Thats great news

i was in the process of updating the plans as you posted ^^

spectre · 05-11-2009, 09:55 AM

That maybe doable...it looks to be about a 2hr drive so that would put us in around 6:30 or 7am and time for a coffee

spectre · 05-11-2009, 12:49 PM

Hmm...that is about 15 or 20 min. north so a bit out of the way. We may need to catch you south or along the way.

Oh you guys will be heading down 71 S.

We should probably meet just south of cincy than.

I'll find something and update.

ajp33 · 05-11-2009, 01:15 PM

Can you suggest some hotels / safe area etc near the meet point as I'll have to stay over the night before

Bgwilly31 · 05-11-2009, 02:25 PM

There is a really nice marriot at Union centre exit in west chester.

Or with a few Pm's to me so i can get to know you

i'll more than likely u crash at my place with bowlcut and I .

jmiesse · 05-12-2009, 07:03 PM

Yeah it might be a bit out of the way. Any new suggestions where to meet?

jmiesse · 05-12-2009, 07:11 PM

South of cincy might be better or at the 275 71 area on the north end

Bgwilly31 · 05-13-2009, 08:08 AM

I'll find something shortly.

I believe there is a decent exit with mcdonalds and more just south of the river where 71 S and 75 S meet.

jmiesse · 05-13-2009, 05:57 PM

maybe should meet south of the city to get away from rush hour traffic... just a thought

Bgwilly31 · 05-15-2009, 10:25 AM

ajp33 · 05-26-2009, 07:39 AM

Not long now :-) Will drop you a pm in a sec

Rat27 · 05-26-2009, 08:25 AM

I won't know until tomorrow if I can join the caravan as you pass by Nashville. I'll post tomorrow if I can join in. Either way give me a call as you are coming through Nashville. It will be late morning so maybe you can make a stop for lunch or at I can provide a little local knowledge. I'll PM my phone numbers.

jmiesse · 05-26-2009, 06:10 PM

you have a pm

Rat27 · 05-27-2009, 08:29 AM

Unfortunately I won't be able to join the caravan. I need to coach a baseball game.

Please give me a call when you pass through Nashville so my gearhead friends and I can go to the window and admire you as you pass by the Nissan building. We're about 15 miles south of Nashville on I-65 between exits 68 and 67 on the east side of the Interstate.

If you're looking for a gas stop at that point in the trip there are a Shell and Exxon at 68B. There are also several fast food places at this exit but the area is crowded at lunch time.

Exit 65 just south of us also has several gas stations and fast food but once you pass that it gets pretty sparse until you get to Huntsville.
