Use this to post up specific plans on where you are coming from and plan on meeting from.

Heading North From NC:
Elliot Charlie, 93_5sp
Route: I-77 North through most of WV, then I-70 West through OH into IN. Planning on meeting the NJ/NY/PA convoys around 5pm.

McDonald's
102 W WASHINGTON ST
JAMESTOWN, OH 45335
This is where the NC + NY/NJ/PA group intend to meet up at 5pm


Heading West from NJ/NY/PA:
Drewman, Overkill, Nierece, Ds4x4, (others?)
Route: Riding out most of I-70


Heading East from IL:
Ken/Wiley

Post up dates/time you are leaving and the route you plan on taking. After things start materializing I'll organize them and update this first post so people don't have to dig through a bunch of stuff.

I have a feeling this is the route Elliot And I are going to take. I think we'll leave Thursday morning probably and will meet up with the NE convoys in Ohio-ish area.

I'll be heading along 70 the whole way, leaving here Thursday late morning. I live about about 20 minutes from 70, so someone could even ring me when they get hear Washington, PA (that's where I get on.) My girl's probably meeting me there, but I might break off from the group to pick her up in Indianappolis.

I'll be towing, but since it's mostly flat I can maintain a pretty steady 80 assuming there's not too much wind.

I'll be running 70 out of baltimore, catch 68 then jump back up on 70 around washington PA. With a diesal and 4.33 gears in the tow rig wind shouldn't be a problem:finga:

I think I maj have another dub, a zj and maybe an xj (flameaway) joining me. I did however tell the guy with the GMC Jimmy he can't come.

all in all, so far 8-11 in our convoy

You guys have any target time for hitting Dayton, OH? Curious if I'll hit / be hit by the convoy.

Me and a tj will be leaving baltimore around 8:00am. I'm guessing that will put us by washington pa. around 11am and then put us in the campground around 6pm. This leaves some time to set up the camper and stuff in the light.

Put the seats down and inflate an air mattress! Make sure you crack the winders.

It's much less comfortable than you would think. I did it one night when I was drunk and had the worst kink in my neck for like the next 3 days.

Slim - You still planning on rolling through Washington PA at about 11am? Want to meet up? That'd put us at the campsite at about 6pm. We'd miss the other Caravan (we pass Jamestown at 2pm instead of 5pm) but I'd rather get there to set up camp and drink some beers!

You'd be hitting 70 further east than me, and there's no good meeting place around Washington, I'd be getting on from 79 south at exit 18, I'm sure we could find somewhere to meet without wasting much time, or a gas station if you need to fuel up.

A hair over 6 foot.



What are your plans for heading down there or are you still unsure. I should have my new lift buttoned up by tomorrow afternoon, and I get it aligned Wed and pick up my sliders Thurs and I will be ready to go.
