west. Cant recall exactly where it crosses through, I know it crosses all the northern states from the Great Lakes to the PNW.

Going through LA would add 3 hours, and we'd be heading through Dallas, then north to KS, then to Salt Lake City, and towards the PNW.

Ok, here is another route that I just drew up on Google maps. New Map We could meet up in Memphis. It adds like 2 or 3 hours to my trip, but when you are looking at a trip this long, 2/3 hours doesn't really make that big of a difference.

IMO. Just a heads up and I am sure you guys might know this when my family lived in LA traffic was a nightmare any time of the day. I think it best to stay away from huge cities.

So does anyone actually want to hang out at my place for a day or two before we head up to the picnic? the drive from my place in oregon is really relaxing.

[Erick]

I'm down to look at that option. Right now I'm more concerned with the route itself.

I see the 3 guys in the SE being in AL, GA and LA. Gotta find a place for everyone to meet up.

If anyone need a place to stay on the way there or the way back let me know. Lodging and food at no cost, if your interested

Well i have a aunt that lives just south of seattle and she would kill me if i didnt stay at here place. But i might be interested on the way home. I have to stop in portland anyway.

Ok, so quick roll call. Who from the SE is actually planning to head up. Post up where you are so we can start figuring out where to meet up.

1. Erick - rwdrift - Ft. Lauderdale, FL :p
2.
3.

1. Erick - rwdrift - Ft. Lauderdale, FL :razz:
2.Alex - Hartge_H27 - Birmingham, AL :)
3.

So on the topic of where we can meet. If Erick and trash meet up in atlanta, and me and pierced meet up in memphis we could all meet up in St louis. This adds 1 hour to my drive and 2 hours to pierced drive. but it keeps the route strat forward for everyone. this is just a start to the planning.

1. Erick - rwdrift - Ft. Lauderdale, FL
2. Alex - Hartge_H27 - Birmingham, AL
3. Jon - PiercedE30 - Baton Rouge, LA

Hartge, that's not a bad idea.

[Erick]

My fastest route actually goes through St.Louis, so I'm game for that. It's 18 hours from me, which is almost 1/2 the trip for me... I could actually use St.Louis as a rest stop.

[Hartge_H27]

well that seems to be the best answer so far.

[Hartge_H27]

has anyone put this up on e30tech? I just put this up in the southeast section of bimmerforums.

[Erick]

Yeah, St.Louis works for me.
