PNW Picnic - SE Caravan

[Hartge_H27]

thursday would be less of a stretch. but we could get there on weds. but i dont see a reason to rush since we will be 2 days early no matter what.

Whoa, whoa.... Let's not forget about me now... since I'm in Iowa, it'd be really easy for me to meet you guys in Lincoln, Neb. I could do St. Louis but it's some more driving for me. Grand Island or North Platte could even work. I can fit into your intinerary without any problems, I really don't wann drive out by myself... that would kinda suck.

Well, we should definitely be able to have you meet us on Tuesday afternoon when we roll through Lincoln, Nebraska. So I guess, just figure out when you need to leave your place to meet us there.

I'll post an updated Google Map in a little bit.

edit:
Here ya go. This has a point on I-80 (I believe) right past Lincoln, Nebraska.
I'm about to post the route I will be taking. I suggest that everyone do this so we know where everyone is coming from and what the meet up locations are. I know most of us will be meeting up in St. Louis. Hartge and myself are going to be meeting in Memphis (correct?) and then meeting everyone in St. Louis.

double edit:
Here is the route I plan on taking.

[Erick]

That's the route I was going to do (past St. Louis) so I'm straight. Does anyone want to buy a few walkies for the ride up? I got a CB radio too.

[PiercedE30]

I've got a couple of walkie talkies. I will pull them out of whatever box they are in and make sure they work in the next few days.

[Hartge_H27]

yea i have some walkie's also. yes pierced we will be meeting up in memphis.

[Erick]

I think I will be meeting up with Elliot in GA.

[NC325iC]

driving e30s cross country in 2 days though tempting makes me nervous, will have to see what kind of time off work i can get (when i get a job lol) anyone from NC goin

edit: dont know what the chances of me actually doin this are but if you take the route that pierced linked:

i could take 40 west and meet up with yall in nashville, or memphis as some have said they were meeting there

[E30trash]

I think I will be meeting up with Elliot in GA.

good, deal. wanna meet in atlanta friday/saturday?

EDIT: also erick, you are welcome to stay at my house in OR for a week or two. ill probably just be hanging around anyways.

[duodvlhntr]

That sounds good to me. What's your time frame for being there? Err... I'll just read the thread again to make sure. Unless you've changed it. Did you change it?

[KenC]

You guys are effing nuts! haha

It'll be dope to meet some of you guys though for sure.

[Erick]

Whichever way works for me. I dunno about being in GA on Friday already... but maybe. I got a good friend in Atlanta I can meet up with for a day or two.
